🟡 Gold — Take a Step Back
Zoom out.
Not days. Not weeks. Years.
In 2009, gold hovered near $1,096.
By 2012, it approached $1,675.
Then came the quiet years.
From 2013 to 2018, price moved sideways.
No hype. No headlines. No excitement.
Most people stopped paying attention.
But when the crowd loses interest, that’s often when long-term positioning begins.
In 2019, momentum returned.
$1,517… then $1,898 in 2020.
It wasn’t explosive — it was steady. Building pressure.
While traders chased faster markets, gold kept forming structure.
Then came the breakout.
2023 reclaimed $2,000.
2024 pushed beyond $2,600.
2025 extended above $4,300.
Moves of that scale rarely happen by accident.
They reflect larger macro shifts.
Central banks increasing reserves.
Record sovereign debt.
Currency dilution.
Shifting confidence in fiat systems.
Gold doesn’t trend like that without underlying stress in the system.
At $2,000, it was “too expensive.”
At $3,000, it was “a bubble.”
At $4,000, the tone started to change.
Now the question becomes:
Is $10,000 unrealistic — or are we witnessing a long-term repricing of value?
Maybe gold isn’t suddenly expensive.
Maybe purchasing power is adjusting.
Every cycle presents the same choice:
Position early with patience —
Or react later with emotion.
History rarely rewards panic.
It consistently rewards discipline.
