🚨 Markets Just Experienced a Rare Shock Event

Everything looked stable—until the U.S. session opened.

Bitcoin cracked first.
Then risk assets followed fast.

Within just ONE hour:

• Gold plunged 8% → ~$3.1T wiped
• Silver crashed 12% → ~$700B gone
• S&P 500 fell 1.3% → ~$800B erased
• Crypto lost ~$110B in market cap

💥 Over $5 TRILLION vanished in 60 minutes
That’s equivalent to the combined GDP of Russia + Canada.

What caused it?

🟡 Gold & Silver:
Excessive leverage.
Retail chased the top — liquidation cascade followed.

📉 Stocks & Crypto:
Rising geopolitical risk.
Reports of U.S.–Iran tensions and the USS Abraham Lincoln going dark sparked fear-driven selling.

⚠️ This wasn’t normal volatility.
It was a systemic reset.

📌 Days like this don’t happen often — and when they do, markets remember them for years.
