☕Red weekends always come with increased risk.
When markets enter Saturday in the negative, the situation rarely "calms down." Liquidity decreases, there are fewer active buyers, and any sale moves the price more strongly than on weekdays. That’s why a red background on Friday often turns into either a push or sharp chaotic movements.
The key signal today is that not only risky assets are under pressure, but also defensive ones. Falling are $PAXG , $XAU , $XAG , and along with them new instruments $XPD and $XPT. This means that the market is not hedging right now, but going into cash, reducing overall risk.
The most common weekend scenarios: continuation of the sell-off in a thin market, a short technical rebound from oversold conditions, or a draining sideways movement without volume.
What usually becomes decisive is not Saturday, but how the market closes on Sunday — this moment often sets the mood for the beginning of the new week🧘.
