Gold fell 22% from its January 2026 high of $5,589 — during a war, rising inflation, and an oil shock, when every rule said it should be climbing. And it gave back a full year of gains in hours, triggered not by a war headline but by a jobs report. This video explains who actually sold and why: energy-importing nations raising emergency dollars, war-financing states monetizing reserves, and leveraged funds forced into margin-call selling. Meanwhile central banks bought a net 244 tonnes in Q1 and returned to net buying in April. The "crash" wasn't a conspiracy — it was forced selling meeting strategic accumulation, against the backdrop of a $39 trillion debt that points toward one historically consistent resolution.
