Market Moment: Gold Hits Historic High, Sucking BTC, Tariffs and Non-Farm Data as Market Focus This Week

1. Market Observation

Keywords: BNB, ETH, BTC

Bitcoin seems to be getting drained by gold, with spot gold breaking through $3100/ounce this morning, setting a new historical high. Goldman Sachs predicts it could reach $3300 by the end of the year. In contrast, Bitcoin closed down last week and is currently fluctuating around $82,000. Economist Peter Schiff warns that if gold rises to $5000, Bitcoin could drop 95% from its 2021 peak, falling to $10,000. Additionally, on-chain activity over the weekend was relatively quiet, with BNB chain's popularity gradually fading. Despite SOL's nearly 60% pullback from its historical high, trader Eugen is still building long positions at $125, believing that the sharp fluctuations between $88,000 and $82,000 provide a good risk-reward ratio.

Market data shows that since 2025, the total market capitalization of the cryptocurrency sector has shrunk by $610 billion, with about 800 dormant Bitcoins recently transferred, valued at $674 million, heightening market concerns. Bloomberg strategist Mike McGlone states that if Bitcoin cannot regain stable growth, altcoins may face larger sell-offs, and ETH could even drop to $1000 later this year. However, not everyone shares a pessimistic view. Elliot Chun, a partner at Architect Partners, predicts that by 2030, 25% of S&P 500 companies will include Bitcoin on their balance sheets. Currently, publicly traded companies hold a total of 665,618 Bitcoins, accounting for 3.17% of the total supply, with MicroStrategy dominating with 506,137 Bitcoins. Meanwhile, Zhu Su has observed in Hong Kong that some family offices are closely watching Michael Saylor's strategy and considering adopting a similar Bitcoin reserve model.

Furthermore, the regulatory environment continues to improve, with several positive factors emerging. Crypto-friendly Paul Atkins is set to become the SEC chairman, which may facilitate the unlocking of Ethereum ETF staking and lead to more digital asset ETFs being approved. Additionally, U.S. strategic Bitcoin reserve legislation is expected to be introduced in May, potentially positioning Bitcoin alongside gold as a sovereign-level asset. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority is also developing a regulatory framework for stablecoins, with related bills entering the legislative council for review. Meanwhile, Panama has announced a draft cryptocurrency bill that plans to recognize digital assets as legal payment tools. The U.S. FDIC has rescinded the policy requiring banks to obtain prior approval for providing crypto services, clearing obstacles for traditional financial institutions to enter the crypto market.

However, the macro environment remains full of uncertainties, and the market is facing multiple tests. Capital Flows analysis suggests that for Bitcoin to break through $100,000, macro liquidity needs to undergo sustained changes; otherwise, if the stock market declines, Bitcoin could pull back to the $72,000-$75,000 range. The market generally believes that amid escalating global trade frictions and rising uncertainties, gold's safe-haven appeal continues to strengthen. Bank of America analysts point out that the current market is experiencing five major disruptive changes, including the end of the U.S. "big government" era, the transformation of tech stocks, EU fiscal stimulus, the end of deflation in Japan, and the recovery of Chinese consumption, all of which will profoundly impact market direction. Additionally, the tariff adjustments on April 2 and the non-farm data on April 4 are expected to be key variables for short-term market trends.
