Gold extended its August rally to a three‑month high of $3,500 per ounce, while Bitcoin briefly surged above $80,000 for the first time since May, signaling a potential shift in risk appetite across both traditional and crypto markets.

The rally in gold is driven by a combination of a weakening U.S. dollar, falling Treasury yields, and renewed safe‑haven demand amid geopolitical tensions. The dollar index has slipped 1.8% in the past week, and the 10‑year Treasury yield dropped 15 basis points, creating a 0.6% yield spread expansion that traditionally fuels gold inflows. On‑chain data shows a 12% increase in Bitcoin’s daily on‑chain activity, with the number of active addresses hitting 1.2 million, up from 1.05 million last month.

Smart money is positioning for a continued uptrend. Institutional flows into gold ETFs rose 18% YoY, while Bitcoin’s on‑chain metrics—such as the ratio of new to old addresses—suggest a growing base of long‑term holders. #Gold #BTC #SafeHaven

The next key level for gold is the $3,600 resistance, a psychological barrier that, if broken, could propel the metal into a new 12‑month high. For Bitcoin, the 200‑day moving average sits at $78,500; a sustained break above this level could trigger a 30% rally toward $90,000. #BTC #GoldResistance
