GOLD DROPS THROUGH 1800 WITH EASE, 1700 IN SIGHT

Gold has dropped rather aggressively since breaking below the 1800 level last week. A combination of rising interest rate expectations and worsening economic data across the board has laid the foundation for golds sharp decline.

The precious metal continues the downtrend this morning after Chinese GDP printed at a meager 0.4% for the lockdown impacted Q2, down from a forecasted 1%. This has knock-on effects as China and the US have now revealed traces of economic fragility, adding to recession fears. First quarter US GDP declined by 1.6%, declining consumer sentiment and the latest rendition of the yield curve inversion (US10Y – US02Y) have added to recession concerns.

It is also worth noting that gold, often regarded as an inflation hedge, has not been rising in line with surging inflation. This is because gold’s status as an inflation hedge tends to hold up better over the long run while shorter-term influences like the state of the economy and interest rate developments continuing to influence the direction of the yellow metal for now.

    • Bitcoin has reached an unprecedented $104,000, marking a significant moment in its history. The surge is attributed to institutional adoption, such as BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF success, positive geopolitical developments, and the deflationary effects of Bitcoin's halving cycle. These factors underscore Bitcoin’s growing importance as a global store of value and financial tool.   Fractal Bitcoin complements this growth by expanding Bitcoin’s scalability while adhering to its core principles of decentralization and transparency. The bullish momentum of its FB token, backed by it's active community got the project to be bullish, and since after it's listing the price of FB in the market has been performing extremely well, and most investors in the community are using their DCA strategy to ape more tokens.   FB is trading on bingx spot market, coupled by an ongoing carnival event that will be shared among traders that consists of 1,666 tokens for the community bullish and have decided to get their hands on some free tokens.

    • With Bitcoin finally surpassing the much awaited $100k hallmark, all indication points to the much-awaited bull-run. I attended an X space recently and one of the speakers highlighted that the bull-run has already started when Bitcoin surpassed it previous ATH. He noted that is normal for many people not to notice it since Eth is yet to reclaim Ath but with the like of Sol, BNB, BGB and setting a new all-time high show make it clearer. He highlights that the most surprising token was BGB, which rose from $0.5 to $2.7 and still showing signs of hitting $5. He made few assumptions that made the token achieve that hallmark before swiftly making some bold predictions that once Eth reclaim ATH then we should expect much volatility in the industry . One of the speaker claimed that the bull cycle is always short while the bear cycle is mostly longer. He said that Bitcoin normally set an all time high after swearing in of new US presidential candidate and he predicted that with the new president full support for Crypto we might see the longest bear market in the history. I have seen a lot of predictions that the mother token could hit over $200k in 2025 but what factors could push this.
