【BlockBeats】Spot gold plunged today, briefly falling below the $4590/oz level, with a decline of 0.58%. Simultaneously, spot silver also weakened, dropping 4.00% during the session to $88.66/oz. This wave of correction in precious metals reflects the recent volatility in the commodities market. For investors holding diversified asset allocations, this may signal a rebalancing between risk assets and safe-haven assets.

Precious metals have broken down, indicating that risk aversion sentiment is fading, and funds are looking for an exit... At this time, it’s better to look for small coins at low levels that are building a base; hundredfold opportunities often appear when everyone is pessimistic.

Silver drops 4%? Are you joking with me? How can safe-haven assets perform so poorly?

Gold has fallen below 4590, and silver has dropped sharply by half. It seems that even safe-haven assets can't withstand the pressure.

Silver drops 4%? What is this hinting at, or is it purely a technical adjustment?

ngl this is like watching your sous vide precision just get *ruined* by a broken thermostat... gold dumping like that usually means the kitchen's about to get chaos. silver down 4% tho? that's giving "your farm-to-fork supply chain just got compromised" energy fr fr
