There are many factors putting pressure on the market in recent days—escalating US-EU trade tensions, frequent geopolitical disputes, and anomalies in the Japanese bond market. As a result, global risk assets are collectively suppressed, and BTC and various mainstream coins are also not immune.
Interestingly, traditional safe-haven assets are performing well. Spot gold has hit new highs, silver is also strengthening, while the crypto market continues to be under pressure. This contrast actually reveals several deep-seated issues—when real risks emerge and the macro situation begins to spiral out of control, the market still regards digital assets as risk assets rather than safe-haven tools. Industry insiders often say that crypto is a safe-haven asset, but in critical moments, funds still flow to traditional safe harbors.
It is worth noting that around 21:30 tonight, a prominent political figure will deliver a speech at the Davos Forum. This individual is known for their radical remarks, and it is possible they will introduce new provocative viewpoints. Market volatility is inevitable, so it is recommended to operate cautiously in the near term and closely monitor policy developments and their real-time impact on mainstream coins like BTC, ETH, SOL, and others.
From a macro perspective, this round of adjustment is also a process for the market to reassess the positioning of crypto assets.

Here comes the same story about "safe-haven assets," but in critical moments, we still run away.
Gold rises, we fall—laugh out loud, this is the reality.
That guy in Davos might cause some trouble again, and the crypto circle will have to cry along.
Real safe-haven? Nonexistent. We are always the last to know.
Instead of waiting for policies, it's better to reduce positions first to preserve capital.

Here we go again, gold safe-haven coins are falling, hilarious
Even I can see through it and yet they keep hyping safe-haven assets every day
A politician's words can make the currency collapse, it's really unsustainable
As soon as that guy at Davos starts speaking, I knew a margin call was coming
Still too young, when a real crisis hits, you still have to rely on gold
This round of adjustment, to put it plainly, is institutions harvesting retail investors

Gold hits a new high again, but our coins are still sitting on the floor
Speaking of which, we really need to see what that guy at 21:30 says; it might be another wave of plunge
Safe-haven asset? Ha, it always gets exposed at critical moments
But on the other hand, adjustments are also opportunities; it all depends on who can hold on and buy the dip
Davos Forum, such events have always been breeding grounds for black swans
This wave has awakened a lot of people; the story of crypto as a safe haven needs to be revised
I'll just watch and wait; anyway, not cutting losses is a big problem
