What is happening?
Silver has dropped by -35%, platinum by -24%, gold by -13%. According to some data, silver lost almost 40% in a single day. Many bought at the peak, expecting endless growth, but the market showed that this does not work. The history of 2008 and other crises teach us: growth without correction ends painfully.
Why did this happen?
Macroeconomics and rates: when inflation expectations or dollar movements change, even 'safe havens' fall quickly.
Mass hype: many people bought precious metals based only on the trend, without analyzing risks. This creates a bubble effect that sooner or later bursts.
Market psychology: seeing daily green candles easily leads to deception — it seems like you can only win, while in reality, correction is approaching.
What to do now?
1️⃣ Don't chase every rise — the risk of losses when entering during hype is very high right now.
2️⃣ Wait for correction — buy selectively, watching support and trend, not daily growth.
3️⃣ Look at long-term signals, not short-term emotions: the market grows in waves, and during hype, you can always lose.
Interestingly, against this backdrop, crypto is holding relatively stable. Part of the growth has already been worked out, and speculative activity has somewhat 'calmed down'. This shows that crypto can still be an interesting alternative to traditional assets if entered wisely and waiting for the right moment.
💡 Conclusion: the market does not grow linearly. If you want to preserve capital and not lose out on the hype — look at the trend, wait for correction, and enter selectively, not emotionally.
