Summary
Gold has fallen below its 200-day moving average for the first time since October 2023, signaling a potential long-term trend reversal and bear market territory. The precious metal declined from nearly $2,000 to below $4,300 per ounce after a massive 200% rally. A stronger U.S. dollar and rising rate expectations are pressuring risk assets, which could potentially benefit bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as investors rotate out of gold.
