Gold and gold mining stocks are now very small compared to all global assets.
In the past, from 1921 to 1981, gold and gold miners made up about 24% of total global assets on average. But in 2025, their share has dropped sharply to only around 4%.
This means gold is far less owned today than it used to be.
For gold and gold miners to simply return to their old historical level, they would need to grow and perform about six times better than other global assets.
Because of this, the current gold bull market does not look crowded or overhyped. It does not look like the final stage of a rally.
Instead, these numbers suggest the gold cycle may still be early, with much more room to grow.
In simple terms: This move in gold may be the beginning, not the end.$XAU
For the first time since 2005, the Japanese yen and the Topix stock index are moving up together.
This is important because Japan usually works like this: • Yen down → stocks go up • Yen up → stocks go down
Now that pattern has broken.
In the last 12 months: • Yen rose about 1% vs the U.S. dollar • Japanese stocks jumped about 38%
Both rising at the same time is rare and often signals a major long-term shift, not just a normal trade.
In the past, this happened before big bull markets in several countries. When the currency and stocks rise together, it means global money is flowing into that market.

The purple line shows how much gold China has been buying.
When the purple line goes up, it means China is increasing its gold purchases. When it goes down, it means China is buying less gold.
The red line shows how many U.S. government bonds (U.S. Treasury securities) China owns.
If the red line goes down, it means China is selling U.S. Treasuries or holding fewer of them. If it goes up, it means China is buying more or keeping more of them.
In simple terms: • Purple line = China buying gold • Red line = China holding U.S. government debt
So if you see the purple line rising while the red line is falling, it means China is buying more gold and reducing its U.S. bond holdings. $XAU

It is interesting to see how oil prices keep holding steady at these levels, almost as if strong support is forming.
If energy prices begin to rise more broadly, this could turn into one of the biggest market themes of the year, in my opinion.
Compared with other major commodities, the energy sector still looks quite undervalued in today’s market, which means there may be room for prices to move higher if demand and momentum continue to improve. $XAU $BTC
ALT/BTC is showing a very strong breakout signal right now.
For the first time in about 5.8 years, the MACD indicator has stayed green for two full months in a row, and it has also made a bullish crossover, which is usually seen as a positive sign.
This is important because signals like this do not happen often, and in the past they have sometimes come before big moves in altcoins.
If the month of February finishes in green, it could confirm that momentum is turning upward.
That would increase the chances of seeing a strong altcoin rally over the next few months, as money may start flowing from Bitcoin into alternative cryptocurrencies.
Because of this setup, the coming weeks could be very important for the direction of the crypto market, and traders will be watching closely to see whether this breakout continues or fails. $BTC
