The Nasdaq has dropped 1.7%, the S&P 500 has fallen 1.2%, and bitcoin has declined to $81,000 after nearly reaching $85,000 the previous day.
Over the past three weeks, the Nasdaq has lost nearly 15%, while bitcoin has fallen around 20%, in contrast to gold’s steady 1% rise.
This pattern mirrors trends from 2024, when both stocks and cryptocurrencies stagnated while gold gained nearly 40%.
Bitcoin had surged past $100,000 following Donald Trump’s election victory but later lost momentum as investors returned to riskier assets.
Investor sentiment is further reflected in ETF movements.
Gold ETFs have seen their largest inflows since early 2022, adding 3 million ounces, while spot bitcoin ETFs have faced $5 billion in outflows since February—their worst streak since launching.
This shift underscores gold’s appeal as a safe haven during economic uncertainty, while bitcoin struggles to maintain its previous highs.
