According to Balaji (@balajis), in 2011, following the financial crisis, the public sentiment was strongly bullish on gold while being bearish on real estate. This shift was influenced by the Federal Reserve's large-scale purchases of mortgage-backed securities, which temporarily restored confidence in real estate markets despite prior risks. Simultaneously, billions of dollars began flowing into digital gold, particularly Bitcoin (BTC), signaling a growing investor preference for decentralized assets as a hedge against traditional market volatility (Source: @balajis on Twitter, June 21, 2025). This historical perspective highlights how major policy interventions can redirect capital flows, impacting both real estate and cryptocurrency markets, and remains relevant for traders monitoring macroeconomic policy and digital asset trends.

According to Santiment (@santimentfeed), the S&P 500 index is trading at $5,953.57, within close range of its all-time high of $6,147.43 set on February 19, 2025. This comes after a 90-day tariff pause between the U.S. and China implemented on Monday, which has contributed to market stability. Crypto markets remain somewhat correlated with equities, suggesting that continued strength in stocks could bolster bullish momentum for major cryptocurrencies. Traders should monitor both markets closely, as macroeconomic policy shifts like this tariff pause may drive synchronized price action in both equities and digital assets (Source: Santiment, May 16, 2025).
