π₯ While institutional investors began to exit gold, retail investors bought gold through ETFs, pouring in a record $70 billion in the second half of 2025 and the first quarter of 2026.
Selling by institutional players started in mid-November and intensified significantly after the January correction in the precious metals market.
BIS explained the fall in prices by overheating of positions - small speculators accumulated an excessive number of long positions with high leverage.
The subsequent margin calls and liquidations of overleveraged funds caused a domino effect.
Over the past two days, gold has corrected by almost 10%, approaching $4,500.
A similar situation is observed with silver, as well as other metals.
