Gold continues its record-breaking rally, climbing above $4,000, even as the U.S. dollar index posts gains, while Bitcoin recovers to around $122,750 following overnight lows near $121,000.

Despite a 1.3% drop for Bitcoin over the past 24 hours, the broader crypto market shows pockets of resilience. The CoinDesk 20 Index is down 3% at 4,229 points, while gold-backed tokens XAUT and PAXG trade higher, tracking spot gold gains. Among cryptocurrencies, BNB, CAKE, and HASH posted modest 24-hour gains.

Analysts attribute the price movements to profit-taking rather than panic. Singapore-based QCP Capital noted in a market update: “The signal hasn’t changed: fade USD strength, stay long gold and BTC on dips, and brace for data-gap volatility.”

The current environment reflects a continued appetite for safe-haven assets, with gold maintaining momentum despite broader market volatility, and Bitcoin showing short-term resilience as traders adjust positions.
