For crypto traders, this pattern reinforces the importance of monitoring traditional markets such as gold, especially during weekends when crypto market liquidity drops and price swings intensify. The correlation suggests that gold may act as a hedge against altcoin downturns, offering potential trading strategies for those looking to diversify or protect their positions during crypto sell-offs.
