Everyone’s confused why gold is pumping while $BTC is getting smoked, so let’s clear it up ⬇️
Simple version: capital is rotating into safety and away from risk.
> Gold = fear hedge.
> BTC (in practice) = still treated like a high-beta risk asset.
When macro looks shaky, big money:
> Cuts equities + crypto
> Adds Treasuries, cash, gold
So gold wins in “risk-off” while BTC eats the pain.
Add in leverage unwinds, recession fears, and rate-cut games, and BTC gets sold first while gold quietly makes new highs.
On CT, people only ask “why?” after the move already happened.
