#XAU #GOLD #GOLD_UPDATE #Silver Strategist Peter Taylor stated, "For gold, we noted the risk of reaching $5,000/oz given ongoing concerns about the Fed chairman, and that has happened. We also warned of the risk of a 'sharp pullback' for silver, given its propensity to fall sharply."
The bank raised its average gold price forecast for the first quarter of 2026 to $4,590/oz from its previous forecast of $4,300/oz, and its estimate for the second quarter increased to $4,300/oz from $4,200/oz. Macquarie also raised its full-year 2026 gold price forecast to $4,323/oz from $4,225/oz.
For silver, the bank raised its first-quarter target to $75/oz from $55/oz, and its average forecast for 2026 is now $62/oz from $57/oz.
Taylor emphasized that market activity in January was unusually turbulent. "January began with the Justice Department's threat to file criminal charges against the Federal Reserve Chairman; the arrest and extradition of Maduro; a focus on Greenland with the threat of additional tariffs on some NATO countries; and a military buildup around Iran," he said.
He added that commodities overall also performed strongly, although fundamentals often misaligned with price action.
"Overall, this resulted in one of the best monthly price performances in the commodity complex in recent memory," Taylor said.
Macquarie said it would hold off on revising its long-term expectations for gold and silver, noting the ongoing disconnect between market fundamentals and extreme volatility in the precious metals sector. $XAU $XAG
At a time of increased volatility, capitulation indicators indicate a saving squeeze: the current unrealized Bitcoin spending has increased to 24%.
This level moves beyond the typical zones of transition between the whip and the other markets, but is lost to the lower ones beyond historical extremes.
Thus, the market is in the active phase of capitulation, but the remaining bottom has not yet been confirmed.

Gold has been lost on crypto exchanges – how does it work?
#GOLD #GOLD_UPDATE #GoldRush #XAU #RiskAssestsMarketShock Although tokenized gold, backed by a real asset, appeared on crypto exchanges just a few years ago, it has recently become an instrument without widespread popularity. The situation changed completely after wire platforms integrated gold and silver futures. This allowed traders to use leverage, transforming metal trading into a process identical to that of cryptocurrency derivatives. An important factor in the market transformation was high liquidity and easy access to trading. Instead of traditional markets for precious metals, cryptoplatforms will ensure continuous operation. Thus, the increased trading and uninterrupted access to assets actually moved traditional metals from the middle of the crypto market. How do line contracts feed into metal price cuts? Finally, today gold recorded its biggest decline in the last 40 years, and silver set an absolute record for the largest daily collapse. Zokrema, the price of an ounce of gold for mining fell by over 12% - the fastest decline since the beginning of the 1980s. Sriblo spent 36% of its value in just 24 years. This collapse ended within an hour with a correction in the cryptocurrency market. Although a direct connection between the volatility of metals and the crypto sector cannot yet be assumed, the scale of spending is striking: in just one day, the capitalization of the gold market has dropped by trillions of dollars, which is why it is illegal The capitalization of cryptocurrencies amounts to a total of 2.5 trillion dollars. Such a collapse is unlikely to coincide with the sale of physical metal. For such a result, the powers would have to immediately sell large amounts of gold reserves; there is no current official confirmation of such actions. Therefore, we can assume that the actions of the great traders in the futures market of precious metals on crypto exchanges are close to a collapse. However, this has not yet been completed. What is the influx of the market of precious metals into digital assets? The crypto market has completely lost its isolation, becoming sensitive to global economic and geopolitical processes. Although digital assets did not show growth during the current rally of precious metals, they often reacted to the further collapse of gold. This has provoked discussions about how capital can migrate between sectors depending on market sentiment. The theory of investment spillover is becoming a popular theory among cryptocurrencies. It turns out that after the stabilization of gold prices, some of the profits flowed to Bitcoin, stimulating its development. This scenario indicates an increase in trust in cryptocurrencies as an alternative instrument of savings. Particularly noteworthy is the historical pattern: Bitcoin often repeats the collapse of gold with an hourly record of approximately six months. While gold is reaching new highs, the cryptocurrency market is in the accumulation stage. As this pattern continues, in another quarter of the year it is possible to see a larger scale of growth in Bitcoin. What should I soak? The integration of high-value metals into the cryptocurrency ecosystem actually marked the beginning of hybrid finance. Traditional assets, like those associated with cryptocurrencies, were characterized by moderate stability and became a sign of high-risk instruments. Although obvious data is still insufficient to provide further clues about the fundamental relationships between these markets, early precedents are already tempting investors to reconsider their strategies. In this new reality, gold and silver are in danger of losing their status as a safe haven, perhaps soon, and perhaps again. Nowadays, for Bitcoin, such volatility potentially creates a unique window of opportunity. If the historical pattern repeats itself, then the flow of capital from metals to digital assets could become the main trigger for the growth of the sector. In fact, we are facing an unprecedented situation if gold and silver exhibit historical volatility. The coming months may become increasingly tense: either regulators and great governments will try to calm the markets and remove everything as it was, or cryptocurrencies will remain integrated into the global financial market. $XAU $XAG $BTC

