ETH transaction fees hit the lowest level since 2020: A warning for short-term decline?
While the cryptocurrency market is looking for growth momentum, Ethereum is sending negative signals in the short term. Transaction fees on the Ethereum network have just dropped to around $0.17 ā the lowest level since 2020.

Could the U.S. revalue gold to buy more Bitcoin? Positive signals for the long-term crypto market
The cryptocurrency market has just received another positive signal as Bo Hines ā CEO of Digital Assets in President Trump's campaign ā confirmed that his team is exploring various creative options to increase the amount of Bitcoin held in the national strategic reserve fund.

Bitcoin: The rising cycle is 'stepping stones across the river', but the long-term picture remains solid
As a trader, I often observe the correlation between 'safe haven' assets like gold and Bitcoin to identify long-term cash flow signals. Although Bitcoin has been under downward pressure since the beginning of 2025, looking at the whole past year, both Bitcoin and gold have recorded increases of about 35% ā indicating that long-term demand for inflation-resistant assets remains very strong.
š Gold leads ā Bitcoin follows
Historically, gold has often been the leading asset in shelter cycles, and Bitcoin ā although more volatile ā tends to rise after with a larger margin. Currently, that cycle is repeating, with gold reaching new highs and Bitcoin in the process of seeking a short-term bottom. If the old pattern repeats, a strong recovery may be forming with Bitcoin ā importantly, it's the timing of when the cash flow returns.
