Today is not just a gold and silver crash. This is bigger than 2008.
Gold down 20%. Silver down 30%. In a single day.
A $40+ TRILLION combined market just violently repriced.
This does not happen in “safe havens”. This does not happen in orderly markets. This only happens when the system breaks internally.
Gold and silver became the ultimate safe leveraged trade. Institutions. Large funds. Commodity desks. Sovereigns. Long-only allocators who believed these markets cannot crash.
So leverage piled in. Quietly. Aggressively. Everywhere.
And today, leverage snapped.
Longs liquidated. Margin calls cascaded. Forced selling into thin liquidity.
Exactly how Bitcoin crashes. Except this time, it’s core collateral of the global system.
When something “never crashes,” it becomes the most fragile asset of all.
This is a systemic leverage unwind.
Trillions wiped out on paper today. The real damage comes next.
You will see it in: • balance sheets • collateral shortages • frozen credit • forced asset sales
First gold and silver. Then stocks. Then real estate.
That’s how these cascades always spread.
Today wasn’t the crash everyone will remember.
It was the crack that started the collapse.
And once confidence breaks at the core, everything else follows.

$AUCTION $AUCTION is struggling right now and looking for support at $4.50 -$4.90. For short term, I am waiting for a decent buying range at $4.90. @HK⁴⁷哈姆札 @Wendyy_ @Blackapple- @Mike On The Move
#FedWatch FOMC STATEMENT – KEY TAKEAWAYS The U.S. Federal Reserve has released its latest FOMC statement. Below are the main highlights investors should note: The Federal Reserve voted 10–2 to keep interest rates unchanged at 3.75%, in line with market expectations. FOMC members Chris Waller and Stephen Miran dissented, voting in favor of a 25 basis point rate cut. The statement retained language indicating the Fed will continue to assess the extent and timing of any future adjustments to the target rate range. The Fed acknowledged that economic activity continues to expand at a solid pace, while the unemployment rate shows signs of stabilization. Policymakers reiterated that inflation remains somewhat elevated, signaling continued caution in monetary policy decisions.
#FedWatch We already know that, in my opinion, rates will remain unchanged. The real game is not the decision itself, but Powell's words afterwards: that's when the market really moves.
At this stage, if you are already in position, the most sensible thing to do is to protect yourself: move your stops to break-even, remove the risk and relax. Then listen, observe the price reaction... and only act if the market confirms it. @CZ @Hua BNB
