Silver surged 170% in one year, and gold broke through the $4,500 mark, sparking heated discussions in the market these days. In comparison, Bitcoin hovers around $87,000, down 8% year-to-date — after hitting a high of $126,000 in October, it has turned downward, indicating that many are beginning to feel anxious.
Is the capital really shifting from Bitcoin to precious metals? The surface logic seems to make sense. Technical analysis also shows Bitcoin caught in a short-term downtrend, while gold and silver have become new gathering places for funds. But upon deeper reflection, things are not that simple.
How did this wave of precious metal行情 come about? Breaking it down makes it clear. First, there is the real demand from the industrial sector. Silver is not only a precious metal; it is indispensable in the photovoltaic industry and electronic components. Supply chain tensions and record-high industrial demand are not hype but solid industry support.
Second, there is a larger macro backdrop — the de-dollarization trend is accelerating. Global central banks have been continuously increasing their gold holdings to cope with US debt expansion and geopolitical uncertainties. It is predicted that by 2026, gold could rise another 8%-15%, and silver might even increase by 20%-35%.
Adding to this is the market’s growing anticipation of the Fed’s rate cuts in 2026. These factors stack up to form a complete logic for the rise of precious metals. Bitcoin’s silence is actually a buildup, and a real行情 is brewing.

Are precious metals really that hard, or is it just another cycle of hype and speculation?
BTC is the true long-term value; the recent surge in gold and silver is astonishing.
Bitcoin's momentum sounds good, but it feels like it's been hammered down.
Decoupling from the US dollar is indeed a logical argument.
Silver's industrial demand is real, but the rapid increase is quite unreasonable.
People always like to chase short-term gains and forget the fundamentals.
It feels like institutions are just harvesting profits, switching to a different track.
An 8%-15% increase in gold doesn't sound very attractive.
BTC's short-term weakness doesn't mean it will be permanently left behind; just weather this wave.
Precious metals rely on supply chains, while crypto relies on faith. Who wins or loses is still uncertain.

Gold and silver are soaring wildly, but BTC is actually losing money? Everyone says it's about accumulating strength, but who doesn't say that?
---
De-dollarization has long been a hot topic, so why is it only now gaining attention?
---
Industrial demand is real, but a 170% increase has probably already been overextended.
---
Wait, Bitcoin drops 8% and people get anxious? What's that? My last cycle was a direct halving.
---
The central bank is frantically accumulating gold. What does that mean? Is the US dollar really doomed?
---
Gold and other precious metals rising so sharply actually makes me more cautious. I have a feeling there might be a sell-off.
---
Gold expected to rise 8-15% in 2026? That's conservative, brother. I think doubling would be more normal.
---
Is the market brewing up a rally? Or are funds fleeing?
---
The expected increase of 20-35% in silver—where did this data come from? Feels like just hype.
---
So, should I buy the dip in Bitcoin or continue chasing precious metals? Just looking for some clarity.

Uh... I didn't dare to cut my position at the 120,000 high point, now I'm bleeding heavily.
---
The 170% gain in precious metals blew my mind; I wish I had gone all in on silver.
---
Wait, is Bitcoin really gathering strength? Or am I just comforting myself...
---
How to interpret on-chain data? Feels like big whales are accumulating.
---
Decentralizing from the US dollar sounds plausible, but I thought the same last time and ended up losing big.
---
No, why is everyone discussing the precious metals market, and no one cares about BTC anymore?
---
Bought in with 50,000 worth of BTC, now I feel there's no chance to turn things around.
---
Honestly, the 4-hour technical chart looks really bad. Should I cut my losses and follow the trend into precious metals?
---
Anyone who has experienced FOMO knows that this is when it's easiest to buy at the bottom.
---
Let's wait for the rate cut news to be confirmed. Investing in precious metals now feels a bit too late.
---
Distribution of holdings shows institutions are still quietly accumulating, maybe we still have a chance to turn the tide.
---
Another seemingly complete logic, but I bet it's just another story.

Gold and silver are taking off, but BTC is dropping the ball. This buy and sell really hits hard.
Wait, the surge in precious metals is so strong, is industry demand really that solid?
Powering up? Uh, we all know the outcome of powering up.
Is the de-dollarization thing really happening with the central banks playing seriously?
Is it still okay to enter the precious metals market now? Haha.
BTC dropped from 12.6 to 8.7. Should we buy the dip or run now?
Silver has increased by 20%, but I still haven't felt it. Where are my holdings?
I believe in industry demand, but can the speculative component be separated?
The rate cut expectation is back again. They said the same last year at this time.
Is it truly powering up or just a real drop? We'll know next year.

Wait a minute, gold and silver are rising so sharply. Is it really due to industrial demand or are they being cut again?
BTC is the king. This wave of precious metals feels a bit虚
If we follow this logic, how long will it take to de-dollarize? I can't wait in my wallet
Damn, silver is up 20-35%? Are these numbers serious, bro?
I believe in Bitcoin's buildup, but I trust my mindset even more
When precious metals are booming, BTC actually cools down. I've seen this trick before
Industry support sounds good, but will the market believe it?
Feels like another game of rotating to cut leeks
De-dollarization, de-dollarization. I just want to ask, when will it cycle back to the crypto world?
Gold rises 8%-15%? Compared to BTC, this speed is still too slow
