Bitcoin Down 6% YTD as Silver Reaches Google Trends Peak of 83 and Eyes 175% Rally by 2025, KobeissiLetter Forecasts 2026 Crypto Recovery

COINOTAG News, citing KobeissiLetter on December 28, notes that the Google Trends index for silver surged to 83, a record, underscoring heightened demand for safe-haven assets. The development occurs amid shifting liquidity and risk-off sentiment that also informs Bitcoin price dynamics within the crypto space.

The report highlights a dramatic year-to-date expansion in the combined gold and silver market capitalization, supported by a softer U.S. dollar. With expectations of a dovish tilt in Fed policy, the metals complex has been tracking a multi-month stretch of gains, including a prospect of eight straight months for silver.

On the crypto front, Bitcoin is down about 6% YTD. KobeissiLetter frames the market as undergoing a mechanical bear phase driven by over-leveraging liquidations, cautioning that a near-term rebound depends on broader liquidity and macro signals, with the outlook suggesting potential stabilization in 2026.
