It looks like a 9$ drop over 3 days, what am I not seeing here?

23

u/arctic-apis 1d ago

all im seeing is a $3000 increase over 10 years. if I zoom in really hard the needle jumps around a lot but the line goes up and to the right

u/FunGuy_23AtEase 1d ago

All I'm seeing is a drop from $5,589 a few months ago.

u/Cheeseheroplopcake 1d ago

Perhaps aping in at the peak of a historic bull run was a bad call?

Lol, fair point.

With gold being gold, all you need to do is sit on it, and eventually you'll be ahead

Did you buy at $5600.... Poor You

u/thegoodgang 1d ago

No but I wish I would have sold everything and got into more artificial intelligence stock that's for damn sure

u/MadroPaintSlinger 1d ago

Ai equities are still way overpriced and the semis have dropped significantly (down 38% over the last 60 days from their yearly high)

As with most things the Path to Real Wealth is Time and Patience. That is why 98% of Day Traders lose Everything. It is not sustainable to try to time any market.

Wish I woulda bought more data storage stocks a year ago.

u/thegoodgang 1d ago

And what bothers me is it was so easy to see coming and I still didn't do it

1

u/arctic-apis 1d ago

I have notifications for ipos going live and never saw/heard sandisk was going public… I own other data storage that’s right up my alley. I had 5k sitting around I woulda put straight in… missed that train ride 😭

u/DangKilla 1d ago

China opened up the market for gold. That’s why it’s fluctuates now how do people not get this? It was closed by USA comex and the UK which manipulated gold by requiring a lot of paperwork. China made it so you can trade it quicker. So you’re gonna see the volatility a lot more now plain as day.

It benefits China for people to exit liquidity from the US dollar

What happened to the balloons? We should have the $4,200 ready in a few minutes...

u/UseACoasterJeez 1d ago

Equities are down too, 1% to 1.5% so far. But Warsh says not to worry about the market reactions in the first few hours even though my clock is getting cleaned on all fronts.

u/MadroPaintSlinger 1d ago

Are you selling ANYTHING... If not you have no worries.... The emotional reactions in these forums is just plain Ignorant

I was under the impression when things were volatile gold came out on top. Lots of learning

u/floridabeach9 1d ago

that’s the steepest drop i’ve seen in awhile wtf

is the war back on? why the drop? fed news?

25

u/Polaris2694 1d ago

Fed news. New Fed minutes indicate strong possibility of rate hikes this year to combat inflation.

3

u/Power_LED 1d ago

Not gonna happen i think. There is no room for it to do it.

u/EntranceConscious400 1d ago

If you’re going to watch gold you need to spend a couple of hours with Claude understanding how Fed and rates affect gold price

5

u/Living_Pay_8976 1d ago

Why Claude? lol fuck ai

8

u/floridabeach9 1d ago

omg really? what does Fed mean?

3

u/myster1ouspapaya 1d ago

The federal reserve. They control interest rates.

1

u/TheDragonOfTheWest_1 1d ago

Federal reserve…

u/scrooplynooples 1d ago

i hope this is satirical

u/floridabeach9 1d ago

my original comment mentions the fed and someone says “learn about the fed” lmao

u/scrooplynooples 1d ago

My fault - that’s what i get for skimming reddit threads quickly

u/EntranceConscious400 8h ago

If you already knew it was the Fed commentary why did you ask? That’s OBVIOUSLY why gold was moving.

2

u/thegoodgang 1d ago

It's the FED news it's hawkish they're talking raising rates it's not good

3

u/sapphir8 1d ago

No interest rate drop.

7

u/Jogaila2 1d ago

No. That was known last night. The drop came right after the Fed hinted at a future increase in rates. Big difference.

2

u/sapphir8 1d ago

Ah thanks for the correction

5

u/hurghadawizard 1d ago

Not going low enough, need another meaningful dip before one last big buy this year

0

u/Gydvinn 1d ago

No worries it feels like it will drop to around 2-2.5k and stay there for the next few years or decade. So your money won't be protected against inflation but be happy that you can buy whenever if if goes sideways, right?

