## Prediction

Over 30 days, the combined shock of the Bitcoin crash below $20k and elevated geopolitical risk will likely drive a gradual, structural rotation by risk-averse investors into gold and US Treasuries. As leveraged crypto positions are unwound and high-beta assets underperform, institutional portfolios will reweight toward traditional safe havens, supporting higher gold prices and lower medium-term US yields despite near-term volatility. This shift will modestly raise borrowing costs for riskier sovereigns and corporates while rewarding defensive allocations in developed markets. Confirmation would be sustained gold inflows, ETF buildup, and strong demand in Treasury auctions; denial would be a rapid, durable crypto rebound with risk assets fully recovering.

## Drivers

- Warning of Bitcoin’s sharp fall and risk-off contagion potential
- Persistent US–Iran and Russia–Ukraine conflict risks
- Historical pattern of gold and Treasuries benefitting from geopolitical and market stress
- Institutional risk management practices following large drawdowns
