📉 Nearly a decade of consolidation.
No hype. No momentum. No retail interest.
That’s typically when smart capital builds positions quietly.
Then trend strength started to return.
2019 — $1,517
2020 — $1,898
2021 — $1,829
2022 — $1,823
🔍 Pressure was accumulating beneath the surface.
Sideways price, rising conviction.
And then expansion.
2023 — $2,062
2024 — $2,624
2025 — $4,336
📈 Almost a 3x move in three years.
Moves of this magnitude are not accidental.
They’re not driven by retail excitement.
⚠️ This is macro positioning.
Key drivers: 🏦 Central banks accelerating gold accumulation
🏛 Sovereign debt at historic extremes
💸 Persistent currency debasement
📉 Erosion of trust in fiat systems
When gold trends this way, it’s signaling systemic stress, not speculation.
They mocked: • $2,000 gold
• $3,000 gold
• $4,000 gold
Every “impossible” level eventually became support.
Now the narrative shifts.
💭 $10,000 gold by 2026?
Not a fantasy anymore — a potential repricing cycle.
🟡 Gold isn’t getting expensive.
💵 Fiat purchasing power is deteriorating.
Every cycle presents a choice: 🔑 Position early with a plan
😱 Or chase late with emotion
Markets reward patience and preparation.
