Bearish🚨 THIS WAS A BLACK SWAN NO MODEL CAN EXPLAIN
Gold down 15%.
Silver down 38%.
In the last 24 hours, more than $15 TRILLION was erased from gold and silver alone.
That’s roughly half the GDP of the United States — gone in a single day.
Let that sink in.
This wasn’t a bad trade.
This wasn’t a crowded exit.
This wasn’t volatility.
This was a statistical impossibility.
What we just saw qualifies as a Sigma-10 event — the kind of move that most financial models say should never happen.
Not once in a century.
Not once in thousands of years.
Basically: not in the lifetime of the universe.
And yet, here we are.
Markets aren’t supposed to do this.
Especially not in gold and silver — assets designed to absorb stress, not explode from it.
When something that “cannot happen” suddenly happens, it’s not the price that’s broken.
It’s the assumptions underneath the entire system.
Risk models failed.
Hedging failed.
Safe havens failed.
That’s the part nobody wants to confront.
People joke about “the simulation breaking,” but this is what that actually looks like when the math stops lining up with reality.
This wasn’t just a black swan.
It was a warning that the framework everyone relies on
is no longer describing the world we’re trading in.
And once that realization sets in,
markets don’t go back to normal.
They reprice what “normal” even means.
