【ChainWen】Spot gold has just made history, breaking through $4700 per ounce for the first time.

What is behind this figure? In just a few weeks at the beginning of the year, gold has already increased by 8.8%, with a monthly cumulative gain of over $380. Against the backdrop of increasing economic uncertainty and rising market risk aversion, traditional safe-haven assets have become highly sought after.

Investors can all feel it—the soaring prices of precious metals often reflect market anxiety. When safe-haven assets like gold rise in succession, it indicates that the market is preparing for potential risks. This fluctuation in risk sentiment often also propagates to the crypto market, influencing investors’ asset allocation decisions.

Gold hits a new high again, and now traditional finance is starting to panic. It feels like the crypto world is about to shake up as well.

Has gold broken 4700? Alright, we're about to hear these folks start bearish on the economy again... But honestly, if traditional assets are running, how can the crypto market stay still?

Gold has broken 4700. Is this really the moment it's coming? It just feels like every time safe-haven assets surge, the crypto market is about to shake a little.
