Private Credit Stress and Liquidity Squeeze

Gold just suffered its steepest weekly decline in more than 14 years, plunging toward $4,100 an ounce before a violent rebound. While mainstream headlines credit the pause on Iranian energy strikes, Gareth Soloway, Chief Market Strategist at Verified Investing, warns that a much larger, systemic threat is driving the selloff.

In this compelling macro and technical breakdown, Soloway explains how a brewing crisis in the $2 trillion private credit market is triggering margin calls, forcing investors to liquidate gold as it behaves increasingly like a risk asset. Furthermore, he reveals the chart that is truly dictating U.S. geopolitical policy: the U.S. 10-year yield nearing 4.5%.

Soloway maps out his exact technical targets, explaining the "Phoenix effect" setup that requires a washout of weak hands before gold resumes its long-term trajectory toward $10,000. He also details his warning for the S&P 500, the failure of the U.S. dollar's crisis bid, and why capital is currently rotating into Bitcoin.
