🔥Continuing the strongest start since 1979! Gold approaches $4,400, silver breaks through $74, and Goldman Sachs boldly sets a target of $4,900.
In the first week of trading in 2026, the precious metals market is exceptionally hot. Gold and silver both hit nearly 50-year highs, driven by familiar factors—central banks continuously buying gold, expectations of Fed rate cuts, a weakening dollar, and geopolitical tensions—all fueling safe-haven capital inflows into precious metals. Goldman Sachs's $4,900 forecast is well-supported, with potential political policies under Trump possibly prompting the Fed to further ease, boosting bullish sentiment.
However, beneath the prosperity lurks danger. Some institutions warn that in the next two weeks, silver futures could face a large-scale reduction of 13%, with price revaluation risks still present. Liquidity was already tight after the holiday, and if passive funds initiate rebalancing, the market could experience intense volatility—such "liquidation waves" have previously triggered unexpected declines.
Currently, investors face a dilemma: how much higher can gold go? Has the recent surge in silver already peaked? On one side are major institutions bullish, while on the other side, massive hidden sell orders are quietly approaching. Will the market break through new highs or undergo a correction? The answer is still brewing.

Well, Goldman Sachs is calling for 4900, but I always feel it's a bit虚 (uncertain).
The 13% reduction in silver positions really can't hold up, once I let go, it's all over.
Wait, the recent uptick in precious metals... could it mean Bitcoin is being drained?
Something's off, it feels like institutions are just hyping it up again.
I'm taking a break, waiting for liquidity to warm up after the holiday, jumping in now is too risky.

Is the 13% reduction in silver position pressure something to be afraid of? Well, I'm definitely scared.

Goldman Sachs 4900? Haha, here we go again... We said the same thing last year, and look what happened
Wait, 13% reduction pressure in silver? That's the real key, more churning of retail investors
A correction after a sharp rise is inevitable, why can't some people understand this rule?
Tight liquidity + passive fund rebalancing, a perfect buying opportunity is here
The fact that gold hit a 50-year high... honestly, it's a bit outrageous, it feels like a bubble about to burst
Institutions are bullish, hidden sell orders are approaching, isn't this a classic case of dumping at high levels?
Trump's new policy easing? Don't be silly, the Fed would really dare to cut rates, try it
Silver breaking through $74 is the biggest trap this year, get ready to be caught, everyone

Wow, Goldman Sachs, are you serious about this 4900? Feels like we're about to get burned on this move.

Goldman Sachs calls 4900, I knew it was time to reduce positions. This trick has been played too many times.

ngl the 13% liquidation pressure on silver futures is classic textbook setup... transaction patterns suggest someone's quietly positioning before the rebalancing kicks in. statistical anomaly written all over it tbh
