While equity and bond markets showed resilience amid escalating tensions between the Trump administration and the Federal Reserve over monetary policy direction, precious metals and cryptocurrencies staged a notable rally.

The divergence highlights investor sentiment shifting toward alternative assets amid policy uncertainty. Gold surged as traditional hedges gained favor, while Bitcoin and the broader crypto market capitalized on concerns over currency stability and expansionary fiscal pressures. Digital assets continue demonstrating their role as uncorrelated stores of value during periods of macroeconomic friction and institutional policy disagreements.

Wait, is this market movement really caused by the Fed and Trump's big show?

Here we go again. Did this round of policy tug-of-war make the crypto circle profit again? Something's not right. Why am I still losing... Looking at on-chain data, those building positions are all making gains. My reaction speed isn't good enough haha

Damn, I finally waited for this wave. I said early on that excessive currency issuance is a bullish signal, right? I was already fully invested. Now it's just about holding steady and waiting to break even.

Bitcoin is causing trouble again. Every time policies clash, it goes up. I'm so tired of this routine.

The Federal Reserve and Trump are at odds, but it ended up benefiting us holders of the coin.

Here we go again, "uncorrelated stores of value"... Data shows that assets described this way in the last cycle had a peak correlation of 0.89 with the stock market, interesting.

The Federal Reserve is clashing with Trump, and the crypto world is excited again? I'm tired of this routine.

Here we go again with this? Stocks and bonds resist pressure, gold and Bitcoin take off—how many times has this script been played out?

Honestly, it looks like just another round of "policy conflicts and asset rotation" old tricks... but this time, BTC's performance truly deserves the title of "digital age safe haven asset." From the supply and demand curve, the feud between the Federal Reserve and Trump actually provided the perfect narrative for cryptocurrencies—who asked traditional financial systems to fight among themselves [dog head]. This wave of market movement is just a reappearance of Schrödinger's bull market. Let's wait and see how it unfolds next.
