🟡 Gold’s Historic Meltdown — And How GAR Capital Nailed It

October 2025 will be remembered as the month gold collapsed.
After months of grinding higher, Gold Futures ($GCZ25) saw a massive retrace — the biggest single-day drop since the early 2010s. Prices broke through key supports and triggered a full-scale liquidation wave, catching many traders off guard.

But not us.

At GAR Capital, our Futures team was ready — and we executed not one, but two perfectly timed short trades that capitalized on this rare move.


🔻 The Setup — Spotting the Turn Before It Happened

Yesterday, CEO Carlos G. issued an alert in our Futures-Signals channel:

“MGC Z25 SHORT SETUP (Gold Futures – Dec 2025)
Entry 4165 | Stop 4185 (–20 pts)
Targets: 4155 → 4145 → 4135 → 4125 → 4115 → 4100 → 4081”.

Gold had been struggling to hold its recent highs, and our analysis pointed to a major retrace / breakout retest.
Members who followed the trade saw price cascade down point by point — smashing through every target.

By the time TP6 (4100) hit, members were up +65 points, and soon after, TP7 (4081) gave us +84 points — a massive win for our Futures gang.

💰 Round 2 — The Evening Reload

Later that night, with gold still under pressure, Carlos G. called another shot:

Shorting MGC @ 4100 December Contract
Stop 4130
TP1 4090 → TP8 4020

Minutes later, the alert went live — and gold delivered again.
The move extended into the night session, hitting every target all the way down to TP8 (4020).

Our traders locked in another +80 points, with several members posting over $10,000+ gains on the session. Kev G. even shared his live PnL showing $11,050 profit from the same trade.

⚙️ Diversification = Strength

This is exactly why GAR Capital trades multiple markets.
We don’t rely on just one strategy — we trade Options, Futures, Stocks, Crypto, and even Forex when opportunities arise.

When the stock market is choppy or slow, the Futures desk steps up.
When gold melts down or indices rip, we’re there — prepared, diversified, and confident.

It’s not luck. It’s process.
