Crypto and Metals Slump as Middle East Tensions Escalate
BTC and XAU/USD are correcting lower in value after recent peaks. Bitcoin is trading near $78,000, while Gold has dropped below $4,400.
The largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization holds above major moving averages, suggesting a broader bullish outlook despite the pullback from last week's peak of $82,300.
Gold also remains above key moving averages, which are helping to offset headwinds. However, momentum indicators are deteriorating for both assets.
