In mathematics, π (3.14) represents harmony and perfection in natural laws. But in today’s crypto market, the $3.14 trillion total market capitalization has become a symbol of fear, as capital continues to retreat and risk appetite fades.
At the same time, gold and silver have surged to new all-time highs amid rising geopolitical tensions and growing macroeconomic uncertainty. Gold climbed to a record $4,689.39 per ounce, while silver reached $94.08, highlighting a clear shift toward safe-haven assets.
Why Did Bitcoin’s Price Drop?
Following President Trump’s latest announcement, Bitcoin plunged by nearly $6,000 in a single day, hitting a low of $91,893 before stabilizing around $92,572. While gold and silver benefited from the global flight to safety, Bitcoin failed to attract safe-haven demand. This reaction once again confirms that during sudden global shocks, Bitcoin is still widely treated as a risk asset, rather than a defensive one.
Even institutional investors stepped back. Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net outflows of approximately $394.7 million, with BlackRock contributing only $15 million in inflows, underscoring the cautious stance of large players.
Heavy Liquidations Across the Crypto Market
The price decline triggered massive liquidations. Over the past 24 hours, more than 240,000 traders were liquidated, with total losses reaching $864 million. Notably, nearly 90% of these losses came from long positions, showing how bullish traders were caught off guard by the sharp reversal. The selling pressure extended well beyond Bitcoin. Altcoins followed the weakness:
Ethereum fell by around 3.5%XRP, Solana, and Cardano declined between 5% and 8%
Trade tensions and macro uncertainty are now weighing on the entire crypto market.
What Should We Do Now?
In an environment where capital is clearly favoring gold and silver, the priority is not aggressive profit-seeking, but capital preservation and strategic patience.
Recommended strategy:
Prioritize capital protection, avoid rushing to catch the bottomReduce exposure to weak altcoins and avoid leverageFocus on BTC spot holdings and stablecoinsRe-enter gradually only when Bitcoin stabilizes and ETF outflows slow or stop
When money flows into gold, the goal is not to outperform the market, but to stay safe long enough to seize the next real opportunity.
