Risks Rise for Bitcoin, Gold, and Silver as Goldman Sachs Warns $80 Billion in Stock Selling

BeInCrypto
Goldman Sachs warns systematic funds could sell up to $80 billion in stocks, potentially increasing volatility for Bitcoin, gold, and silver.

Summary

Goldman Sachs has issued a warning that systematic funds, specifically Commodity Trading Advisers (CTAs), are poised to sell significant amounts of equities due to triggered sell signals in the S&P 500 amid thinning liquidity. The bank estimates that $33 billion in stock selling could occur within a week if markets weaken, potentially escalating to $80 billion in systematic selling over the next month if the S&P 500 continues to decline or breaks key technical levels. This potential equity sell-off, amplified by dealers being positioned "short gamma," is expected to spill over, increasing volatility for macro-sensitive assets like Bitcoin, gold, and silver, as liquidity conditions deteriorate and investor sentiment shows strain.
