Bitcoin plunges while gold rises, destroying the crypto 'safe haven' narrative | Fortune

S&P 500 futures were down 0.19% after the index closed up 1.55% yesterday. Asia was mixed this morning and Europe followed by moving flat-to-down in early trading. Crypto may be suffering from a significant shift in sentiment: until October 6 this year, Bitcoin and gold had moved up together, though certainly not in tandem. However, both rose on a "safe haven" narrative as stocks soared, despite worries that the tech companies driving them are fuelling an AI bubble.

We got a result in three days but when you bat well you get rewarded and if you bowl well it's the same.
