If you have gold in hand, you must watch this video all the way through; it can help you lose 5 years' worth of salary less!
In 1980, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates to 20%, causing gold to plummet by 65%, and some people jumped off buildings;
In 2008, Lehman Brothers went bankrupt, and gold fell 15% in one week, with institutions cutting losses;
In 2011, the bull market peaked, and gold dropped 40% over four years, with Chinese aunties being trapped for five years before breaking even...
There have been 6 major crashes in gold, and behind them are 5 iron laws:
1️⃣ When the Federal Reserve raises interest rates, gold must kneel
2️⃣ Liquidity crises, gold can't withstand either
3️⃣ Real interest rates are the real boss
4️⃣ War only lasts three days of pleasure
5️⃣ Don't hold heavy positions, don't go all-in, dollar-cost averaging is the best
So, can we enter the market in 2026?
My judgment: Under expectations of rate cuts, gold is likely to fluctuate upward, but don’t expect to get rich overnight. Remember one thing—gold won't make you rich, but reckless gold buying can make you poor again.
What do you think about gold prices in 2026?
