Today’s rally in $XAU—I didn’t rush to speak at first, because I was afraid it might be a fakeout. After watching XAU for a while, I noticed that every pullback was being absorbed, so I chose to go long. From 3988.05 to 4109.18, the return has already reached +282.3%. This trade was the market being generous in real time.

Many people overlook one thing: the grinding consolidation before the breakout is actually very important. It looks boring, but it’s digesting the overhead supply. The more no one wants to wait through that phase, the easier it is to shake out the impatient.

My thinking right now isn’t complicated—when you’re making money, don’t get cocky. Protect what needs protecting, keep what should be kept. If the trend continues, ride it; if it weakens, exit. Short-term trading doesn’t mean you have to trade every day. If you miss a move, don’t chase—wait for the next, more solid signal.
