Precious metals have been on fire recently—spot gold has not stopped for two weeks, repeatedly hitting new all-time highs; spot silver is even more aggressive, with a fierce rally over the past three months, and it still firmly remains at high levels.

In comparison, Bitcoin's days are a bit tough. From its all-time high to now, it has retraced by $30,000. This market divergence is quite interesting; precious metals and crypto assets have experienced completely different trends. Perhaps this also reflects the current change in investor sentiment—traditional safe-haven assets are becoming more attractive, while the crypto market faces certain adjustment pressures.

Gold hits a new high again, this rhythm is really intense --- A pullback of $30,000... it’s a bit painful, but why panic now --- Still the old saying, safe-haven assets will never go out of style --- Traditional finance is stable, while our crypto world is still messing around --- Watching gold rise and BTC fall, this comparison is a bit heartbreaking --- Metals are the true "digital gold," pity our crypto --- Alright, time to listen to some people brag again --- Fund flow is clearly visible from this round of market movement --- The popularity of precious metals in the past two years is truly an unexpected joy

Gold and silver are so fierce, it actually makes people a bit worried... Is this the prelude to a major event? --- BTC retraces to 30,000? Oh my, this is the real bloodbath. --- The crazy rise in precious metals is just rushing in to hedge risk, understand this logic? --- Wait, traditional assets attract capital, while crypto gets hammered—I've seen this story before... --- Are the funds for gold and silver coming out of the crypto world? --- A retracement to 30,000 USD and still standing there, I really respect that. --- The booming safe-haven assets seem to be hinting at something the market is signaling. --- Precious metals hitting new highs, while crypto gets hammered down—this contrast... is a bit heartbreaking.

Gold hits new highs again and again, but our crypto friends are bleeding... The contrast is a bit outrageous. --- Wait, when traditional safe-haven assets surge, crypto has to die? That logic is a bit strange. --- A $30,000 pullback... Those still bottom-fishing at this time must be under a lot of pressure. --- Precious metals have surged fiercely this round. It feels like everyone is shifting into safe assets. --- Gold and silver repeatedly hit new highs, but isn't that a signal—markets are in panic. --- What's going on... The crypto market drops by $30,000, but precious metals are soaring. Who's right and who's wrong? --- It's interesting, but it looks uncomfortable... When will it be our turn? --- Market divergence is indeed extreme, but I still bet on a crypto rebound. I don't believe this evil.

Gold and silver keep rising, but BTC is dropping below 30,000. This divergence... really can't hold anymore. --- Traditional safe-haven assets suddenly become popular, but the crypto market is indeed a bit cold this time. --- Laughing to death, precious metals are making history, while my coins are writing a tragedy. --- The market sentiment has changed, money is flowing into gold, no wonder the crypto circle feels so uncomfortable. --- A pullback below $30,000 indicates that large funds are reallocating, and precious metals are truly attractive. --- It's the same old story—when risk appears, money flows into safe-haven assets, and crypto becomes the scapegoat.

Gold and silver are crazily hitting new highs, but our crypto brothers are getting hammered pretty badly. Traditional assets are so attractive now, it seems everyone is still timid. Wait, is this pullback another opportunity to buy the dip? Precious metals are eating the meat while the crypto circle is drinking the soup; the market divergence is really outrageous. It's already 2024 and people are still playing with safe-haven assets, which is a bit outdated. Bitcoin has fallen from its high by 30,000, that sounds painful, but isn't this just a cycle? When gold hits a new high, we are cutting losses; this is the fate of the crypto world.

When precious metals hit new highs, I was thinking, is this another signal of a cycle top? Data shows that behind every "risk-averse asset frenzy," there is often a market expectation problem. BTC retracing to $30,000 is indeed ugly, but ironically, those who shout "gold is never enslaved" said the same five years ago.

Gold and silver are skyrocketing, but BTC is bleeding. Why is there such a big difference? --- Alright, alright, it's time for the precious metals to shine again. The crypto world has become the bagholders. --- What’s with the 30,000 pullback? Where’s my hard-earned money? --- Interesting, traditional assets suddenly look attractive, and we crypto players are getting slapped in the face. --- Silver surged dramatically, while BTC is just stuck here. The market is really crazy. --- Something's off. Why are precious metals so resistant to drops now? The crypto circle is about to cool down. --- Spot gold hit a new high, BTC dropped 30,000. Is this what they call "divergence"? LOL

Gold and silver only know how to rise, but the crypto circle is taking a beating. This divergence indeed has a certain flavor. The market is telling you what is a hard asset and what is a confidence game. A $30,000 retracement indicates that someone is fleeing. As risk aversion rises, the precious metals buyers are smiling. Historical highs are coming one after another. Is this time really different? Let's wait and see. With such strong correction pressure in the crypto circle, where is the bottom? Gold's hardness is evident, but bubbles are also present. In this rotation, traditional funds are bottom-fishing in precious metals, while crypto retail investors are cutting losses.
