When will this wave of gold price increases finally come to an end? Instead of guessing blindly, it’s better to review the historical records. Over the past 50 years, gold has experienced five major crashes, each driven by different market logic.
**First: September 1980 to June 1982**
In less than two years, the price of gold fell by 58.2%. At that time, central banks around the world were raising interest rates aggressively to combat inflation, which led to a decline in gold demand. Coupled with the gradual easing of the oil crisis, risk aversion also diminished, making a decline inevitable

History is one of those things that looks exciting, but when you actually experience it, it's easy to fall into a trap.

---

Wait, so should we run now or hold on tight? That logic sounds like driving with a rearview mirror.

---

Interest rates, cycles, hedging, capital flows... all are correct when explained separately, but at critical moments, which one is the decisive factor?

---

Five factors caused five crashes, now it's about interest rates and rate hike expectations... how much longer can gold hold up this time?

---

Sounds great, but tell me how to find the rhythm between historical patterns and reality? Isn't it still a gamble?

---

A 58% drop in 1980? Oh my, how many people got margin called... people today are really lucky.

---

Capital flow is the hardest to predict, who knows when big players will suddenly change their minds.

---

Looking at history is like analyzing candlestick charts, it's fascinating but not very practical.

---

Will you come again next time? I just want to know whether next time is next year or ten years from now.

Bitcoin continues to weaken relative to precious metals, while silver defies the trend and rises, drawing attention

【Blockchain Rhythm】In the past week, the precious metals market has performed remarkably well, with gold and silver both rallying, while Bitcoin has been consolidating sideways. Data shows that by the end of the week, the Bitcoin-to-silver ratio had fallen to 1104, hitting a new low since September 2023. It’s worth noting that since May alone, this ratio has been halved—down by as much as 67%, which clearly indicates the strength of silver.
The situation with gold is similar. The Bitcoin-to-gold ratio is now only 19, also hitting a low since November 2023, and has plummeted 50% compared to January. This means the "cost" of exchanging Bitcoin for gold is increasing month by month, and precious metals are once again attracting capital.
Looking back to the lowest point of the 2022 bear market, the Bitcoin-to-silver and Bitcoin-to-gold ratios were only 680 and 9, respectively. Comparing these to today’s 1104 and 19, we see an interesting phenomenon—although Bitcoin last year...

European natural gas is riding an upward momentum as a brutal cold snap sweeps across the continent, ramping up heating demand to levels not seen in weeks. Frigid temperatures are forcing utilities and households to draw heavily on reserves, which is pushing prices north across both spot and futures markets.
Here's the thing—this kind of energy price spike doesn't just impact your heating bill. When traditional energy becomes expensive, it ripples through the broader economy. Institutions start reassessing asset allocation, central banks watch inflation closely, and risk appetite shifts. All o

Is this the same old story? Energy prices rise → BTC rises, I'm tired of hearing this logic haha

When it gets cold, you should stock up on gas futures. Why does it have to be linked to cryptocurrencies?

Europe's cold snap is indeed fierce, but honestly, the crypto circle relying on this to turn around is a bit of a stretch.

The idea of capital rotation sounds sophisticated, but in reality, it's just institutions dumping assets.

Wait... does this mean now is the time to buy the dip in BTC?

Whether it's cold or not has nothing to do with my holdings; if it drops, it drops.

Are macro traders shifting their focus to alternative assets? Haha, just this statement alone makes me want to buy some.

Weather forecasts can even produce cycle theories, that's a bit much.

When it's scorching hot, no one says cheap energy is good for crypto. But in cold weather, they use this argument—double standards like this.

The real situation is: Cold weather → electricity prices rise → losing money → despair → buying coins to turn things around.

Since last night until now, there are two issues. Once again, a friendly reminder: the orders I provide are not given randomly. They are based on careful observation of various data. I don’t give orders whenever I want; I usually won’t issue an order if the timing isn’t right. That’s why sometimes, right after I give an order, the market fluctuates within a few minutes. So, as long as the order is near the level I provide, you can enter. Take profit and stop loss are not that far apart; if you don’t enter, you’ll miss the market opportunity. The second issue is that I personally use certain ex

Don't Let Expectations Hijack You
There's an interesting logic: if you set expectations for everything you do, you might end up stagnating. This statement comes from Boris Cherny, head of AI programming tool Claude Code.
He shared the growth story of Claude Code — initially, it was just a side project for the Claude team, and no one took it seriously. Because there were no high expectations, the team was freer to explore, which ultimately led to unexpected gains.
This is very much like the paradox of innovation: the more you hold onto the idea of "must succeed," the more you are bound by that

Is BNB still worth investing in? I want to be honest: this asset has never been a tool for "gambling," but rather something that needs to be "nurtured" over the long term.
I have a friend who has been regularly dollar-cost averaging into BNB since 2022. Initially, he was also scared by the price fluctuations and couldn’t sleep well, constantly watching the chart and feeling anxious. But time teaches us things—he gradually realized that the true benefit of dollar-cost averaging isn’t about perfectly catching the bottom, but about sticking to it. Now, because of this persistence, his returns hav

Dollar-cost averaging is really the ultimate test of human nature; it's easy to say but hard to stick to...

