Global financial markets experienced severe turbulence in the past 24 hours. Bitcoin, known as "digital gold," fell by 6% to a two-month low, breaking key support levels. Meanwhile, traditional safe-haven asset gold was not spared; after surging 3.3% early in the session to near record highs, it suddenly plunged, with an intraday amplitude exceeding 9%. Market analysis suggests that expectations of liquidity tightening and panic over a potential tech stock bubble burst led to indiscriminate selling. The simultaneous decline in cryptocurrencies and precious metals indicates investors are frantically liquidating assets to cope with potential systemic risks, sending market fear indices to extreme levels.
