🔥 KEY TAKEAWAY
Gold was rejected MULTIPLE times:
2011 ❌
2013 ❌
2016 ❌
2018 ❌
2020 ❌
But each drop made higher support.
When resistance finally broke in 2024 — the move became unstoppable.
This is how real macro breakouts form.
Long range → repeated rejections → pressure builds → massive expansion.
Gold didn’t pump.
Gold released 15 years of stored energy.
