Hey there, and happy Friday!

This week’s focus shifts to the accelerating flight to safety across global markets. Gold’s explosive rally has left the dollar flat and Bitcoin trailing behind, as investors flock toward traditional hedges amid renewed geopolitical tensions and slowing economic momentum. The move reflects a broader shift in sentiment: risk appetite is fading, and stability is back in demand.

Here’s what we’ll cover today:

🌍 Market Recap & Macro Overview: Gold up nearly 60% YTD as geopolitical tensions fuel the biggest flight to safety in years. Treasury yields hit one-year lows, while risk assets remain fragile but stable.
📈 Bitcoin (BTC) Breakdown: BTC slips to $104K, retesting previous wick lows as ETF flows turn negative again. Key support sits at $102K with bearish structure still intact.
📊 Ethereum (ETH) Outlook: ETH loses key support at $3,728, with further downside risk toward $3,617. Mixed ETF flows highlight fading demand, but potential upside remains if sentiment improves.
🚀 Solana (SOL) Analysis: SOL rejects $206 and trades below $179, with next support at $168. Balanced liquidation clusters point to heightened volatility in both directions.
