Starting from the beginning of January, the trend of international spot silver prices first slowly rose in an escalator-like manner, and then from last Friday accelerated in a free fall like a free fall. Although spot gold did not fluctuate as much as silver, the trend was similar, also quickly falling after reaching a high point. Analysts pointed out regarding the trend of silver that in the past week or so, the market trading of silver has entered a state similar to "meme stocks". The so-called "meme stocks" refers to the market trend being driven more by market sentiment, social media discussions, and chasing of funds, rather than fundamental changes. George Harper, Vice President of Bulk Commodities Research at the Bank of Montreal Capital Markets in Canada, said: We believe that the silver market is likely to gradually "ebb" next and return to a state of oversupply of physical supply. Silver may be driven to some extent by the rise in gold in the future, but overall, we believe that the performance of silver will most likely remain weaker than gold.

According to Bloomberg, the core issue of this "slow" selloff of Bitcoin is that the investors who were originally expected to become the most stable buying group did not continue to enter the market. Glassnode data shows that investors who entered the market through the US Bitcoin ETF had an average buying cost of about $84,100. Currently, with Bitcoin hovering around $78,500, this group is experiencing roughly a 8%-9% paper loss. This is not the first time ETF investors have been in a floating loss. Analysts pointed out back in November last year when Bitcoin briefly fell below $89,600 (which was the average cost range for ETF investors at the time) that this would be a key test of the "belief intensity" of the new mainstream investors. Since then, with the inflow of funds in early 2024 remaining profitable, the overall average cost of ETF has decreased, but later investors entering the market have all suffered losses. From the peak, Bitcoin has fallen by more than 35% since the high in 2025 and briefly fell below $77,000 in a low-liquidity trading environment over the weekend. Analysts believe this is a result of multiple factors: drying up of funds, decreased market liquidity, and overall weakening macro attractiveness. Bitcoin has failed to respond to traditional bullish factors such as the weakening US dollar or geopolitical risks, and its "decoupling" from other assets has made its trend increasingly directionless. The biggest difference between the sharp drop in October and the current downturn now is the market sentiment: there is no panic, only "absence". The market frenzy that pushed Bitcoin above $125,000 in 2025 came from the highly enthusiastic expectations of regulation, institutional entry, and bullish retail base formation. However, after the liquidation of billions of dollars in leveraged positions in October, those buyers who once drove the market have chosen to stand still and watch from the sidelines.
