Sevens Report: Gold and Silver Drop After Unsustainable Parabolic Run

/in , /by

Tom Essaye says last month’s precious-metals surge broke under its own weight.

Gold, silver losses ease after ‘disturbing’ safe haven sell-off

Gold and silver prices stabilized Monday after a violent selloff that reversed a parabolic rally and caught many investors off guard. According to Sevens Report Research founder Tom Essaye, the breakdown was inevitable given how stretched prices had become.

Essaye said the speed and magnitude of last week’s gains left the precious metals market vulnerable to a sharp correction. Once selling began, momentum flipped quickly as traders recognized that the recent advance was detached from sustainable fundamentals.

While the move was dramatic, Sevens views it as a technical reset rather than a signal that the broader bullish case for precious metals is broken. The firm has consistently cautioned that steep, momentum-driven rallies often end abruptly once confidence cracks, especially in crowded trades.

From here, price stability and consolidation will be key in determining whether gold and silver can rebuild upside momentum or remain vulnerable to additional volatility.

Futures are steady this morning amid a mostly quiet macroeconomic backdrop with tech shares lagging after NFLX (-6.5%) and TXN (-7.7%) missed on earnings after the close yesterday.

Economically, U.K. CPI was unchanged at 3.8% vs. (E) 4.0% y/y in September, further easing global inflation worries.

The Treasury will hold auctions for 4-Month Bills (11:30 a.m. ET) and 20-Yr Bonds (1:00 p.m. ET) which could impact fixed income markets and subsequently move equities amid an otherwise mostly quiet day today.
