Gold May Hit $4500? Would You Add or Expect More Selloff?

Gold was down 5% in two days, hitting $4600 - a six-week low. Silver falls into a "bear trap"? Leveraged ETF AGQ crashes. Is the selloff offering a discount? Would you add gold and silver?

Gold is no longer the safe haven. Inflation is set to remain stuck at higher levels with the destroyed infrastructure in the Middle East that would take years to recover. The hopes of a rate cut is diminishing and this would put a curb on gold prices rising. To me, gold and silver have always been speculative in nature that depends on the supply and demand ratio and have no real growth value of their own. I would prefer to keep away from them. Oil and gas is similar to gold and silver as these are commodities. A lot of the prices depends largely on how the war goes. Since there is no way I can predict that, I do not want to risk being trapped at the currently already high prices in case the war ceases. Based on the current risk ratio, I prefer to wait it out for further price action, and

$WTI Crude Oil - main 2605(CLmain)$ shows suppressed volatility. If oil stays above $90 for a sustained period, a 10-15% correction in the $S&P 500(SPY)$ becomes the base case. If it hits $120+, the selloff accelerates as the "Wealth Effect" reverses. Gold is not as attractive this time because of Trump’s market intervention. With the Fed staying "higher for longer," real yields get pushed up and temporarily choking gold's momentum. See if the oil reserves exhausted soon, the market will face a physical supply wall. If the strategic release ends before the U.S. and Iran set on ceasefire, then betting on oil is better than gold. Thanks @Tiger_comments @TigerStars

🌟🌟I do not believe the current gold/silver is a Bear Trap nor the start of a regime change.  Gold does not depend on a dividend or a corporate board's permission to exist. Gold's value is dictated by the law of physics and scarcity. Gold never had a "bad quarter".  It doesn't have to worry about missing an EPS target or a DOJ investigation into its office renovations. Unlike Gold, Silver is a working class metal with its sleeves rolled up. If the AI revolution is the "Brain" of 2026, Silver is the nervous system that transmits the thoughts . Silver is indispensable as it is the most conductive metal on Earth. From HBM chips to solar panels, the demand for Silver is insatiable. That is why the current USD 4600 dip in Gold and the 30% plunge in Silver prices offer a great time to

Gold price drop is rather silly. At $4500, central banks are accumulating. The excuses for gold price drop is supposedly oil prices going up and Fed not reducing interest. 1. less oil or more expensive oil would means less gold available or more expensive gold going forward but oil prices don't affect gold already mined. 2. War = expensive oil which gold mining requires , meaning more higher ASIC in future, so gold will cost more 3. War = inflation and unemployment going up hand in hand - ie stagflation, ie QE, ie value of USD dropping regardless of interest rates.  4 institutions are caught pants down and are setting the narratives so that they can rotate in.

The recent drop in gold doesn’t surprise me—it’s more of a rate-driven repricing than a structural breakdown. With the Fed turning more hawkish and real yields rising, assets like $SPDR Gold Shares(GLD)$ and $Gold Trust Ishares(IAU)$ naturally come under pressure. The speed of the move shows how crowded the “rate cuts” trade was. That said, I’m not bearish on gold structurally. Rising oil prices and geopolitical tensions are rebuilding the inflation narrative, which supports gold over time. This is a push-pull between higher real rates short term and inflation risk in the medium term, and I’m watching how gold holds the $4,700–$4,800 range. From a positioning standpoint, I’m staying selective—avoiding hi

The Red Screen of 2026: Why Gold & Silver are Diving Together  🌟🌟🌟As of Friday, 20 March 2026, the commodities market is in a high velocity liquidation flush.  If you are staring at your screen wondering why Gold and Silver are diving despite the Iran war, look no further than the high stakes standoff at the US Federal Reserve. The "Why": The Captain Who Refuses To Leave the Bridge  The Powell Standoff:  The Cause  The market is recoiling because Jerome Powell has effectively declared on Wednesday 18 March 2026 that he is not going anywhere.  He vowed to serve as "Chair Pro Tem" if his term expires on May 15 before a successor is confirmed. The Power Play  Even more disruptive, Powell stated that he would remain on the Board of Governors until 2028 wh

