The recent fall of Bitcoin is not driven by a single factor, but rather the result of multiple pressures stacking up.
Forced liquidation, slow progress in cryptocurrency industry legislation, fading enthusiasm for institutional buying, and rising global policy uncertainty — all of these are suppressing the market's risk appetite. At the same time, the US stock market has not been spared; AI concept stocks have underperformed expectations, employment data has softened, and the overall pressure is quite evident. However, it is not all bad news; the continued decline in inflation provides some support, and the strong performance of semiconductor companies has also alleviated the stock market's falling trend to some extent.
Interestingly, gold has shone brightly during this round of adjustments. With rising safe-haven demand and continuous inflows of funds for global asset diversification, gold prices have been climbing steadily, approaching historical highs. This reflects investors' choices in the face of uncertainty — flowing back from risk assets to safe-haven assets.
MicroStrategy's stock performance speaks volumes. The company has increased its Bitcoin holdings through equity financing, which should have been a positive sign, but the market is more concerned about the long-term effects of equity dilution. This worry has even overshadowed the expected returns from continuous accumulation. This also indicates that, in the current market environment, investors' attitudes have indeed become more cautious.

Gold is rising so fiercely... this is the market saying "I'm scared".
Everyone has fled to safe-haven assets, no wonder the crypto world is so quiet.
MicroStrategy over there should be hit pretty hard too, right?

Gold is taking off while Bitcoin is suffering, this is what the market is telling us about "risk preference"... However, looking at the three-year cycle, we should have expected this adjustment, and instead, I'm a bit excited, haha.

ngl the liquidation cascade is just chef's kiss for data watchers... if you look at the charts, institutions dumping btc while gold vacuums up capital? that's correlation coefficient hitting different. risk-adjusted metrics are screaming right now tbh

Gold has risen like this, and the crypto world is still falling? It shows that everyone is really panicking, all trying to buy the dip on safe-haven assets.
The institutions have run away really fast this time; as soon as the enthusiasm fades, they immediately go back to their own places, leaving us retail investors here to catch a falling knife.
During the liquidation period, I couldn't sleep well; now the industry's legislation is still nowhere in sight, how can anyone feel safe buying?
Policies are really suffocating, who dares to go all in without a clear direction?
Have we all calmed down now? Or are we still waiting for inflation data?
MicroStrategy's stock has fallen again today, it really is a barometer for Bitcoin.
The US stock AI hasn't performed either; the entire market is digesting the bubble.
But why is gold rising? Is the market hinting at something?
Wait, is this rhythm the institutions accumulating? I'm just afraid the retail investors can't hold on.
To be honest, I find this operation a bit hard to understand; what are the funds betting on?

Another round of liquidation? Once the institutions withdraw, Bitcoin is doomed, this wave is indeed a bit tragic.
I didn't expect gold to surge like this, it's really a flight from risk assets to safe haven... All the money is going to buy gold.
That guy from MicroStrategy must be freaking out right now, the shrinkage of holdings is visibly apparent.
This round of decline is a microcosm of the Bull vs Bear Battle; with no reliable policy signals, who would dare to take a Heavy Position? It's a normal reaction to be timid.
The significant pullback of Bitcoin: a multiple game of liquidation, policy uncertainty, and capital flow.
