【CryptoPunk】Commodity Strategy Analyst recently offered an interesting perspective—gold, silver, various metals, and US stocks may face the risk of overextension in 2026.
How to understand this? Look at Bitcoin and crude oil, and it becomes clear. Their decline in 2025 is driven by a common reason: they surged too rapidly. Although these rapid increases seem to be supported by fundamentals, the problem is—once the market gets overheated, it often triggers a series of chain reactions.
What exactly happens? Increased supply, suppressed demand, and eventually the market needs to correct itself. Traditional commodities like gold, silver, copper, along with the US stock market, are now showing similar overheat signals. Short-term gains are certainly exciting, but history tells us that such momentum is usually unsustainable. If this logic holds, these asset classes in 2026 should be approached with caution.

It's indeed risky to rise too rapidly, but who dares to hold a vacant position at high levels waiting for a correction? Anyway, I wouldn't dare either haha

Warning again, is this logic already worn out...
---
Wow, it's not even 2026 yet and you're already scaring people. I feel like someone says it's going to collapse every year.
---
If it rises too fast, it must fall. There's nothing wrong with that, but the ones who really make money are never those who listen to these.
---
Gold and silver are about to be blamed again, so only Bitcoin is correct?
---
Wait, so should I run now or keep stacking? Can this analyst give a definitive answer...
---
History tells us... history also shows that many people who predicted correctly went bankrupt.
---
The overheating signal is back again, they said the same last year, and what was the result?

Will 2026 see another crash? This logic seems to be repeated every year... However, this time, the idea of gold and the US stock market going down together is indeed a bit bleak.

It's the same old rhetoric again, when it goes up they say it's overheated, when it goes down they say it's inevitable... Laughing to death, history always repeats itself.

Another wave of "2026 collapse theory," I'm already tired of hearing it haha
How do you explain this logic... If it rises too fast, it must fall? Then why did the US stock market hold firm this time? It seems analysts always love to call the top after the fact
2026 Risk Warning: Will gold, silver, and the stock market follow in Bitcoin's footsteps?
