Robert Kiyosaki says gold, silver and bitcoin are “on sale” as margin hikes deepen rout

Robert Kiyosaki says gold, silver and bitcoin are “on sale” as margin hikes deepen rout

Robert Kiyosaki, the “Rich Dad Poor Dad” author, said he’s snapping up gold, silver, and bitcoin following what he described as a “crash.” He called the price dip a chance to buy these assets “on sale.” Gold and silver have seen sharp swings since Friday, with gold marking its steepest one-day drop since 1983 and silver hitting its worst daily plunge ever. CME Group bumped up margin requirements on major U.S. metal futures—the cash traders need to put up to maintain leveraged positions. A KCM Trade analyst pointed to “forced liquidations and margin increases” triggering a cascading effect.

Bitcoin drops below $75,000, resetting price predictions for Ethereum and XRP

Bitcoin drops below $75,000, resetting price predictions for Ethereum and XRP

Bitcoin dropped 2.4% to $74,546 during Monday’s Asian session, with ether tumbling as much as 5.2% to $2,166. The selloff in precious metals spilled over into risk assets. Christopher Forbes, head of Asia and Middle East at CMC Markets, described it as “risk off and de-leveraging - a flushing out of leverage in the system which has built up.” The move is significant because crypto still behaves like a high-volatility gamble tied to liquidity, not a haven when investors get defensive—known as “risk-off.” Riya Sehgal from Delta Exchange reported over $2 billion in leveraged positions were liquidated, meaning exchanges forced traders out of losing bets. She highlighted “low-liquidity weekend trading” and noted that outflows from U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs—funds holding bitcoin—“amplified” the sell-off.

Gold, silver extend historic plunge as margin calls spread after Trump’s Fed pick

Gold, silver extend historic plunge as margin calls spread after Trump’s Fed pick

Gold and silver slid further on Monday after CME Group raised margin requirements for metal futures, deepening the sell-off triggered by President Donald Trump’s nomination of Kevin Warsh to head the Federal Reserve. By 0504 GMT, spot gold had dropped 3.6% to $4,686.51 an ounce, while silver plunged 6.7% to $78.96, extending its steep 27% plunge from Friday. Tim Waterer at KCM Trade pointed to “forced liquidations and margin increases” as key drivers. Speed matters. What started as a simple trade turned into a scramble for liquidity, as losses forced investors to cut positions aggressively. Tighter margin rules mean leveraged traders face margin calls—requests for extra funds—that often spark selling into declining markets just to avoid default.

Gold price drops ₹9,050 in India as silver sinks ₹20,000 — JP Morgan still bets on $6,300 gold

Gold price drops ₹9,050 in India as silver sinks ₹20,000 — JP Morgan still bets on $6,300 gold

Gold and silver prices in India tumbled sharply on Monday, marking a fourth consecutive day of declines that rattled the bullion market. Ten grams of 24-carat gold dropped Rs 9,050, settling at Rs 151,530. Silver also plunged, down Rs 20,000 to Rs 300,000 per kilogram. Meanwhile, 22-carat gold was priced at Rs 138,900 per 10 grams. Prices slid following a broad pullback in precious metals and commodities after a wild January surge. Gold dropped roughly 9%, silver tumbled over 13% in early Asian trading. CME Group responded to Friday’s steep selloff by hiking margin requirements—the cash needed to hold futures positions, according to Reuters. Vivek Dhar, strategist at Commonwealth Bank of Australia, described it as “more hawkish” talk on U.S. policy and labeled the dip a “correction and a buying opportunity.”

  • Data Points to $1 Trillion Institutional Test for Bitcoin’s Next Leg Higher
    July 4, 2026, 7:04 AM EDT. It now takes much more money to push Bitcoin higher than before. A decade ago, $5 million could double the price-now cycles need over $100 billion. CryptoQuant founder Ki Young Ju said it may take $1 trillion or more in new institutional funds for Bitcoin to see another big rally, turning it into a serious macro position instead of a retail trade. The comments follow record outflows from spot bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. and a weak first half for the token, as some doubt whether institutions can actually step up their buying. Analysts warn returns shrink as assets age, and it's unclear if big institutional flows will materialize.