I just want to ask, will 200U really come? Feels like I'm dreaming

---

Patience is the most valuable thing in the crypto world

---

My friend's story sounds great, but I still want to know if he's just lucky or if he really stuck with it

---

Staircase adding positions sounds good, but I'm worried the coin price might drop even more halfway through

---

You also need to plan your exit points; just dollar-cost averaging without knowing when to withdraw is quite a hassle

---

Instead of studying EMA, better ask yourself if you can truly hold for a year

---

This logic makes sense, but the problem is most people can't keep going after the third month

Looks pretty reliable, but I still think moderate diversification is more prudent than all-in on BNB

Pengu's Quiet Rally Amid Market Pullback
While the broader market retreats, PENGU is carving out its own momentum—up 2.47% over 24 hours and showing real staying power. The Vegas Sphere exposure has done serious heavy lifting for brand recognition, pushing the token into fresh visibility windows.
What's more telling is the resilience in NFT demand across the ecosystem. This isn't just hype noise; demand is legitimately holding ground.
On the technicals, price is consolidating right above key support, which typically signals accumulation phase. The setup looks clean:
**Support zone**: $0.0085–$

Pengu is really quietly making big profits this time. While the market is falling, it’s still quietly rising... Vegas’s marketing campaign was indeed excellent.

NFT demand really hasn’t died. Everyone says it’s collapsing, but it’s still accumulating? I’ve seen this script before.

The support zone has such limited space; be careful not to break below it.

Wait until it breaks through 0.0109 before making any decisions. It’s still too early to draw conclusions.

With Vegas Sphere backing it up, it feels like Pengu’s underlying logic is quite solid.

The moment it breaks down, you’ll regret not getting in earlier, or be extremely glad you didn’t buy in.

Pengu is the kind of project that’s easy to overlook... but then it surprises you.

Looking at the technical chart, this buildup looks quite interesting.

Honestly, if you didn’t catch this rebound, it’s really painful to look at the chart now.

Regarding Japan's interest rate hike, many in the market are worried that this could trigger a chain reaction of global arbitrage risks. But the reality is far more complex than imagined.
Ask yourself, can Japan really raise interest rates to the level of the US? The answer is almost impossible. Why? Just look at this set of data: Japan's debt-to-GDP ratio is as high as 260%. What does this mean—if the Japanese people do not eat, drink, live, or consume, and use the entire year's GDP to pay off debt, it would take a full two and a half years to clear it.

Recently, the surge in SOL chain has been quite eye-catching, and the underlying logic is actually not difficult to understand. The influx of emerging high-risk projects into the SOL ecosystem quickly attracts capital, which in turn drives up the token value of the entire chain.
From several perspectives: First is the cost advantage. Solana's transaction fees are far lower than Ethereum's, making developers willing to deploy applications here, and users also prefer to interact on this platform, forming a positive feedback loop.

Japan's TOPIX index has shown interesting dividend yield progression over the past decade. Starting at 1.46% in 2015, the yield climbed to 2.04% by 2019, dipped during the pandemic years, then recovered to around 2.3% in 2022-2023 before settling at 2.18% currently. The trend suggests the market may be fairly valued on a dividend basis—that's the bullish take anyway. But here's the catch: this entire thesis hinges on yen weakness persisting. A stronger yen would reshape the valuation picture entirely, making Japanese equities less attractive for international investors and potentially compress

Recently, I have been paying attention to some developments of the ASTER project. Through a regular buyback and burn mechanism, the token supply is gradually decreasing, and this deflationary logic theoretically supports the value. From market reactions, the project's attention is indeed increasing, and there is still an early participation window, but it probably won't last too long.
Specifically: how often the buyback and burn are executed, the proportion of the burn scale to the total supply, and the source of the funds behind it—these details determine the sustainability of the mechanism.

The concept of buyback and burn has been heard too often; the key is whether the source of funds is reliable.

$154 billion wiped out through liquidations across the year—that's a staggering figure. From January through December, the cascading liquidations reshaped positions across spot and derivatives markets. Whether it's long overleverage getting flushed during downturns or shorts getting squeezed on sudden rallies, the liquidation engine never sleeps. Massive respect to everyone documenting these on-chain metrics throughout the year. The data tells the real story behind price moves.

Why has SOL been so resistant to declines recently, and why does it rebound first every time the market fluctuates? A careful observation reveals that it’s still due to the continuous activity of the on-chain ecosystem.
The hottest project on the SOL chain recently is WhiteWhale. This project’s surge is outrageous—not only a 300x increase, but in just the past two days, it has skyrocketed over 30 times. Although projects like this carry high risks, they indeed attract a large amount of capital continuously flowing in.
