Gold & Silver crashed 5%+ last week, shaking retail portfolios while smart traders quietly positioned for rebound. MCX Gold hit ₹88,500, Silver ₹98,200 as Fed signals + Rupee strength crushed safe haven bets. Smart Disha reveals what professional traders actually watch through 10 Gold Crash FAQs
Q1. Why did Gold & Silver crash despite global tensions?
Fed’s hawkish tone (no Dec’25 rate cut) strengthened USD to 108+, crushing Gold priced in dollars. Rupee appreciated 45p to ₹83.15. COMEX futures dumped 4.8% first
Smart trader lesson: Currency > geopolitics short term
Q2. Which Gold stocks crashed hardest buy the dip?
Sovereign Gold Bond flatlined. MCX Gold futures -5.2%. Jewellery stocks (Tribhovandas, PC Jeweller) fell 8-12%. Titan +2%, Kalyan Jewellers +1.5%.
Smart traders: Rotate to consumption, not commodity
Q3. Silver worse than Gold why the 7% bloodbath?
Silver’s industrial demand collapsed with China PMI 48.2. Gold:Silver ratio spiked to 92:1 (panic level). Silver needs ₹1.05L Gold breakout for 15% catch up
Trader math: Patience wins rebounds
Q4. What triggered this Gold crash technically?
Gold broke 200DMA (₹89,800) with highest volume in 18 months. RSI oversold at 28. MCX Silver tested ₹95,000 support. Large put buying at ₹87,000 strike shows rebound bets
Smart money signal: Institutions betting March expiry rebound
Q5. US Fed + Trump tariffs Gold bull or bear?
Fed pause kills short-term rally, but Trump 2.0 tariffs (25% China) = inflation = Gold ₹95,000 by Q2’26
Position: Buy dips above ₹87,500, trail stops at 2% risk
Q6. Rupee strength killing Indian Gold demand?
No. Domestic jewellery demand up 18% (wedding season). Import duty stable at 6%. Physical Gold ETFs +1% vs spot crash
Pro move: ETFs lower tracking error vs futures
Q7. What do smart traders buy during Gold crashes?
Top 3 picks:
- Domestic jewellers (Titan, Kalyan) – 20% festive growth
- Gold ETFs (Nippon, Zerodha) – No storage hassle
- Silver minis (₹1L contracts) – 3x rebound leverage
Avoid: COMEX futures, unhedged miners

Physical wins long term (no counterparty risk). Digital faster for traders (NSE Gold ETFs +0.8% vs spot)
Smart Disha rule: 70% SGB (tax-free), 30% ETF/options
Q9. Wedding season saving Gold demand?
Nov Dec’25 weddings = 35% yearly demand. Akshaya Tritiya’26 front running starts Feb. Titan guided 22% revenue growth
Timing: Buy now, sell Holi rally
Q10. Rebound targets + crash proof portfolio allocation?
Gold: ₹91,500 → ₹95,000 (March)
