[Analysis: Rare 'divergent market trend' emerges between cryptocurrency and precious metals, possibly driven by more than just risk aversion] According to Forbes, since hitting an all-time high in October, Bitcoin and the broader crypto asset market have experienced a significant pullback. Bitcoin's price is currently hovering around $90,000 per coin, down from its historical peak of $126,000. Meanwhile, gold, silver, and U.S. stocks have accelerated upward toward the end of the year, creating a rare 'divergent market trend.' This phenomenon is likely driven by more than just risk aversion sentiment; it may reflect institutional and capital-driven 'strategic responses' to the global monetary system. Ramnivas Mundada, Head of Economic Research and Corporate Research at GlobalData, predicts that the process of de-dollarization will accelerate as global central banks continue to adjust reserve structures and reduce reliance on dollar-denominated assets. By 2026, gold could further rise by 8%-15%, while silver may increase by 20%-35%.
