After PAXG went crazy up, the most panicked people are not the shorts, but those opening 20x leverage
The biggest feature of PAXG recently is:
It’s clearly pegged to gold,
but it’s increasingly resembling a high-volatility altcoin.
In the past, people bought gold to sleep peacefully;

Many players have already formed a dangerous logic:
“Gold won’t crash sharply, so I can boldly leverage up.”

Targets:
TP1: 0.4385
TP2: 0.4445
TP3: 0.4525

Click on the live account I follow for daily live broadcasts and interactions. I'm back.

Reflecting on recent high–profit-to-loss ratio trades, I’ve reached a conclusion: in today’s macro market, the “time gap” of cross-market fund transfers is the most expensive friction cost in investing.

XPT and PAXG suddenly become popular: Is the crypto world finally starting to seriously speculate on gold?
In the past, the crypto world looked down on gold.
Many people shouted every day:
"BTC is the real digital gold!"
But now, as XPT and PAXG rise, the market immediately starts to collectively research:
"Should we keep going crazy over gold?"
This is the most genuine part of the financial market:
After a rise, the logic automatically fills in.
Currently, the main core logic behind XPT and PAXG is actually:
Global risk aversion sentiment.
Federal Reserve, geopolitical confl
