Odaily Planet Daily News: Bitfinex released its latest market research report, pointing out that Bitcoin has shown remarkable resilience in one of the most turbulent periods of macroeconomic-driven uncertainty in recent years. Although Bitcoin prices are down 32% from their January highs, they remain in line with historical levels of mid-term bull market corrections and have outperformed most traditional risk assets.
The rally in Bitcoin comes in sync with gold’s rise to a record high above $3,300 an ounce, further bolstering the growing view that Bitcoin is evolving into a digital macro hedge. Against the backdrop of deglobalization, trade conflicts and capital flight from volatile stock markets, both assets are increasingly seen as globally neutral stores of value. Recent price action further supports this view: since April 2 (also known as “Liberation Day”), Bitcoin has behaved more like gold than stocks, showing strong rebound momentum and breaking out of its lows as the overall market continues to struggle with tightening liquidity and policy uncertainty.
