Crypto journalists only have the habit of explaining the price movements of Bitcoin with some totally unrelated world events, because that is what generates traffic for their site - no one wants to hear how Bitcoin easily changes and rises or falls as a result of pure speculation, because it's very boring. This has no effect on how the bitcoin network works, or how people might use Bitcoin. Gold and Silver values go up, and Bitcoin must also go up. The Corona «black swan» virus is being used to bring down the fiat system, and a number of economies, and this will allow the central bank to accumulate assets in preparation for the recovery, and replacement of the monetary system.
I believe that the price of Bitcoin is kept low to help them create this new system.
