Recently, there is an interesting phenomenon: the logic of price synchronization in the precious metals market and the crypto market is actually the same.
Take silver as an example. It seems to have fundamental support, but in reality, it has long since detached from fundamentals. What is driving its price now is not supply and demand, but the risk premium spillover caused by gold's price increase, triggering collective FOMO. This logic is also fully applicable to BTC and ETH—BTC is the "leader," and other assets must follow its risk premium trend, forming three typical patterns: synchronized rally, accelerated catch-up after the leader stabilizes, and synchronized decline with cautious rebounds during major drops.
Last year, gold rose but silver didn't keep up. Why did it suddenly follow this year? The core reason is that the macro environment has changed, and liquidity has become more relaxed. Plus, with US stocks at high levels, gold also at high levels, and BTC sentiment cooling down, ordinary investors can't afford gold, and participating in US stocks is risky. They turn to silver as an outlet for emotion and capital.
This situation is very dangerous. In the short term, FOMO bubbles will keep growing, and it is highly likely that latecomers will follow the trend and get trapped. The global economy is already weak, and blindly following the trend will only expose risks faster, risking falling into a "poverty cycle."
It's not that silver has already peaked, but the risk of following the trend at this stage must be strictly controlled. Stay calm and follow rationally.

Silver FOMO is indeed fierce, but I still think that the latecomers will have to suffer some setbacks this time
The leading players are bleeding, following the trend to buy in, this trick is played every year
It sounds very reasonable, but... it's easier said than done, human greed
Won't anyone really think that silver can keep rising like this? They're just sleepwalking
This logic applied to BTC is even more incredible, truly one in a million
Feels like all the funds are looking for an exit, so pitiful
Loose liquidity = more joyful harvesting of retail investors, no problem
Stay calm and rational, it sounds like chicken soup but it is indeed a survival rule
Tsk, the fate of latecomers

Long Yi moves, the whole army follows, the hype around silver is a bit too much this time
Wait, are ordinary people really still chasing silver? I thought they would wake up by now
FOMO is always the harshest on new entrants, history keeps repeating itself
This logic is even more obvious in the crypto world, when BTC sneezes, altcoins all catch a cold
The phrase about falling back into poverty hits too close to home, it's really time to stay calm
Risk premium overflow, to put it nicely, it's just two words—cut the韭菜
Liquidity easing and going all in? That's asking for death

yo this FOMO cascade analysis hits different... watched the exact same pattern unfold with altcoins chasing BTC's coattails. the scary part? most people don't even realize they're just chasing liquidation timebombs. silver as an emotional outlet is textbook honeypot behavior tbh

From the perspective of risk premium spillover, I agree, but the capital efficiency of silver's rally is really lacking.
Let's look at historical data; the BTC Dragon One Effect indeed exists, but the volatility range and arbitrage space for silver are not as large as imagined.
Latecomers do have a higher chance of stepping into pitfalls, that's true. Staying calm has never led to losses.

Long Yi is leading the rhythm, and those following the trend are going to lose money. This time, silver is really cutting the leeks.

Long Yi leading the way, this trick of promoting other trash coins is really boring, and some people really treat them as treasures.

Dragon One leads the rhythm, and other assets have to follow obediently. This wave is indeed just like my experience in trading cryptocurrencies.
People are greedy. If they can't afford gold, they focus on silver. When the overall environment loosens up, they start gambling. Isn't this the essence of FOMO?
Honestly, the current situation is a bit scary. Latecomers are likely to be the ones to take the hit.
Stay calm and cool, but who can really hold on when the time comes?
Risk control is easy to talk about, but when it comes to real action, everyone wants to double their gains, including me.
The logic is sound; I'm just worried most people can't see these things clearly and are still dreaming about making money.
This thing is like a game of hot potato—whoever catches it last is done for. It's a bit exciting, huh?
Once Dragon One stabilizes, it starts secretly rallying. My little clever tricks can really come in handy.
Poverty relapse is a harsh term, and in this environment, it’s not an exaggeration at all.
From gold to silver and then to crypto assets, the underlying logic is really just liquidity playing tricks.
Honestly, it all boils down to lacking good assets. Investors are just blindly buying, and silver has become the big scapegoat.
Listening rationally feels comfortable, but few can really do it, including myself.
