Still, as we can see above, the numbers have been rising quite steadily, so it's kind of strange that the markets would only now take notice. What's even more strange is that for all the headlines and noise in the media, the markets really haven't moved all that much and remain largely within their previous ranges.
By zooming out a bit, we can see that bitcoin, the S&P 500, gold, and the U.S. dollar really haven't moved very much in the last two weeks at all. The exception here is gold (bottom left), which struck its highest level since 2012 today.
So it experienced a bit of a breakout there, but it still has a high chance of falling back into its former range before potentially going higher.
