Episode notes

- Ran highlights that gold is non-yielding so higher yields make treasuries comparatively more attractive.

- Bitcoin tested the bottom of a bear flag and bounced, creating a chance to attempt a breakout toward $74–75k.
- Ran outlines two paths: break above 75k to resume bull trend or fail and drop below the bear flag.
