History always repeats itself in a strange way.
Robert Kiyosaki’s latest tweet in particular addressed this idea. In his post, he compared the 2026 cycle to the 1974 cycle, when the US dollar became the petrodollar. Simply put, instead of being backed by gold, the US dollar was actually backed by oil. Fast forward to today, and the world appears to be once again on the brink of conflict, fueled by oil.
On the technical side, oil continues to trend higher and is approaching $115 per barrel. Bitcoin [BTC] has felt the pressure, with its stock down more than 20% this cycle so far, its worst annual performance since the 2022 bear market. Against this backdrop, Kiyosaki’s historical comparison is starting to seem more and more relevant.
From a macro perspective it is Kiyosaki marked There are several similarities, including rising U.S. debt, persistent inflationary pressures and increased unemployment risks. These observations come at a particularly key time, when the week is packed with big things macroeconomic data publications that will drive market volatility.
Take the March CPI inflation report, which will be released on April 10. This could be the most important data point as it could influence the Fed’s next interest rate decisions and have a direct impact on Bitcoin investors. With nearly nine major macro releases scheduled for this week, markets are likely to see a sharp increase in volatility.
This brings the focus back to Robert Kiyosaki. In his role, he reinforced his belief in assets like gold and Bitcoin as hedges in a volatile macro environment. However, a recent insight shared by Fidelity’s chief executive suggests that Bitcoin, rather than gold, could emerge as the main beneficiary of shifting capital flows.
That naturally begs the question: is BTC preparing for strong price action this week?
Bitcoin flows reverse as macro volatility and liquidity align
Very rarely does a setup appear where macro FUD actually works in Bitcoin’s favor.
According to AMBCrypto, with this week testing the market’s resilience, this setup could mark a major turning point for the 2026 Bitcoin cycle, potentially marking a marked departure from previous rallies when macro uncertainty led to large capital outflows. An important catalyst to keep an eye on is the BTC to gold ratio.
According to Fidelity, when Bitcoin peaked last October, ETP flows turned out of BTC and into gold. As gold begins to lose momentum while Bitcoin stabilizes, these flows appear to be reversing. Simply put, gold has started behaving more like Bitcoin, while Bitcoin is increasingly behaving like a hedge similar to gold.
Meanwhile, the timing of this capital rotation couldn’t be better.
At a broader macro level, liquidity injections are beginning to roll out across global markets. For example, the Federal Reserve bought $14.7 billion in government bonds this week. Against the backdrop of Bitcoin and gold, this liquidity situation looks increasingly supportive for BTC, especially as markets head into a volatile week.
In this context, Robert Kiyosaki’s prospects are becoming increasingly relevant, as rising liquidity alongside macro FUD strengthens the case for assets like gold and Bitcoin. However, Fidelity’s observation suggests that Bitcoin could be the main beneficiary, positioning BTC for potentially bullish price action during this macro-heavy week.
Final summary
- Robert Kiyosaki highlights historical parallels between the 1974 and 2026 cycles, arguing that macro instability strengthens the case for hard assets like gold and Bitcoin.
- Capital flows appear to be returning to BTC from gold, making Bitcoin a potential major beneficiary this week.
