#数字资产市场动态 Gold just hit a new all-time high and then plunged. In the past couple of days, spot gold has fallen to around $4,300 per ounce, which looks alarming, but don’t rush to think the trend has reversed.

This more resembles a normal correction after excessive chasing higher. In the short term, liquidity dries up before the holiday, funds focus on taking profits, and the slight rebound of the US dollar all suppress gold prices. Moreover, the recent gains have been substantial, and technically, a correction is indeed needed to digest the profit-taking.

But what truly matters is that the big long-term logic has not changed. Market expectations of the Federal Reserve shifting to easing next year still persist, and global political uncertainties have not diminished—in fact, they are increasing. These are fundamental factors supporting safe-haven assets. The market sentiment has simply shifted from "chasing gains" to "waiting for a correction," and safe-haven demand still exists.

The takeaway for the crypto market is: in the short term, we may see fluctuations in safe-haven capital flows, with gold and Bitcoin both experiencing volatility—that’s normal. But in the medium term, once monetary policy truly loosens, gold as a traditional safe-haven asset and Bitcoin as a new safe-haven asset are not mutually exclusive; rather, they will benefit together.

The core logic is quite simple—every correction in gold is building strength for the next trend. Don’t be fooled by daily K-line fluctuations; what you should understand is the main theme of easing expectations combined with rising uncertainty. Against this backdrop, gold and crypto assets are just taking turns stepping onto the stage.

Another good show. I saw this wave of gold plunge coming long ago. Whether it retraces or not is within expectations; the key is just not to break the line of loose monetary policy expectations. --- Take-profit orders are really ruthless, but this is indeed a good opportunity. Who doesn't want safe-haven assets at low levels? --- Exactly right. Gold and Bitcoin ultimately benefit in the same direction. Don't make them seem so opposed; those who need to accumulate should keep accumulating. --- The reason of liquidity exhaustion can be used every time. Anyway, it's just normal volatility. I choose to lie flat. --- The long-term and medium-term logic is solid. The Fed turning to easing is almost certain. Those waiting to buy the dip are expecting to make a killing. --- Political uncertainty is still soaring. Safe-haven funds will eventually flow somewhere. Gold and cryptocurrencies will take turns dancing.

The take-profit orders are too aggressive; this wave of plunge is really hard to hold. But on the other hand, the real opportunity is still ahead, right?

Diving is just diving, a normal correction. The key is that the loose expectations are still in place. --- With this rhythm, gold and BTC indeed take turns to appear. When the easing comes next year, everything will take off. --- Basically, just wait for a correction. Don't panic; the main logic hasn't changed. --- Another round of震荡洗盘 (shakeout and consolidation). Those who have seen it are not afraid. --- So in the short term, you can bottom fish. In the medium term, both gold and crypto will win. The logic is smooth. --- Liquidity exhaustion plus taking profits—this retracement is very normal. It's truly surprising that some are still scared out. --- The easing expectations haven't disappeared; that's enough. Gold prices will continue to rise, it's just a matter of time. --- Gold and BTC benefiting simultaneously—this is the idea I like. It's not opposition but moving in the same direction. --- Wait, are all funds before the holiday cashing out? Should I go against the trend? --- Technical adjustments to digest profit-taking—old routine. Don't be fooled by the daily K-line.

It's the same old story, a pullback is just building strength? The expectation of easing remains far away.

A pullback is very normal; it's mainly about the expectation of easing. --- Gold and Bitcoin are actually competing for the same market; don't get caught up in who replaces whom. --- Liquidity exhaustion happens every year before holidays; it's nothing new. --- 4300 is not the bottom; political risks are still present. --- Instead of focusing on short-term K-line charts, consider whether the Federal Reserve will really loosen monetary policy. --- In essence, it's about the rotation of safe-haven assets; smart money is waiting for the right opportunity. --- Technical adjustments to digest profit-taking are logical and sound. --- If the expectation of easing actually materializes, gold prices will soar together. --- Those worried about trend reversals now are just scared out of their wits. --- Rising uncertainty is the real key; gold benefits from this scenario.
