Bitcoin price surpassed $81,000 as gold futures surged 3.4% to reach $4,061.10. CryptoSlate reported that a $378 million short squeeze fueled the rally, creating significant volatility in both asset classes.
The surge followed the US election results as investors sought protection against a weakening US dollar through the debasement trade. However, the massive liquidation of short positions has cast doubt on the sustainability of the move, despite gold recording its largest daily gain in three months.
