Crypto Carnage Continues Even as Gold, Bonds Surge on Soft U.S. Jobs Data

Crypto markets keep getting hammered—no mercy even as traditional safe havens rally. Here's why traders are fleeing digital assets for shiny rocks and government IOUs.

The Great Divergence

Bitcoin and altcoins keep printing red while gold hits record highs. Bonds—yes, bonds—are suddenly sexy again. All thanks to that disappointing jobs number that Wall Street 'analysts' somehow didn't see coming.

Flight to 'Safety'

Investors are dumping crypto faster than a hot NFT project. Meanwhile, gold's up 5% this week—because nothing says 'modern portfolio' like a 5,000-year-old store of value. The 10-year Treasury yield plunged 15 basis points in 24 hours. Guess those 'barbarous relic' truthers got quiet real quick.

Silver Linings Playbook

This might just be the flushout crypto needs. Remember—institutional money loves buying when retail panics. The Fed's likely to cut rates sooner rather than later, and that liquidity has to go somewhere. Just maybe not today.

Funny how 'uncorrelated assets' all correlate downward when traders actually need diversification. But hey—at least the crypto bros can now mine for gold in Minecraft while they wait for the rebound.
