Amillex Daily Market Commentary | Safe Havens Take the Lead as Gold Hits New Highs and Bitcoin Suffers a Sharp Pullback

January 21, 2026 — As trade conflict risks linked to the Greenland issue spill rapidly across markets, global risk-off sentiment intensified again during the Asian session this morning. Spot gold extended yesterday’s strong momentum, setting a fresh all-time high at $4,780/oz on Tuesday and currently holding firmly above $4,760, with bulls gathering strength for a renewed push toward the $4,800 psychological level. In contrast, fading risk appetite has sent a chill through the cryptocurrency market. Bitcoin fell roughly 5% within 24 hours, touching an intraday low of $87,814.93, its weakest level in several weeks. This deep pullback highlights a clear defensive shift among investors amid escalating US–EU trade rhetoric and rising geopolitical tensions. Capital is rotating out of high-volatility assets and emerging financial markets as participants brace for broader market turbulence. Overall, global asset pricing is increasingly dominated by safe-haven logic, and with tariff policies and geopolitical frictions continuing to ferment, market volatility has entered a new expansion phase.
