Gold and Bitcoin have experienced significant capital outflows and increased short interest in the first half of 2026, driven by slow progress in U.S.-Iran talks and broader macroeconomic uncertainty. Gold ETFs like GLD and GDX saw short interest spike by 80% and 50%, respectively, while Bitcoin hit a new yearly low of $57.7K before a brief recovery. Institutional investors have been net short on Bitcoin, with U.S. Spot ETFs recording a $5.4 billion net outflow in H1 2026.

Analysts caution that confirmation of a sustained recovery depends on upcoming inflation data and the July FOMC meeting. The outlook suggests continued volatility with a potential market bottom for Bitcoin expected in Q4 2026.
