COINOTAG News, December 24, cites crypto observer Garrett Jin—often referred to as “BTC OG Insider Whale”—stating that the recent rally in silver, palladium, and platinum has been driven by a short squeeze dynamic and may be difficult to sustain. He cautions that as these metals retreat, gold could follow lower, potentially sparking a reallocation from traditional precious metals toward digital assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Market participants should monitor liquidity flows as the metals complex wobbles, because a broad rotation into Bitcoin and Ethereum would reflect shifting risk sentiment rather than a fundamental shift in crypto value. The commentary aligns with ongoing demand for major cryptocurrencies amid macro uncertainty.