Surprisingly, gold and silver dipped amidst the oil crunch. However the situation may change and the familiar role as a safe haven reappears. @Veldora @grab @Syw @Jeffyap96 @karenykw @MKTrader @Subramanyan @Tiger_Merch @Success88 @MuchMoreLee <

1. The current gold and silver sell off is a bear trap since there is high market volatility and the price of gold is likely to increase sharply 2. To benefit from this position the best position is to short $ETFS Physical Gold(GOLD.AU)$ 3 at the moment gold is falling in value and oil is appeciatinf in value, however over supply of oil is forecast in the near term to benefit from selling oil today

The sell-off continued today. In pre-market trading, $SPDR Gold ETF(GLD)$ and $Gold Trust Ishares(IAU)$ fell 2.86% and 2.77%, respectively. Mining ETFs $VanEck Gold Miners ETF(GDX)$ and $VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF(GDXJ)$ declined 5.12% and 5.24%, while leveraged products amplified the downside, with $MicroSectors Gold Miners 3x Leveraged ETN(GDXU)$ down 15.37%, $Direxion Daily Gold Miners Index Bull 2X Shares(NUGT)$ down 10.39%, and $Direxion Daily Junior Gold Miners Index Bull 2X Shares(JNUG)$ falling 7.03%.

Typically, war equals higher gold prices. But 2026 is proving different. With gasoline prices up 21% since the conflict began, inflation expectations are ripping higher. The market is betting the Fed will stay "higher for longer," pushing real yields up and temporarily choking gold's momentum.

Gold prices saw a sharp decline yesterday, dropping about 3.7%, followed by another 2% decline today. Within just two days, prices broke below the $5,000 and $4,900 levels, falling toward $4,800 and even briefly dipping under $4,700.

Geopolitical tensions are back with a vengeance. Just as the market was pricing in a "US-Iran rapprochement," the script flipped. Reports of assassination threats against leadership have shattered the fragile trust, and the Habshan gas facility strike in Abu Dhabi has set the energy complex on edge.

1) Bear trap or regime change? Likely a correction, not regime change. Gold’s core drivers (central banks, geopolitics) remain. But short term pressure from USD + rates is real. Silver still looks like a liquidity flush, not confirmed trap yet. 2) Positioning Gold: gradual accumulation (no leverage) Silver: wait for stabilisation Energy: trade pullbacks, not chase 3) $4600 gold dip? Nibble, don’t go heavy. Good reset level, but momentum is still weak. Another leg down possible if USD strengthens. Bottom line: This is a transition from gold-led fear → energy-led fear. Patience and staggered entries matter more than conviction now.

Short answer: this looks more like a violent reset than a clean “discount”. I would not rush in aggressively yet. --- What just happened (key drivers) 1) Rates & dollar flipped the narrative Fed signalling “higher for longer” → yields up, USD up Gold (non-yielding) lost relative appeal  2) Oil spike crowded out “safe haven” flows Energy became the primary hedge in this conflict Capital rotated out of gold into oil  3) Positioning was extreme (this is critical) Silver and gold were crowded trades after a parabolic run Unwinding triggered cascade selling  4) Leverage blew up the downside (AGQ effect) Leveraged ETFs must sell into declines AGQ crash amplified the drop mechanically  --- Is silver a “bear trap”? Possible, but too early to confirm. Why it could be: Indust

I don’t see this as a structural breakdown in gold—it looks more like a liquidity-driven shakeout. The drop in $XAU/USD(XAUUSD.FOREX)$ despite rising geopolitical risk tells me real yields are in control, not fear. With inflation expectations rising, the Fed staying “higher for longer” is capping gold. For now, this feels more like a bear trap than a regime shift. I’m watching oil more closely than gold. The muted move in $WTI Crude Oil - main 2605(CLmain)$ feels artificial given the situation. If the strategic reserve buffer runs out soon, we could see a delayed spike, and that’s where real market stress begins. Positioning-wise, I’m not rushing into gold yet—I want to see yields peak first. I’m more focused on energy and broader risk like $S&P 500(SPY)$, and will look at gold again

Definitely it is a good opportunity to buy the gold dips.  Will wait for the bottom consolidation to add more. Cheap gold is the best
