The global financial markets experienced intense volatility tonight (19th). Around 9 PM Taiwan time (just before the US stock market opens), a massive sell-off pressure emerged, sweeping through both traditional precious metals and the cryptocurrency markets, showing a liquidity contraction characterized by “cash is king.”

Precious Metals Crash: Silver plunges over 10%

In the realm of traditional safe assets, precious metals saw dramatic fluctuations. Among them, silver was hit hardest, with spot silver prices crashing over 10% in a short period, approaching the critical psychological level of $67 per ounce.

Meanwhile, gold also couldn’t escape unscathed. Spot gold prices took a heavy hit, officially breaking below the $4,600 per ounce mark, indicating that even traditional funds are now massively withdrawing from safe-haven assets amid the current market climate.

Crypto Market Sells Off Simultaneously: BTC drops below $70,000

In the cryptocurrency sector, this macro-level selling pressure has also caused significant damage. Bitcoin (BTC) failed to hold support tonight, quickly falling below the $70,000 level, with intraday lows reaching $69,000, completely breaking the bullish defense line.

Ethereum (ETH), the second-largest market cap, also experienced a stunning decline, continuously oscillating downward and now approaching the $2,100 level. Market watchers are closely monitoring whether this wave of selling will intensify with the US stock market open. Investors should strictly manage leverage and position risks.
