Brothers, good evening! The market completely exploded today:$BTC It once crashed to $81K-$83K (currently rebounding around 84K), dropping over 7% in 24 hours, with over $2 billion liquidated across the network!$PAXG Gold is even worse, plummeting 5-6% from the record high of $5594 to a low of $4978, with silver crashing 12%! Risk assets are being wiped out across the board, with total crypto market value evaporating over $300 billion.
Core reasons for the crash explained quickly (multiple factors in resonance):
Profit-taking + speculative selling: After gold peaked, institutions/retail investors engaged in large-scale profit-taking, and crypto leveraged players were forcibly liquidated, forming a vicious cycle.
Macroeconomic risk off returns: Fed's hawkish tone (interest rates unchanged + uncertain new chair rumors), dollar rebounds, and risk aversion sentiment skyrockets.
Tech stocks dragged down: Major AI companies like MSFT reported misses + stock market flash crash, affecting crypto (high correlation) and gold (safe-haven assets also being sold off).
ETF outflows + liquidity tightening: BTC spot ETF continues to experience net outflows (over hundreds of billions in January), stablecoin supply shrinks, amplifying the decline.
Geopolitical + policy uncertainty: Trump tariffs/Fed personnel rumors intensify global volatility, funds escape to cash rather than 'digital/traditional gold'. My view: This wave is a typical risk-off flash crash, short-term bottom remains unclear (BTC pay attention to 80K-82K support, gold watch for psychological barrier at 5000), but the medium to long-term narrative hasn't changed — corrections are just consolidation! Don't panic sell, those who dare to buy at low levels are the winners. Layout idea (for reference only, not investment advice):
Short-term: Mainly cash, try a small position to test BTC around 80K-82K, stop loss at 78K.
Gold enthusiasts: Build positions in batches at support levels of 5000-5100, profit from rebounds.
Medium-term: Hold positions until Fed clarity + ETF inflow reversal, target BTC 92K+, gold returning to 5500.
