In the grand theatre of global uncertainty, investors like stage‑hands who have seen too many sets go to the comforting balcony of gold and silver, avoiding the ever‑twisting souvlaki of cryptocurrencies for the moment.
Bitcoin, ever the ambitious actor, tried a bold exit into the limelight this morning, only to have a stern usher step up at $91,000 and politely shut it down. Thus the coin left the stage looking slightly crestfallen.
Meanwhile, the political cast-Trump with his dramatic monologues and the European Union clutching a ceremonial baguette-waded into a verbal war over tariff threats and imagined bazookas aimed at Greenland, and their shouting only served to darken Bitcoin’s sunshine.
The once‑glorious protagonist dropped from just over $95,000 to a crisp, multi‑week low of $87,200, only to regroup with the hope of reaching the lofty $90,000 mark. It attempted another poetic exit hours later, only to have a parade of bears forcefully halt it at $91,200.
In a tragicomic turn, Bitcoin tipped its hat again, and nearly two grand slipped away in a blink of an eye, dragging many altcoins along the way. The aftermath left a staggering $300 million in liquidated dust-more than half of it evaporated in the last four hours, courtesy of the ever‑perfuming Coinglass data.
Across the gold‑rich lanes, the precious metal charted a glittering ascent: a peak at $4,970, a gentle rejection, and then a triumphant leap to a brand‑new all‑time high of $4,980. That gleaming figure is now merely a stone’s throw from the mythical $5,000, up a staggering 15% since the year’s beginning.
Silver, the silver‑backed sidekick, has also taken the stage lately. After a triple‑digit surge last year, it carries that momentum into 2026, leaping a whopping 42% in just a few weeks, and even managed to applaud beyond the $100 threshold hours ago.
The dazzling gains can, at least in part, be chalked up to the poor performance of the greenback, which, as Bloomberg reports, is looking to close its worst week against other currencies and asset classes since June. In other words, the dollar has taken a bruised knee in a very public bout of agility.
