One of the largest wholesalers for Silver and Gold bullion paused ALL buying to help their processors get caught up. As soon as they posted that on their site, silver/gold took a plunge. That may or may not be the reason but it definitely didn't help.

Overall stock market is tanking as well, which is usually strange to see if save haven assets also tank.

Markets (and BTC) tanked because Trump called for lower interest rates and senate is about to vote for partial governement shutdown.

Lots of governemnt workers usually take out money from investments because they will not get paid with that shutdown.

In the event of markets tanking, major investors tend to close save havens like gold, especially if they are so much up, to cover the other losses.

Similar things happened during events like COVID and Brexit.

a bit of a stretch. Mostly just skittishness on tech earnings and profit-taking around ath across all indices. With Trump threatening to bomb Iran and bad weather etc etc, maybe a good time to sell b4 the weekend. Idk but I'd bet there will be a deal to avoid another shutdown, probably late Friday.

Not sure you can say that drop on gold was predictable with price action. You're guessing the loto numbers after the draw, but i do agree it's been weirdly easy to trade these last few months for as crazy as that sounds.

Absolutely untrue.

Trump threw out a post calling for interest rate cuts while the US Sentate is due to vote for a partial government shutdown.

Markets tumbled due to this and to cover the losses and fees, save haven assets were sold to cover the rest. This was absolutely not technical lol.

Corrections and sell-offs are normal, obviously. Thursday was aboslutely not normal.

Market open sent gold up for 200dollars/oz in a matter of hours. I honestly haven't seen 50dollar 1minute candles often but they were there. What is normal is that after a big sure, a big plunge usually comes, which had some catalysts (the ones I think I commented earlier).

Nevertheless, we can not say this was a 'normal' technical event because it has no precedent, the last time something similar happened in such a short time span was when COVID arrived to the West.

Nonetheless, overall fears of things like Iran getting bombed will likely cause metals to rise again, I do wonder if we're gonna see ATH's anytime soon or if this will be the start of prolonged stagnation below previous ATH (5600ish)
