In all the markets in the world, you will find people standing in lines if the shop owners made a sale
But in the financial market only, you will find people fleeing and stepping on each other if the shop owner made a sale
A week ago, everyone was fiercely defending the rise of gold and silver... and that it is the safe haven during crises... and that it enters the chip industry... and that it is God's currency on earth... etc... etc.

In my reading of the market scene during the year 2026, I find that we are living in a pivotal stage that combines geopolitical tensions, fluctuations in traditional assets, and the hesitation of digital assets between accumulation and launch. The picture is not linear but complex; where politics intersects with currency, economics with risks, and trust with regulations. In this article, I present my personal vision of what is currently happening, and what may await gold, silver, and bitcoin, in addition to the impact of hot political files and potential decisions within the United States.

In financial markets, the strength of an asset is not only measured by how high it goes, but by how it behaves after reaching its peaks. What we've recently seen in gold and silver cannot be summed up as a mere transient downward movement, but rather a reflection of a deeper phase: a phase of smart repricing after a historic surge.
Gold (XAU): From Surge to Equilibrium
Gold recorded a strong peak near levels of 5,625, a peak that reflects not only purchasing power but also a final surge that preceded an inevitable correction. The rapid decline that followed the peak was not a broad investment exit, but rather a process of liquidating positions and speculative holdings that had accumulated during the rise.

Despite the record jumps that gold has achieved in recent years, the seasoned investor and former CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, Warren Buffett, still maintains his cautious stance towards the yellow metal, refusing to consider it a means of building wealth in the long term.

A billionaire Chinese trader, who made his name during the historic gold price surge, has shifted to targeting silver after its sharp jump, in a bold move betting on a decline in the white metal, a deal that is currently approaching a value of 300 million dollars.
Bayan Shiming, who avoids media appearances and spends a large part of his time in Gibraltar, has made nearly 3 billion dollars from bullish bets on gold contracts on the Shanghai Futures Exchange since the beginning of 2022. Data from the exchange and Bloomberg analysis, along with sources familiar with his investments, indicate that he is now the largest net short position holder in silver on that exchange.
