Gold and silver have eased in recent sessions as risk appetite improves, even as trade tensions, shifting rate-cut expectations and firm bond yields continue to shape the broader market backdrop. After a powerful rally and a sharp bout of volatility — particularly in silver — investors are watching closely for signs of whether precious metals are consolidating or approaching a deeper correction.

Vermeulen breaks down key technical levels for gold, explains the psychology behind silver’s dramatic surge and sell-off, and outlines what signals he’s watching to determine the next major move.
