Overview

A fresh macro-crypto split dominated the day’s market read: gold pushed to new records while bitcoin struggled to keep pace, even as it rebounded from a one-month low. Coverage framed the move as risk-off behavior lifting precious metals, with crypto showing signs of near-term stress and softer participation signals.
