Bitcoin (BTC) has staged a strong recovery, rising above $113,000 after falling to as low as $107,000 during the day. The leading cryptocurrency, which gained 5% on the day, staged a remarkable rally overshadowed by sharp declines in gold and silver.
The price of gold fell 5% today to $4,130, its steepest daily loss in recent years. Silver also saw a drop of up to 8%. Despite central bank measures toward quantitative easing, US-China trade tensions, and liquidity stress in the financial system, precious metals had experienced a significant rally in recent months. However, these developments failed to provide the crypto market with the long-awaited momentum. This rise is believed to be a “catch-up” to gold’s previous rallies.
