Gold fell to $4,086-4,195 on October 7. First time this week it hasn't opened above $4,300 since September 25.$XAUT

Down between 5.65% and 7.2% over the past month, depending on the exact window measured.

I think the pace matters more than the headline percentage here, honestly. This isn't a single bad day. It's a steady grind lower that's erased a meaningful chunk of gold's earlier run.

Not calling a bottom. Just noting the $4,300 level that held for weeks finally gave way.