#GOLD #GOLD_UPDATE #GoldRush #GoldenOpportunity Is gold getting more expensive? The world market of precious metals continues to show growth: the price of gold and silver are establishing new historical signs, attracting the respect of both investors and lovers of jewelry. At the beginning of the year 2026, the price of gold is hovering in the region of 4800–5000 dollars per ounce after short-term corrections, and gold is demonstrating even more aggressive dynamics, moving up to 70–80 dollars. Analysts from JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs and Reuters predict a continued downward trend, with possible average gold values of around 4740–5500 dollars and 79–100 dollars per ounce. The main reasons for this rise lie in a complex of global factors. Geopolitical tensions, trade exchanges, doubts about the stability of the US dollar as a reserve currency and large-scale purchases by central banks - all this allows for a flow on foreign assets. Additional pressure on quotes comes from relaxing the monetary policy of leading central banks, lowering real interest rates and fearing accelerated inflation. It removes the strong impulse from industrial production - the metal is actively used in solar energy, electronics, electric vehicle production and green technologies, which eliminates chronic The deficit of propositions has been around for five years now. $XAU $XAG
#ADPWatch 🐃 Coindesk: US labor market is a bullish signal for Bitcoin.
➥ Companies are preparing mass layoffs; in January, plans to cut 108,000 jobs were announced – three times more than the previous month. This is the highest number since 2009, when Lehman Brothers collapsed.
➥ Tech is seeing the most layoffs: Amazon and UPS have announced tens of thousands of layoffs. These plans were prepared back in late 2025, meaning businesses don't believe a strong 2026 is possible.
➥ Official employment statistics are still holding up, but private data is already signaling problems. Truflation (a blockchain platform) shows inflation below 1%, although official data still shows it's above 2%.
➥ A weak labor market + declining inflation = pressure on the Fed, the need to lower interest rates to avoid ruining the economy. And this historically drives up risky assets.
➥ BTC is currently half its ATH ($126k). If the Fed turns to monetary easing, a rebound could occur. $BTC $ETH $BNB
Details: • Iran demands discussions only of the nuclear deal and insists on the right to enrich uranium. • The US wants to expand the agenda: missiles, proxy groups, and internal repression. • The missile program is a hard red line for Tehran: the Iranian side immediately made it clear that any discussion of the country's defense capabilities, including ballistic missiles and their range, is completely off the agenda. • Amid the talks, Iranian state media showed the deployment of one of the longest-range ballistic missiles, the Khorramshahr-4, and recalled the underground "missile cities" of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), where, according to Tehran, key elements of its missile arsenal are located.
At the same time, Iran is signaling a willingness to compromise: • Transfer of up to 400 kg of highly enriched uranium. • A possible "zero enrichment" option through a consortium. • But only in exchange for sanctions relief.
Context: Before the talks, the US increased its naval presence off the coast of Iran, while domestic authorities harshly suppressed mass protests.

#GoldRush #GOLD #GOLD_UPDATE #Silver Why was there a reversal of gold and sribla It’s not just cryptocurrency that is being deceived, but the market for high-value metals. Gold and silver have grown in price almost without a hitch since the beginning of 2025. During this period, gold rose in price by as much as 90% and on September 29 reached a historic high of $5,598 per troy ounce (ozt). Sriblo grew by 330% – to 121.7 $/ozt.
The dramatic increase in the value of high-value metals was primarily due to the fact that investors, in the wake of global turbulence, were looking for a reliable asset for their pennies that could ensure the protection of capital and stability.
There will be a particular pressure on expensive metals after Donald Trump began to implement his aggressive tariff policy, as a result of which the position of the dollar as the main reserve currency was stolen.
Central banks also followed suit, as they bought nearly 1,050 tons of gold in 2024, and another 863 tons in 2025. There has been a strong impetus for the growth of the industrial sector - manufacturers of solar panels, electric vehicles, machinery and microelectronics, which in 2024–2025 added nearly 38,500 tons sribla.
Varto notes that at the end of 2025, a new gold rush has captured private investors. When the price exceeded $4300/ozt, some countries (most notably Australia, India and Vietnam) had large sums of money eager to get more gold.
Ale Rali could not have been more intense. The general overheating of the market, instability in the world arena (both political and macroeconomic) and the fall of cryptocurrencies have pulled down the price of precious metals.
From 30 September to 2 February, gold fell by 22%, and silver - by 41%. In penny currency, the capitalization of gold fell by approximately $7.4 trillion, and the capitalization of silver fell by $2.7 trillion. So, in total, the markets for high-value metals have lost as much as $10 trillion in just a few days. $XAU $XAG
