BlackRock says Bitcoin’s safe-haven and debasement hedge narrative is back at the center of the market

Bitcoin has climbed back to the $80,000 level, and BlackRock’s head of digital assets, Robbie Mitchnick, said the market is once again focusing on the asset’s role as a safe haven and a hedge against currency debasement, according to BlockBeats. He said the latest move looks less tied to the Nasdaq and tech stocks than earlier phases and more like a macro repricing driven by rising concern over debt, deficits, and confidence in the U.S. dollar. Recent price action has moved in line with that view. Bitcoin rebounded quickly from the lower end of the $60,000 range and at one point rose above $81,000. Gold has also remained strong, while long-end U.S. Treasury yields and the sustainability of U.S. fiscal policy have become central market talking points. BlackRock said scarce assets such as Bitcoin and gold tend to attract allocation demand when debt, deficits, and currency debasement return to investors’ focus. Fund flows have also improved. Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded about $2.4 billion in net inflows in August, one of the strongest monthly readings of the year. At the same time, Bitcoin’s correlation with the Nasdaq has dropped noticeably, and some traders said its recent behavior has looked closer to gold.

Gate executive says crypto and stocks are converging as multi-asset investing expands

Gate’s head of stock market development, Lucas Sum, said in a Cointelegraph interview that crypto and equities are converging and increasingly behaving as one macro trade. He noted that crypto’s correlation with the Nasdaq has risen above its five-year average and briefly topped 0.8. Sum also pointed to continued growth in RWA and tokenized U.S. Treasuries, while saying Gate is expanding its stock offerings across U.S., Hong Kong and South Korean markets. In his view, investors are shifting from single-asset allocation toward multi-asset portfolios as chain-based financial infrastructure keeps expanding.

Gold rebounds after a 26% pullback as the article points to renewed central bank buying

MarsBit published a translated market analysis by 0xKyle arguing that gold has spent months building a bottom before breaking higher, with renewed central bank buying emerging as a key part of the setup. The piece says gold peaked at $5,300 in February 2026 and then fell 26%, a move the author links mainly to changes in Chinese liquidity, the Iran war, and a pause in central bank purchases. It adds that buying appears to have resumed after a quiet first quarter, while speculative fever has cooled as attention shifted toward semiconductor and momentum stocks. The article combines that macro view with a technical case. It says gold has reclaimed its 50-day moving average, broken a simple downtrend line, moved back above the 200-day EMA, and seen the 10 EMA cross above the 21 EMA. The author also highlights weekly RSI readings near oversold levels over several weeks and cites Macro Tourist’s observation that 1-year 25-delta call skew in gold is at its lowest level since before the pandemic. For trade levels, the piece identifies $4,341 to $4,191, around the daily 50 EMA, as a possible area for limit buy orders, while placing the broad invalidation level near $4,170 on a closing basis.

Gold rebounds after a 26% drawdown as central bank buying returns, article argues

A TechFlowPost article translated from author 0xKyle argues that gold has set up an asymmetric opportunity after a months-long pullback and renewed upside break. The piece says the metal peaked at $5,300 in February 2026 and then fell 26%, with traders spending months trying to identify a bottom. In the author’s view, the more important shift is that central banks have moved back into net buying after a quiet first quarter, while speculative excess has largely been flushed out. The article ties the correction to several factors, including Chinese liquidity conditions, the Iran war and a pause in central bank purchases. It also points to a March 2 peak in a chart tracking the year-over-year change in the People’s Bank of China’s net liquidity injections into China’s money market, smoothed by a 50-day moving average. Although daily reverse repos have recently picked up, the author says the clearer signal is that official-sector buying has resumed. On the technical side, the piece says gold has reclaimed its 50-day moving average, broken a descending trendline, moved back above the 200-day EMA and seen the 10-day EMA cross above the 21-day EMA. At the same time, the author warns that a (20/3) Bollinger Band setup has flashed a sell signal, suggesting a short-term pullback could come first. The zone between $4,341 and $4,191 is presented as an area to watch, with roughly $4,170 marked as the trade invalidation level.
