The recent sudden crash in Gold and Silver prices in February 2026 has left many investors and analysts surprised. While global economic factors play a role, the planetary movements often signal these trends long before the charts do.
In my latest research, I have analyzed the “Gochara” (Planetary Transits) to understand the root cause of this volatility.
Key Astrological Findings:
As per my analysis, three major planetary events triggered this market correction:
1. The Trigger Point: Mercury (the planet of trade) conjoined with Rahu in Aquarius on February 3rd. This combination is known to create sudden panic and unpredictability in the market.
2. Gold (Jupiter) Affliction: Jupiter, the significator (Karaka) for Gold, is currently receiving the direct 5th aspect of Rahu. When the Gold Karaka is overshadowed by the shadow planet, prices destabilize.
3. Silver (Venus) Combustion: Venus, representing Silver, is currently sandwiched between the Sun and Mars, rendering it ‘Combust’ (Astangatha). An afflicted Venus struggles to hold the value of silver high.
Classical Evidence:
The ancient text Brihat Samhita (Arghya Kandam) clearly states that when benefic planets are afflicted by malefics, the prices of metals (Dhatus) suffer a loss.
