$2.5 TRILLION erased in just 30 minutes. Pause and process that.
Gold just went through a shock move — a brutal, near-instant drop in market value that’s almost unheard of for a traditionally “institutional” asset. Liquidity dried up fast, buy orders vanished, and price discovery turned aggressive and unforgiving.
This wasn’t about fundamentals shifting overnight. It was positioning, leverage, and the hidden fragility of so-called safe trades once everyone crowds into the same side.
The takeaway is simple but brutal: no market is immune to speed anymore. Capital moves at crypto velocity now. Even gold trades like a risk asset when liquidity disappears — and when liquidity is gone, everything becomes a risk trade.