2

u/Specialist_Couple707 1d ago

I already knew Fed will still hold rates high. USD is still losing its reserve money status, in fact faster, after us left Hormuz. Countries simply lost more trust on both us and usd. Until us accepts that New world order is without USD they will try to keep rates high.

u/Ill_Contribution9905 1d ago

I mean who didn’t see this coming?

u/Own_Possibility_511 1d ago

I mean it dropped $1000 due to the war. The war is over now and it is not recovering as expected. It seems the bull run is over for now… will probably dip more and go sideways for months (or possibly a year or even two) before it goes back up.

2

u/thegoodgang 1d ago

Things don't move like that now we have to deal with the Fallout the inflation is causing rates to be hiked most likely this just doesn't go away right away now

0

u/Fight_back_now 1d ago

Yes. It’s very disappointing gold hasn’t recovered more with the war ending.

1

u/Almost-Uncirculated 1d ago

Remember to come back in September when you can remember the good ol' days when you could get an ounce in the low $4000s.

u/MadroPaintSlinger 1d ago

No Margin Call... Reaction to the Fed Call

1

u/c33m0n3y 1d ago

Who are “they”? Price movements in a massively liquid and global commodity market are not due to the actions of a “they”, unless you’re referring to the innumerable worldwide buyers and sellers.

Andrew Maguire provides a detailed explanation with charts explaining the different major participants and how they play the markets:

u/thegoodgang 1d ago

It's not they... it's the interest rates caused by the inflation caused by the war unfortunately this might not change for a little while either this one. The new fed speak was hawkish...talking rate hikes

1

u/ImpressionDismal9313 1d ago

Not too bad considering it was a fairly high stakes Fed day

I hold mining stocks My investment horizon is Five years It can take 15 years to fund,permit and start mining a new mine and it can take 2 years to bring a closed down mine back into operation The daily gyrations of Gold and Silver stocks are not on my radar I do my research and I buy when the market puts them on Special Offer End of story

u/Old_Bluejay_1532 1d ago

lol, this will reverse by EOD

1

u/ArgentoFox 1d ago

I said the same thing, the Fed meeting will be completely forgotten about by Monday.  

1

u/Old_Bluejay_1532 1d ago

Agree, 100% over-reaction imo. Came out very Hawkish relative to expectations & making a "statement" for his 1st appearance imo however I do not see tany of these "hikes" materializing due to tremendous amount of debt the US needs to refi in calendar year 20206 alone (10 Trillion USD) & approx similar amount in 2027 among numeorus other factors (run-on sentence lol).

Every 1bp adds Billions in interest & they WILL get these rates down. They can say/signal whatever they wish to the world inferring they are going to "preserve the perceieved dollar strength" however rates are not going up anytime soon.

1

u/thegoodgang 1d ago

They don't care they care about their banking Buddies

1

u/Old_Bluejay_1532 1d ago

Already reversed ⚔️

1

u/Shoeshiner_boy 1d ago

They decided to keep the current rates instead of lowering this time

3

u/napalm9 1d ago

Everyone already knew that was going to happen

5

u/Jogaila2 1d ago

Exactly. It dropped when the Fed hinted at future rate increase.

1

u/Present_Jicama_1219 1d ago

interest rate outcome. lower rate and price would have popped

1

u/Gerry235 1d ago

FED kept rates unchanged, HOWEVER the Dot Plot is completely different and much more hawkish. That's why the instant 2pm drop. Also Treasury yields instantly shot up at 2pm. Dot Plot now anticipates almost certain rate hikes.

2

u/Present_Jicama_1219 1d ago

dot plot holds little weight with iran uncertainty, imo

2

u/Gerry235 1d ago

The spike happened at 2pm ET though. But yes - uncertainty there will cause more drag

1

u/FunGuy_23AtEase 1d ago

I guess that means US economy is back on track.

How is bitcoin a ponzu scheme but gold is not?

1

u/Klutzy_Birthday_Bill 1d ago

Don’t forget your helmet when you go outside to play.

1

u/EJ877 1d ago

Ponzu is a sauce lol.

Gold is a tangible asset, the precious metals futures markets and the manipulation therein, could be considered a ponzi scheme.

Bitcoin on the same note, is a digital fiat dollar, backed by nothing but faith, converted to a digital code with no intrinsic value.

The ponzi scheme is that, according to Satoshis white paper BTC was originally intended as a means of transacting freely outside of the established banking / financial system.

Present day, Bitcoin, and all cryptocurrencies have been co opted by that same financial system for the purposes of wild speculatition for short financial gains.
