Gold Just Took a Hit — CME Margin Hike Strikes Again
If you’re trading Gold, you probably felt that sudden drop. And no, it wasn’t random.
Here’s what really happened:
CME raised margin requirements on Gold futures
Leveraged positions suddenly became more expensive to hold
Many retail traders got forced out of their trades
Stops triggered → chain selling → sharp crash
This isn’t new. History repeats:
2011 — Gold & Silver saw brutal dumps after CME margin hikes
2020–2022 — spikes quickly followed by violent corrections
Key takeaway for traders:
High leverage + ignoring CME margins = recipe for losses
Panic selling only hurts you
Wait for strong structure zones before entering
Remember:
Markets don’t crash on their own — it’s the positions that get crushed.
