Bitcoin held above $84,000 despite more than $600 million of fund outflows last week. Market reports tied its gain to easing energy risk, while gold rose about 0.2% to near $4,200 on continuing Middle East risk. The two assets are responding to opposite drivers, with bitcoin acting as a risk-on asset rather than a geopolitical hedge.
Gold rose 1.8% to about $4,183 while bitcoin slipped toward $82,800 after touching about $80,000 on Thursday as bonds and oil came under pressure. Bitcoin again sold off with duration and risk assets during a war and inflation stress point while the metal rallied.
