The markets are sending a strong message right now: risk is being reduced.
Over the past few days, the crypto market has seen heavy selling, with more than $100 billion wiped out from total market capitalization in a short span. Bitcoin and major altcoins broke key support levels, triggering liquidations and a surge in short positions as traders positioned for further downside.
At the same time, precious metals are doing the opposite.
🟡 Gold has climbed to fresh highs, gaining roughly 15–18% year-on-year, driven by falling confidence in fiat currencies, expectations of rate cuts, and rising geopolitical uncertainty.
⚪ Silver has outperformed even gold, surging over 25–30% in the last year, supported by both its safe-haven demand and growing industrial use.
