**[Gold Breaks $4,000 to Hit a Record High, Bitcoin Sees Short-Term Pullback but Institutional Interest Remains Strong]** Gold prices have surpassed the $4,000 per ounce mark for the first time, setting a new all-time high. Meanwhile, Bitcoin experienced a short-term pullback after a recent 7.7% rally, primarily due to profit-taking. However, institutional investors' interest in Bitcoin remains robust, with U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs seeing net inflows of over $3 billion last week, pushing total net inflows past $60 billion. (XS.com) Market analyst Linh Tran stated that Bitcoin's fundamentals remain strong, and if the Federal Reserve signals a rate cut, Bitcoin is expected to gain new upward momentum in the fourth quarter.
