Trump made a remark on social platforms this morning saying that "those who own gold set rules". Spot gold may be affected by its remarks and continued to rise after opening today, breaking through $3,380/ounce for the first time. New York gold futures were $3,375.9/ounce. The prices of jewelry and gold from many gold jewelry brands also rose, approaching 1,040 yuan/gram. At the same time, in the field of crypto assets, TreasureDAO officially transformed into the AI agent companion track after announcing the end of game operations and Treasure Chain a few days ago. It will integrate with the SMOL series in the early stage, and its ecological token MAGIC rose more than 2 times on the weekend.
The price of Bitcoin has fluctuated in the range of $83,000 to $86,000 recently, and both bulls and bears have failed to fully control the market trend. Although Bitcoin has maintained the support level of $83,000, the bulls have not yet recovered the key moving average. Failure to maintain this level may trigger a new round of selling, and even push the price below $80,000. Greeks.live macro researcher Adam pointed out that the key BTC price is in the US$66,000-67,000, and many traders believe that this area is a concentrated area of short order stop loss. 21Shares and economist Timothy Peterson both predict that Bitcoin price is expected to reach around $138,000 by the end of 2025, while Robert Kiyosaki, author of "Rich Dad Poor Dad", believes that Bitcoin will reach $180,000-200,000 in 2025. At the same time, Swiss bank Sygnum pointed out that with the improvement of digital asset supervision and increased user participation, altcoins are expected to rebound in the second quarter of 2025. Macroeconomician Lyn Alden, who is relatively cautious, lowered the Bitcoin forecast price, expecting the Bitcoin price to be above $85,000 in 2025, and believes that "massive liquidity unlocking" may be the catalyst needed by Bitcoin.
Schwab Financial New CEO Rick Wurster revealed that the company plans to launch a direct spot cryptocurrency trading service within the next 12 months. He said that as the regulatory environment continues to improve, cryptocurrency trading services will become the "inevitable choice" for every large brokerage firm. According to statistics, 9 altcoins and 4 Meme tokens have submitted spot ETF applications, among which SOL and XRP are the most popular, with 6 and 10 institutions applying respectively. Among the altcoins that have submitted spot ETF applications, SOL, XRP, LTC, ADA and SUI are called "U.S. coins", while AVAX, APT, MOVE and TRX belong to WLFI's portfolio.
On the macro side, the US dollar index fell below the 99 mark, the first time since April 2022, and fell 0.57% intraday. Tony Pasquariello, head of Goldman Sachs hedge fund business, analyzed in his latest report that global capital flows are becoming the focus of market attention and gave three logics that the US dollar will fall sharply: the US dollar is overvalued by about 20%; the US "exceptionalism" is threatened by tariff policies, and tariffs will put huge pressure on US corporate profits and household purchasing power; the current situation is more like Brexit than the first trade war, and it is the confrontation between the United States and the world, making the foreign exchange market the focus. Goldman Sachs also pointed out that the unheld US dollar over-allocation amount in the United States after the global financial crisis reached US$2.2 trillion. These over-allocations will take time to lift. Currently, mainly euro zone investors are selling US stocks, while other regions are still steadily purchasing US assets.
