🧠 Narrative Summary
- Gold: Remains structurally bullish but losing short-term flow momentum. Institutional net longs softened but retail hasn’t flipped yet — neutral with caution.
- Silver: Emerging leader — rotation into Silver while Gold consolidates. Stronger bias confirmation from COT and technical alignment.
- Copper: Retail piling in as COT fades — early trap signals appearing. Avoid strength chasing here until divergence clears.
