Gold stabilizes after reaching a high, with two factors determining the next direction

Gold remains stable at high levels, reflecting the dual impact of Venezuela's tense situation and U.S. inflation data. Better-than-expected inflation data may reduce risk aversion while boosting the purchasing power protection logic in the crypto market. Meanwhile, geopolitical risks are driving up the volatility of risk assets.

【Crypto World】Gold remains stable near its all-time high, a signal that warrants the attention of crypto investors. Two forces are at play: one is the escalating tension in Venezuela, with geopolitical risks boosting demand for safe-haven assets; the other is the market waiting for the release of US inflation data.

This combination is quite interesting. Usually, gold and Bitcoin tend to move in the same direction under macro risks, especially when inflation expectations rise. If US inflation data comes in better than expected, it may ease the pressure for rate cuts, and risk aversion sentiment could cool down. If the data exceeds expectations, gold will continue to strengthen, and the long-term purchasing power protection logic of the crypto market will also be re-emphasized. Geopolitical uncertainties further push up the implied volatility of the entire risk asset market.

Wait, I need to look into this account... Gold and Bitcoin moving together? The fund flow behind this seems a bit suspicious. According to on-chain data, recent whale wallet activities are indeed abnormal. At that time, when the situation in Venezuela heated up, the pattern of safe-haven funds flowing in was too orderly, clearly not retail investor behavior. As for the inflation data trigger... I had guessed this a long time ago. The market has been waiting for this moment.

I'm relieved when gold stays high, and Bitcoin follows with gains. This wave of inflation data is really crucial.

Has gold stabilized? What about Bitcoin? Why is it still hesitating... This round of US inflation data is really crucial, and it feels like the entire market is betting on this move.

Gold stabilizes at high levels, and this wave of geopolitical risks is indeed worth paying attention to. Whether inflation data will save the day or if it will continue to fluctuate depends entirely on what happens over in the US. How long can Bitcoin keep rising along with gold? That is the real question.

Gold has stabilized, but if the inflation data isn't looking good this time, BTC will have to follow suit and plunge... Geopolitical risks are also adding fuel to the fire, and I really can't hold on much longer.
