[Crypto World] Recently, as the geopolitical situation has changed, an interesting phenomenon has emerged: gold surged over 7%, reaching a record high, while Bitcoin declined nearly 17% in the opposite direction. What does this reflect? Industry insiders point out that the two are completely on different levels. Gold has always been a "safe haven" during economic uncertainty, with prices inversely related to risk. Although Bitcoin is touted as digital gold, it is fundamentally a risk asset, and market sentiment fluctuations often cause it to fall along with other risk assets. This contrast is very straightforward—when investors start to fear, they tend to sell risk assets first to buy gold. Bitcoin's performance at this moment often resembles that of highly volatile stocks. Therefore, if you want to understand Bitcoin purely through the logic of gold, you might need to reassess the market roles of both.

The four-year cycle myth of Bitcoin needs to be reexamined, as market trends are increasingly dependent on liquidity and capital attention rather than time cycles. In 2025, the transmission of crypto wealth weakens, and investor focus on the stock market leads to a brief rebound cycle for altcoins. In 2026, expanding ETF investments, strong rallies in mainstream coins, or retail investor inflows into crypto are needed to change the concentrated pattern.

Analysts point out that the current Bitcoin market is significantly different from 2022. Although there is a superficial pullback, the price structure, macro environment, and investor composition have changed. The increase in institutional investors, the decrease in retail investors, and changes in chip distribution have affected market volatility and support levels, so past experiences cannot be simply applied.
