The best opportunity to buy gold and silver this year has arrived.
——————————————
Yesterday, the annual rebalancing of the Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) was completed.
What is BCOM? It is one of the most important global commodity investment benchmarks, essentially a "commodity investment basket" that includes assets such as gold, silver, crude oil, and agricultural products. Currently, over $10 billion in global funds follow the allocation ratios of this index.
Therefore, this year's BCOM weight adjustment has become the most significant factor affecting precious metals. The weight changes this year have created substantial pressure on gold and silver holdings.
According to Bloomberg's published plan, gold's weight in the index has dropped sharply from 20.4% to 14.9%, while silver's weight has been cut in half—from 9.6% to 3.94%.
——————————————
What does this mean?
Passive funds tracking BCOM must sell large amounts of their gold and silver holdings during the adjustment window from January 8 to 14, in order to bring their positions down to the new target weights.
——————————————
How significant is this selling pressure? According to Deutsche Bank estimates, approximately 6,800 tons of gold will be sold within five days, potentially causing gold prices to drop by 2.5% to 3%. The selling pressure on silver is also substantial—$7.7 billion in silver selling pressure will appear in the market in the near term, equivalent to 13% of the current COMEX silver open interest.
However, the clear conclusion is that this adjustment is almost certainly technical in nature, not a shift in pricing trends. Investors can still focus on allocating to precious metals like gold and silver during this correction. Moreover, this correction risk has been largely priced in, including the December adjustment of margin requirements for precious metal positions.
——————————————
The fundamental drivers supporting gold's long-term trend remain completely unchanged.
Global geopolitical uncertainties, sustained central bank demand for gold, and the start of the Federal Reserve's easing cycle all provide strong underlying support for gold.
——————————————
This correction is almost certainly the best time to buy gold. This is the final conclusion.

Currently, there is a lack of performance from the opposing positions.
Good news brings opposing positions, and the market will liquidate the opposing positions.
Because the market lacks sustained capital to drive cryptocurrency prices.
Therefore, the crypto market is extremely sensitive.
——
Assuming there are a large number of quantitative/market makers participating in the market now, but the prices are stable.
When good news appears,
First, event-driven institutions will chase longs.
Retail investors will lag behind the event-driven institutions and also chase longs.
However, the capital from good news is not continuous; event-driven institutions will quickly close positions, leading to market selling pressure. Retail investors act in a pulsed manner, not continuously.
This cannot bring in pricing-level capital inflow.
Therefore, short-term good news drives price volatility while also disrupting the original game relationship.
"Rebalancing" will bring about a reverse change in the market.
Thus, the more short-term good news there is, the easier it is to create a wedge.
With Christmas approaching, the entire market is heavily defensive, and capital is very conservative.
——
When will the breakthrough happen?
A change in pricing levels or a real improvement in liquidity.
Here, we need to differentiate adjustments in liquidity management tools.
I believe everyone should still learn options to study arbitrage from a higher-level perspective.
Otherwise, I really suggest doing less watching and acting.
RV might be very important.
The speed of RV suppression actually reflects the current scale of institutions in the market.
As for directional judgment, I believe it is already lagging.
Of course, shorting is also more favorable.
Because retail investors see good news, they tend to go long.
When they see bad news, they do not tend to short/sell but will hold on.
These two are clearly unbalanced.

Why does $BTC frequently draw a door? I think the point made by @大老师Bugsbunny is very good.
The cryptocurrency market is extremely sensitive to liquidity; it is an index of the global liquidity of the market itself. The price movements in this market are determined by the direction and amount of the opposing positions.
When good news arises in the market, institutions will first chase the long positions, and the delayed retail investors will also chase the long positions. However, if liquidity does not improve and the good news cannot be sustained, the original game relationship needs to be rebalanced.
The bulls become the opposing positions, and thus it turns into drawing a door.
Right now, there is a lack of performance on the opposite side.
Positive news brings the opposite side, and the market will clear the opposite side.
Because the market lacks sustained capital to drive the coin price.
Thus, the crypto market is extremely sensitive.

Assuming there are a large number of quant/traders participating in the market right now, but the coin price remains stable.
When positive news appears,
First, event-driven institutions will chase long positions.
Retail investors will also lag behind the event-driven institutions and similarly chase long positions.
However, the positive capital is not continuous; event-driven institutions will quickly close their positions, leading to market sell pressure. Retail investors are impulsive, not continuous.
This does not bring in pricing-level capital.
Thus, short-term positive news drives price fluctuations while also disrupting the original gaming relationship.
"Rebalancing" will bring about a reverse change in the market.
Therefore, the more short-term positive news there is, the easier it is to create fluctuations.
With Christmas approaching, the entire market's defense is significant, and capital is very conservative.

Paypal's entry into risk-free yield, the capital-strapped crypto circle will restart
Payment giant Paypal enters the arena, potentially reshaping the crypto landscape and DeFi fundamentally (no ads, enjoy safely @PayPal) This article is a preamble, let's leave a pit here to fill later —————— Paypal will offer compliant users a risk-free annual yield of 4% (with some variations in yield), among yield-bearing stablecoins, pyusd currently has a TVL second only to ethena (ethena's is 6.455B, pyusd is 3.854B) A risk-free annual yield is an extremely exaggerated thing, which will turn U on Paypal into a revolutionary asset and is a core logic leading valuation pricing Transaction fee 0.99% is far lower than other credit cards (traditional international credit cards 1.5%-3.5% + currency conversion fee)
The reason for the current interest rate cut, but the market is still weak is
1. This interest rate cut is fine, the dot plot shows only one rate cut next year, which is less than the market's expectation of three rate cuts next year. 2. The magnitude of the next interest rate cut has decreased to 55%. 3. Powell has raised the threshold for rate cuts to ensure the independence of the Federal Reserve.
The third point is very crucial. The last time the threshold for rate cuts was raised was in December 2024, after which the Federal Reserve paused rate cuts and did not resume until nine months later, so the market is somewhat concerned.
It should still be due to the project party not having money.

Top-tier market makers have collapsed, it's been two months, why is there still no conclusion?
On one hand, market makers are still continuously selling off to recover losses and engaging in self-rescue; every day they can delay is a victory; On the other hand, there are still negotiations outside with the exchange: how to fill the gaps, how to compensate, all are bargaining chips on the negotiation table.
Life is hanging by a thread, publicly admitting it is equivalent to suicide. Buying time for space, so don't ask, the answer is denial.
GSR did not market make according to the order requirements It may be due to a lack of funds or a large strategic adjustment Pay attention to the risks of altcoins
In 26 years, expanding the money supply and the issuance of 26 billion in bonds is just the beginning. After the Federal Reserve's transition, printing money will happen more naturally.

So what is the most important thing to maintain financial stability?
It's the AI bubble, and now we need to find more reservoirs.

Recently, the FOMC has led the market to adopt a defensive stance, with high-risk stocks such as small-cap stocks being sold off, mainly to manage expectations for the FOMC meeting, and the VIX is also rising.
Trading suggestion: After the FOMC meeting, hedged positions will decrease, thereby raising the prices of various underlying assets.
(Unless the FOMC meeting shatters the expectations for interest rate cuts at the end of December.
