Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Gold price action. Source: TradingViewBTC and ETH followed in the footsteps of precious metals, beginning an uptrend exactly 24 hours after gold and silver. Investors are watching gold with laser focus as the metal inches closer to breaking its all-time high at $1,921 per troy ounce.
