Was trillions of crypto withdrawn due to gold?

Q: What actually happened to the cryptocurrency market between 2021 and 2022?

A:
The market capitalization of the cryptocurrency market dropped from nearly 3 trillion dollars at the end of 2021 to less than 1 trillion dollars at the end of 2022.
This means that more than 2 trillion dollars left the market during a relatively short period.

This decline is not debatable, but a documented figure in historical data.

Q: Did this money 'disappear'?

A:
In major markets, liquidity does not completely disappear.
Part of it is actually lost due to losses and liquidation, but another part moves to:

*Cash (Fiat)

*Lower risk assets

*Or other more stable markets

The real question is not whether liquidity has left?
But: Where did it move?

Q: What is the relationship between gold and all this?

A:
Gold is not just an investment asset, but:

*Hedge tool

*Financial system confidence index

*And a market driven by major institutions through futures contracts

*Major investment banks are key players in the gold market, and this is documented regulatively and legally.

Q: Why do gold positions need huge liquidity?

A:
Trading in gold futures, especially short positions, requires:

*Margin collateral

*Continuous liquidity

*Readiness to cover any sudden price movement

Any strong rise in gold may impose Margin Calls,
And here immediate liquidity becomes a top priority.

Q: What do institutions do when they need liquidity quickly?

A:
Historically, during liquidity pressure:

The 'best assets' are not sold

But the easiest to liquidate and highest risk assets

And often includes:

*Growth stocks

*Emerging markets

Digital currencies

This pattern has repeated in:

*2008 Crisis

*March 2020

*And hedge fund crises later

Q: Could digital currencies be a source of this liquidity?

A:
Yes, mechanically and practically.

Digital currencies:

*High liquidity

*Global

*No direct political restrictions on it

*And easy to liquidate compared to other assets

Therefore, it makes sense to be one of the first markets sold when cash is needed.

Q: Is there direct evidence that crypto funds went to gold?

A:
There is no direct official proof of a specific dollar moving from crypto to gold.

But:

There are historical precedents for selling high-risk assets to cover positions in other markets

And there is a clear temporal relationship between liquidity pressure and crypto selling

With relative stability in safe haven markets

This makes the hypothesis analytically logical, without asserting it as a fact.

Q: Is this considered 'pre-planned'?

A:
No.

This is called:
Liquidity and risk management at a macro level.

Major institutions:

*Managing massive portfolios

*Continuously reallocating assets

*And move to protect their larger positions first

This is legal, and inherently declared, but it is unforgiving to individuals.

Q: What does this mean for the individual trader?

A:
Means you are not just trading:

*Supply and demand

*Technical models

***Or real-time news

But is affected by:

*Risk management decisions

*Liquidity needs

*And institutional movements operate on a completely different level

Sometimes, the price does not move because 'the model broke'...
But because someone needed cash now.

Q: Is technical analysis alone sufficient?

A:
Technical analysis is useful, but not sufficient when:

Market movements are driven by liquidity factors

Not by traditional price factors

In these cases,
You see the wave...
While the hurricane is elsewhere.

In summary

Markets today are not isolated islands.
It is a single network of liquidity.

Who understands:

How liquidity moves

And why some assets are sold before others

And how major institutions think

Does not necessarily have the ability to control the market...
But at least understands what is happening in front of him.

Q: If Bitcoin today dropped to the 75-77 thousand range at the same time gold saw a sharp decline, does that indicate a wave of widespread liquidity liquidation, where everything that can be sold is sold to provide cash and cover margins, rather than a traditional scenario of fleeing to safe havens?

A: I leave the answer to you!
