Gold & Silver Crash: "Safe Haven" Status Under Fire 📉🏦🥇
Market Carnage: Gold and Silver prices plunged sharply today, Feb 13, 2026, as a surprise "jobs beat" (130k vs 70k expected) sent the U.S. Dollar and Treasury yields soaring. 📌
Key Levels Broken: Gold crashed back below the critical $5,000 psychological level (hitting $4,966), while Silver suffered a massive 10% liquidation, tumbling toward $75. 🏛️
Financial Stress: Despite record U.S. household debt and rising corporate bankruptcies, investors are liquidating "safe havens" to cover margin calls in other assets, treating metals like leveraged tech plays. ⚡
Bitcoin's Failure: BTC failed to act as a hedge, dropping 17% this month to trade near $65,000. Analysts note it is currently behaving more like a "liquidity-sensitive risk asset" than digital gold. 📊
Fed Pivot Delayed: The strong labor data has crushed hopes for a March rate cut, with the market now bracing for "higher-for-longer" rates, which typically sucks the life out of non-yielding assets like Gold. 📈
