🟡After reaching an all-time high of $4,381 per ounce, gold suffered its largest single-day drop in 12 years, plunging more than 6%. Analysts had long warned of overheating in the market, prompting investors to take profits and pull capital out of the traditional safe-haven asset. As a result, gold’s market capitalization shrank by roughly $2.1 trillion, raising concerns among holders.
🟡Meanwhile, Bitcoin showed resilience, gaining about 0.5% and once again nearing $109,000. Experts suggest this marks the beginning of a “capital rotation” from gold into cryptocurrencies. Historical patterns support the idea that such divergences between the two assets often precede BTC rallies. If the trend continues, 2025 could become a defining year in the long-standing competition between Bitcoin and gold.
