Last night, the precious metals market experienced a bloodbath. Domestic gold prices plummeted nearly 1900 yuan per gram, and international gold prices fell in tandem; silver was even more tragic, with intraday flash crashes exceeding 10%, and the bullish panic selling was extremely fierce. Over $2 trillion in market value evaporated from the global precious metals market in one day — this is not a simple correction, but a complete wealth slaughter.
Why did this happen? Three reasons are fermenting simultaneously:
The profit-taking from the previous large gains is疯狂ly fleeing, and any slight disturbance can trigger a stampede. The dollar suddenly rebounded, and market expectations for rate cuts began to waver, with a strong dollar directly suppressing the upward space for gold prices. More critically, key technical support levels were broken, triggering a chain of stop-losses from institutions and algorithmic orders.
Is this the end of the bull market or the last golden pit? History tells us that in a true bull market, those疯狂 shakeouts are often clearing the way for the next rally. But for investors who are fully invested and chasing highs, this night has already become a nightmare.
The most ironic thing is that when gold, once hailed as a "safe-haven asset," itself becomes risky, what do you still believe is a true safe harbor? The faith in financial markets is undergoing the most severe stress test.

Gold can drop this much, so what risk aversion are we talking about? It's hilarious.

Gold can crash suddenly, so what safe haven are we talking about? This market is truly magical.

Gold is all about harvesting the chives, and you're still hoping it acts as a safe haven? Laughs.

Gold is plunging again, so who's next in the crypto world? Anyway, I can't understand this move.

All the gold is fleeing, what else can you trust? You still have to rely on on-chain data to speak.
