The trading market performed well in 2026, with precious metals continuing to rise, despite silver facing short-term correction pressure. The gold market is generally optimistic, with Goldman Sachs predicting its year-end price will reach $4,900, mainly due to the positive impact of the Federal Reserve possibly continuing to cut interest rates.

【CoinPush】The trading market in 2026 is off to a good start. Precious metals continue their upward trend, with the end-of-year closing pressure largely eased, and fundamentals once again becoming the driving force—Bitcoin has also begun a strong new year rally.

KCM Trade Chief Market Analyst Tim Waterer observed that this wave of gains in precious metals is still ongoing. However, silver may face short-term correction pressure. TD Securities Senior Commodities Strategist Daniel Ghali issued a warning that in the next two weeks, the Comex silver market could see a sell-off of up to 13% of total holdings, which would trigger a revaluation of prices and a rapid decline. Moreover, the post-holiday environment of insufficient liquidity will only amplify price volatility.

Regarding gold, institutions are generally optimistic. Goldman Sachs’s baseline forecast last month pointed to a target: gold prices are expected to reach $4,900 by December 2026. Major banks are bullish on gold prices this year, with the core logic being that the Federal Reserve will continue to cut interest rates, coupled with the US President reshaping the Federal Reserve’s leadership, injecting upward potential into the precious metals market.

Can this 13% plunge in silver really happen? It feels like us retail investors are just waiting to buy the dip... Should we continue to push Bitcoin higher or play it safe with gold? I'm so conflicted.

This wave of silver was targeted by institutions, with a 13% sell-off... Liquidity was already scarce after the holiday, and this is just handing the shorts a knife. Gold remains steady at 4900, Bitcoin is rising again, and the market pattern feels quite clear.

Silver is about to drop... 13% of holdings being sold off is a bit aggressive, and poor liquidity after the holiday will only make things worse. There is still hope for gold to reach 4900, but silver definitely needs to stay out of the way. BTC is relatively stable, but I'm worried that a plunge in precious metals will drag down the market. Wait, is this another tactic by institutions to cut the leeks? First hype it up, then dump the market. Let's observe first, no rush to buy.

The 13% sell-off pressure in silver is really just waiting for a gravity pullback. The two-week launch window is approaching, and the upper band of the Bollinger Bands has already opened wide. It is recommended to first lock in the stop-loss level.
