Gold & Silver Lost $550B in a Few Hours, Bitcoin Fell Too: Who Was Selling?

Gold, silver and Bitcoin fell together on September 28. We test the rate, leverage and liquidity clues behind the mystery seller. On September 28, gold, silver and Bitcoin dropped together within hours, and one estimate put the combined notional loss in the metals at more than $550 billion. COMEX gold closed down 4% near $4,148, silver fell 5.8% to about $61, and Bitcoin touched $82,780 as the selloff unfolded. In this video we investigate the obvious explanation, a 19-year high in Treasury yields, Fed rate-hike expectations and an oil surge tied to Iran, then ask what it fails to explain. Why did three assets move together? Why did silver's thin futures market amplify the drop? And why did physical buyers such as central banks and Chinese importers appear to stay put? We examine macro funds, systematic trading, forced margin selling and leverage, compare the move with the January crash, and explain what to watch with this week's PCE inflation and jobs data. We do not claim a single bank or whale was responsible, because no credible public evidence identifies one. Instead, we separate confirmed facts from reported claims and speculation, so you can judge the evidence yourself. ***IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: The information presented on this channel is for educational and informational purposes only.
