The data for 2025 is really hard to understand. Gold surged by 70%, silver skyrocketed by 165%, and the US dollar actually fell by nearly 10%. But interestingly, this big rise in traditional assets did not follow through with Bitcoin's performance.

What does this mean? There is a clear divergence between traditional safe-haven assets and crypto assets. Classic hedging tools like gold and silver are soaring, the US dollar is depreciating, and Bitcoin's trend in this cycle seems to follow a different logic.

Some say 2026 will be even crazier—but the key is the direction of the madness. Will traditional finance continue its chaotic battle, or will the crypto market usher in a new cycle? This is a question all investors should consider. Market divergence is becoming more apparent, and the risk of single-asset allocation is also increasing.

Oh my god, silver has risen 165%? Why didn't I catch this train? Bitcoin's performance this time has been a bit disappointing; I feel like I should pay more attention to the logic of traditional assets. Such a clear divergence really calls for proper allocation; don't go all in on one thing anymore. Wait, is it true that the dollar has fallen 10%? The crazy trends in 2026 are really unpredictable; it seems like the wild rise of gold and silver is the real star of this year. Should I learn from those who trade gold... Bitcoin seems to be a bit slow.

Huh, didn't Bitcoin follow gold's crazy move this time? Feels a bit strange. Silver surged 165%, but BTC didn't move much. The logic is indeed a bit confusing. The divergence is so obvious; single coins really need to be cautious. This is outrageous. Traditional safe havens are celebrating, but the crypto world is still in hibernation. So, is the dollar collapsing or is gold starting to bottom fish again? I'm scared, I'm scared. Multi-chain allocation is the way to go. BTC: I'm not in a rush; I have my own logic. Whether 2026 will be crazy or not, it mainly depends on who runs first. Is this divergence an opportunity or a trap? Honestly, I don't quite understand.

Understanding it can be dangerous; the market is tempting you to exit --- Divergence itself is a signal; no one can win on both sides at the same time --- It's "2026 will be crazier" again... I've heard this more than once --- The logic of USD depreciation and gold rising has been around for years, but Bitcoin hasn't followed? Think about it carefully, it's terrifying --- Single assets are high risk; adding more just means paying tuition --- Traditional financial chaos and the new cycle in crypto, just pick one and don't be greedy --- When gold and silver soar, people always say it's an opportunity for Bitcoin, but what happens? History just loves to repeat itself and slap us in the face --- Market divergence is obvious; it sounds comforting, but actually no one knows what the next step is

Silver surges 165%, this data is outrageous, it feels like there are some variables at play --- Such a clear divergence... Could it be that it's finally the turn for a rebound in the crypto market? --- Dollar crashes, gold skyrockets, but Bitcoin remains unresponsive? This logic is indeed a bit strange --- What should I do about a single asset allocation? I'm really panicking right now --- So is 2026 going to be the big year for finance or for the crypto world? Who the heck can say for sure --- Gold and silver are soaring, but BTC remains silent... Something's not right --- This divergence either indicates an opportunity is coming or that the trap is even bigger --- Traditional assets are in chaos, but crypto hasn't kept up? Feels like there's a story behind it --- Looking at this data, it really feels like the calm before the storm --- 165%... Is silver risking death or sending us a signal?

This divergence is really quite extreme. Gold and silver are soaring wildly, but BTC is still dozing off. It feels like traditional finance is just self-indulging. Something's off. Silver up 165%—is this going to turn the world upside down? Why is there no reaction at all in the crypto circle? 2026... Honestly, no one can see through it, but with this kind of divergence, any sector could suddenly blow up. A single asset allocation is indeed risky, but diversifying means betting on different assets' logic... it's a bit uncomfortable. This slow-motion move in Bitcoin—are they gathering strength, or has it really been overtaken by traditional assets? I want to ask, how long can this wave of gold last? Or is it just another routine to trap the little guys? Does the sharp decline of the US dollar really benefit crypto? It feels like the logic might be reversed. It seems that the storylines of traditional safe havens and crypto have completely diverged, which is definitely worth pondering.
