Germany's industrial sector is facing challenges as recent data reveals a decline in output. According to Jin10, Ralph Solveen from Commerzbank reported that Germany's industrial production fell by 1.9% in December, indicating that the sector is unlikely to contribute to economic growth at the start of the year. Despite a significant increase in factory orders, which rose by 7.9% in December, this has not yet translated into higher actual output. Solveen noted that long-depressed sentiment indicators have not shown signs of a rapid rebound. However, the increase in orders, partly driven by strong demand from the German government, offers some hope for a recovery in production later this year. "Nevertheless, we still expect the recovery of the manufacturing sector and the overall German economy to be very moderate," Solveen added.

Analyst Jeremy Boulton has highlighted concerns over a sudden drop in gold prices, which could trigger a chain reaction affecting other metals. According to Jin10, this situation might lead investors to take profits or even sell off fundamentally strong assets to cover losses. The market currently holds significant unrealized gains, with the stock market remaining robust except for AI-related stocks. In the forex market, investors who engaged in carry trades with high-risk, high-yield currencies over the past year have also seen substantial profits. Despite the high risks associated with these bets, the returns have been considerable, similar to investments in the stock market and the euro. During the trade war, the euro appreciated significantly, reinforcing its perception as a safer alternative to global reserve currencies. As gold prices fell, the euro-dollar exchange rate also declined, prompting traders to take profits. Although the euro-dollar long positions are not as crowded as those in gold, signs of overbought conditions have emerged as it surpassed the 1.20 mark. Data from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange indicates that the $20 billion in bets on the euro's rise surpasses any other currency pair. As risk aversion increases, the previously sold-off dollar is being repurchased, providing traders with a reason to take profits.

Bitcoin and digital asset quantitative fund Capriole's founder, Charles Edwards, has indicated that bullish signals for Bitcoin are emerging. According to ChainCatcher, the Mayer Multiple for Bitcoin has rarely dropped to around 0.6. Although there is potential for further price declines, historical data suggests this range often represents one of the most attractive buying opportunities for Bitcoin. The Mayer Multiple is a technical indicator used to analyze Bitcoin market conditions, introduced by Trace Mayer. It assesses the market's relative valuation by comparing Bitcoin's current price to its 200-day moving average (200DMA). Historically, when the Mayer Multiple exceeds 2.4, it often signals an overheated market, potentially leading to a correction or bear market. Conversely, when the Mayer Multiple falls below 0.8, the market may be undervalued, presenting a favorable buying opportunity.
