There are many reasons for the recent wave of declines: escalating trade disputes between the US and Europe, tense geopolitical situations, and fluctuations in the Japanese bond market. These factors have dragged down global risk assets, and Bitcoin and other mainstream cryptocurrencies have also been affected.

Interestingly, traditional safe-haven assets performed remarkably well—gold hit new highs, silver followed closely, while the crypto market continued to decline. This contrast itself reveals many issues: when macro risks emerge, the market treats cryptocurrencies as risk assets rather than safe havens. No matter how good the words sound in normal times, in a crisis, some still run to traditional safe harbors.

Also, pay attention to an important speech around 9:30 PM tonight at the Davos Forum. This brother has always been unpredictable, and no one can guess what he will say next. Market fluctuations are generally within expectations. Everyone should prepare psychologically and manage risks accordingly.

Another wave of "safe-haven assets" is here, the real deal, laughing Gold rises, coins fall, basically no one takes us seriously That guy from Davos is going to stir things up again tonight, get ready to cut losses, everyone They say Bitcoin is digital gold, so why does it become trash at critical moments? When risk hits, everyone rushes to Hong Kong stocks, illusions shattered This drop is really like a health check report, directly exposing the true status of the crypto world Another "potential major speech," feels like another plunge this afternoon

Gold hits a new high while coins fall, this storyline is so cliché That guy in Davos opens his mouth, everyone has to tighten up Stop talking about digital gold, when a real crisis hits, who still believes this stuff

Gold Flying Coin is falling. To be honest, it's still a confidence issue. It's funny. It's either Davos or trade wars. Do they really think retail investors' hearts are made of iron? The risk-avoidance theories that were hyped up in the crypto world, why is no one talking about them now? Laughing to death. Nine thirty at night, do I have to keep watching the market? Forget it, I'm going to sleep. The grandkids are all rushing into gold, we're still a long way from that in this industry.

Gold rises, cryptocurrencies fall. To put it simply, that's how it is—safe-haven assets still rely on traditional assets to wear the crown. It's both geopolitics and trade; when macro issues stir up, we can only watch the spectacle and stay calm. That guy speaking at Davos tonight, the market is definitely going to shake. Prepare in advance. When a crisis hits the crypto world, it exposes its true nature. What's the point of safe-haven assets? It's laughable. Those who manage risks well can sleep peacefully now; otherwise, they'll be anxious every day. They talk big in normal times, but in critical moments, they still run to gold. That's human nature. Stay alert tonight—who knows what nuclear-level remarks that guy might drop.

Is this the same old excuse again, blaming macroeconomics whenever gold rises and coins fall? Basically, no one wants it, stop talking about it as a safe-haven asset. That guy from Davos is about to make a statement again, let's pray in advance, everyone. It's funny, the crypto circle talks big all the time, but when the bear market hits, it instantly becomes a risk asset. This drop was not surprising at all; we should have realized it earlier. Get ready for liquidation notices at 9:30, haha.
