A brutal broad-based selloff is gripping global markets, with investors dumping risk assets en masse. Metals are at the epicenter of the pain -- silver plunging a staggering 10%, while gold sheds 3%, erasing recent gains amid spiking commodity volatility.
This isn't just noise... it signals a potential unwind of overcrowded safe-haven trades, especially as geopolitical tensions (like U.S.-China tariff spats and rare earth curbs) show signs of easing, reducing demand for precious metals.
Equities aren't spared: the S&P 500 is down 1.29% early on, mirroring a shift away from momentum plays like AI and tech stocks. Even real estate giants are tanking double-digits, hinting at spillover into cyclical sectors.
This tandem tumble across classes screams systemic caution -- watch for Fed signals and AI earnings for rebound clues. 🔍👀
Watch for: • Fed tone shift toward growth risks or tighter financial conditions signaling policy is restrictive enough • Rate cut language moving from hypothetical to base-case discussion in speeches • Liquidity relief via QT slowdown, balance sheet flexibility, or stress in funding markets forcing Fed action (liquidity relief is rocket fuel for risk assets) • Inflation cooling without labor damage, giving the Fed cover to ease
🚨 MARKET FOCUS:$BTC EXTREME FEAR HAS ALWAYS MARKED OPPORTUNITY
Look at the chart. 2012 crash, Mt. Gox, 2017-18 bear market, COVID, FTX. Every single one printed “Extreme Fear.” Back then Bitcoin was $7, $400, $3K, $15K -- and each moment felt like the end.
Today we’re back in extreme fear territory again.
The difference? The network is stronger. Institutions are involved. ETFs exist. Sovereigns are mining. The infrastructure is deeper than ever.
