Bitcoin's recent market movement is quite exciting. Since the beginning of the year, it has turned negative, once dropping below the $87,500 mark, with a 24-hour decline of 3%. The market's bearish sentiment is indeed spreading.
There are many behind-the-scenes drivers. The global risk-off sentiment is the main backdrop—tensions around Greenland between the US and Europe have escalated, coupled with recent surges in Japanese government bond yields, all of which are increasing market unease. Interestingly, the traditional stock market's Nasdaq has actually risen slightly, but gold remains unaffected, hitting new highs with an ounce breaking through $4,800.
What does this divergence indicate? The flow of safe-haven funds is still following the old pattern: stocks may carry risks, but hard assets like gold are more reliable. The crypto market, under this overall environment, is also under pressure, which seems understandable.

Gold has already reached 4800, and we're still getting hammered here. The comparison is way off.

The logic behind the rising risk aversion sentiment is actually quite clear, but I want to ask—why is the Nasdaq still rising? Is there an arbitrage mechanism involved?
The signal of gold breaking through 4800 is indeed more noteworthy than Bitcoin falling below 87500. From a capital allocation perspective, what does this indicate?
A 3% decline, to be honest, isn't a big deal; the key is whether it can hold this support level in the subsequent period.

Gold hits a new high again, while the crypto market is still falling. As they say, the logic of safe-haven assets hasn't changed... tangible assets are truly attractive.

Gold keeps hitting new highs, but cryptocurrencies are still struggling. This time, it's really a bit upsetting.

Gold takes off while Bitcoin drops, how big is this difference... It seems that old money still trusts the gold approach more.
