Brothers, zoom out on the candlestick chart. Don’t look at daily or weekly, look at the yearly. In 2009, gold was at $1,096; in 2012, it rose to $1,675. And then? From 2013 to 2018, it was stagnant for a full six years. During that time, everyone was mocking gold, calling it an “old relic,” and funds all moved to other assets. But it was precisely when everyone was dismissive that smart money quietly started to enter.

In 2019, gold started at $1,517; in 2020, it surged to $1,898, then continued to consolidate. When it broke $2,000 in 2023, and hit $2,600 in 2024, now in 2026, it’s over $4,300. Honestly, this isn’t something retail investors pushed up. Central banks around the world are buying, debt is exploding, and currencies are being diluted. This wave of gold is driven by the “credit re-pricing” logic.

When it was $2,000, some said it was expensive; at $3,000, some laughed; at $4,000, some shouted bubble. And now? The discussion is whether $10,000 is just a dream. To be honest, gold didn’t suddenly become more expensive; the money just became more devalued. Every cycle offers the same choice: either wait on the sidelines or chase after the rally. History doesn’t reward panic sellers; it only rewards those who can sit tight. $XAUUSD
