Most people saw “good news” this weekend. I mostly saw mispriced risk
US shutdown resolved → markets breathed for a moment.
But under the surface:
◇ Natural gas collapsed ~25% in one session
◇ Middle East tensions pushed oil higher
◇ Gold and silver quietly reclaimed key technical levels
I’ve seen this pattern before.
When macro stress builds outside TradFi hours, price discovery doesn’t wait for Monday.
That’s why I adjusted my gold exposure during the weekend, not after the open.
Not because I expected fireworks, but because gaps usually punish late decisions.
This is also where Bitget TradFi Gold Trading makes sense for me:
• 24/7 access when macro shocks actually happen
• Immediate execution, no weekend freeze
• Ability to manage risk instead of guessing Monday gaps
The mistake isn’t volatility.
The mistake is thinking risk only exists during market hours.
Curious how others handle this:
Do you stay flat on weekends, or do you actively manage exposure when TradFi sleeps?
DYOR.
