On Monday morning, Bitcoin came under pressure again, falling below $93,000. The total liquidation within 24 hours reached $864 million — this has become somewhat of a norm.

Interestingly, on the other side, the scene is different: gold and silver are hitting new highs. One side is the volatility of crypto assets, while the other is the strength of safe-haven assets. Behind this divergence, it reflects the market's different interpretations of macro policy expectations. Some are seeking risk exposure in the crypto market, while others are looking for certainty in precious metals. Data speaks, but more importantly, understanding the logic behind these data — the market is always telling us through prices what kind of changes are happening in risk appetite.

btc capitulating while au/ag pump? classic inefficiency vector tbh... liquidation cascades are just protocol dynamics playing out, nothing new. the real alpha's watching the arbitrage surface between risk-off flows and onchain state transitions rn

Another 864 million has been lost. Where is my 93,000 stop-loss order?

864 million liquidation, I'm stunned, it's another classic Monday slaughter show When gold hits a new high, we're still being repeatedly educated by Bitcoin, the gap is really incredible The market is speaking, we're getting cut, that's the logic Rather than trying to understand macro expectations, it's better to ask yourself how many chips you still have left Risk appetite change? The most deeply felt is always the change in retail accounts In this wave of market, both long and short positions can be trapped, it's a bit outrageous

864 million liquidation, that number really makes your skin crawl Gold hits a new high while cryptocurrencies drop below 93k, the divergence is really intense It's that same risk preference theory again, not wrong to say but this wave really requires caution Following the trend into safe-haven assets, things are a bit uncertain on the crypto side Once 93,000 is broken, it's broken. Can it hold up afterwards?

It's Monday again and the market is crashing; 800 million in liquidations has long become numbingly normal. I just laugh when gold rises; this market is truly a tale of two extremes. Rather than looking at the data, it's better to see where the funds are flowing; understanding where the money is going makes it clear. Honestly, I can't quite tell if the risk appetite is changing or if it's just a matter of cutting leeks. The new high in precious metals versus Bitcoin breaking down—that kind of divergence is the most exciting. 800 million in liquidations can still be called normal; I really can't hold it together.

Damn, it dropped below 93 again. Can this liquidation wave just calm down? The new all-time high in gold is indeed interesting; it's really money moving in two directions. Everyone is betting on macro trends, just waiting to see whose prediction is right. When safe-haven assets take off, we're still going all-in. How long can this game last?
