Jim Cramer Tells Investors To Stick With Gold: 'Ignore Crypto Cheerleaders Now That Bitcoin's Bouncing'
© Reuters. Jim Cramer Tells Investors To Stick With Gold: 'Ignore Crypto Cheerleaders Now That Bitcoin's Bouncing'
Benzinga - Jim Cramer, CNBC’s Mad Money Host warned investors to not get caught up in the hype surrounding crypto despite Bitcoin’s (CRYPTO: BTC) recent gains. Instead, he recommended that investors look to gold.
What Happened: Cramer delved into the analysis presented by Garner, the senior commodity market strategist and broker at DeCarley Trading, to look at the daily chart of Bitcoin futures and the tech-heavy Nasdaq-100 since March 2021.
"The charts, as interpreted by Carley Garner, suggest you need to ignore the crypto cheerleaders now that bitcoin's bouncing. And if you seriously want a real hedge against inflation or economic chaos, she says you should stick with gold. And I agree," he said.

Cramer pointed out that the prices of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are almost trading in lockstep, indicating that rather than being a currency or a stable store of value, they're risky assets. He went on to say that it would be ridiculous for business owners to try and conduct transactions with shares of Facebook parent Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ: META) or Google parent Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL), given their volatility and the same goes for Bitcoin.
Price Action: BTC was trading at $23,042 up 1.45% in the last 24 hours, according to Benzinga Pro.
