Why's gold not pumping?

[Big Dirams]

Lol, sorry but that wouldn't be happening anytime soon.

Thats only a wishful thinking haha. I know its not like crypto that is very volatile and move massive position but there will come a time that it will happened but just you like said it will not happened anytime soon. Well just coping didnt have a lot of it or bought at very low price but its okay Im kinda patience with this.

Maybe focus on others that are low. Maybe gold can retrace a bit when theres an economic news related to it in the future.

Sure it just so clear that you yourself knowns that it just a wishful thinking because no one really hope for something in that manner to occur right now  even if gold might tends to drop we don’t want to see such deeper drops to be honest. We just really wish for gold to keep pumping just as bitcoin does and keep following the bitcoin trends at least we can keep seeing little profits and our portfolio will keep on growing and pumping perfectly.
We can accumulate if we see little dips and absolutely we can at the same time make good profits from that.

On the 28 February 2026 the bombing of Us and Iran, actually started this year, and when the forex Market opened that week gold price pump aggressively on Monday been the 2nd of March. But after that day the price just suddenly and slowly started dumping, and currently now it's just consolidating. Normally when there's war between two countries, gold price usually pumps, due to the fact that investors see gold as a safe haven to store and protect their money. So what's really happening with gold, why's the price not pumping?.

I will simply say here that it seems natural to me that the war has just begun and that it may or may not immediately impact the gold or silver market.

Even then, we saw a short-term pump in the gold market when this war started, but then gradually gold prices came back down a bit. I personally think that the most direct connection between this war between Iran and America and Israel is the global energy supply and the disruption to it, we have already seen an increase in energy resources. And this will take some time to directly impact the gold and silver markets, maybe a few weeks or even a few months.

Why would it? With the context here, war isn't won with gold, though. Would you throw gold to the enemy?^{(this is just a joke)}

I have learned new things here, such as that Gold was pumped before a war, which happened here. Right now, with the current gold market, it seems like there are no buyers or they are lying low. Maybe they are stepping back for a reason.

The question is now, what is the reason? Hmmm  

It could also likely be that the gold market is waiting for the Fed update on future cuts for it to get pumped again, because right now it's just sitting there with traders waiting patiently.

The attention of the world right now is geared toward protection of investment and rebalancing of portfolio so as to either save cost during the war tensions rising here and there or to secure investment by keeping it safe and on standby.
Either way, the price of gold is steadier than that of Bitcoin right now and still remains valuable around the world.

However, if global geopolitical tensions do not ease, I would not be surprised if after the correction phase, it reaches $6k.

Many predictions are pointing towards that price before the end of the year, though we already know better than to take predictions too seriously. That said, if we look at the factors that affects the price of gold, then it is also possible to draw our own conclusion that $6k at the end of this year is a real possibility.

Though it would depend on its price movement in the next couple of months, if it does not experience any sharp correction in price, and stays just around $5k per ounce by mid-year, then it is possible for it to push to $6k+ at the end of the year.

I predict gold will correct downwards to around $4000 and silver to below $50 before both rebound strongly. Gold and silver have risen too much over the past year, and it was inevitable that large investor would take profits en masse.

In my opinion, with increasing geopolitical instability, the emergence of a multipolar world is becoming increasingly apparent. Asset considered safe haven, such as gold, will always be a top priority for nations. Therefore, they are likely to rise even more sharply in the future, and any correction will be an opportunity to accumulate.

Remember the trading slogan, "buy the rumor, sell the news." If I remember correctly, gold actually surged in the days when US-Iran tensions escalated. Once the war actually broke out, major traders were already in profitable positions. However, the real safe haven from this war is energy commodities, as the effects of scarcity are truly felt worldwide. Capital inflows into the gold market will be limited, with most going to the oil market.

I actually think so, right now the big gold holders are selling their gold to the market and rotating into oil.
I just don't think money will stay in the gold forever knowing some of these huge gold holders could be opportunist and seek more profit in the oil sector as to the latest news with the escalation of war.

Gold ain't the most profitable thing anymore in this Q2 and its rotating to oil.

Look at this table (from that article),

1985-1996 was only 2.53%. Should that be excluded from the cycle?
If so, that's 31 years, then 15 years, not a consistent pattern. So when you says "16 year cycle", it's likely pattern fitting after the fact.

I believe energy needs must also be considered realistically, not just in terms of investment returns. Society relies on oil as a primary supporter of mobility and crucial infrastructure almost everywhere in the world.

I don't say that, it's information taken from the article and it says the gold market has its 16-year cycle. Gold market or Bitcoin market or any other markets, there are no market cycles that completely similar with each other in times and ROIs. There are cycles, patterns and that's it but there are differences one away or another among different cycles.

Like Bitcoin, we have witnessed that no cycles are completely same with other previous cycles from time of start and ending, duration of a cycle, and ROIs.

About gold cycle.

A major clue to a possible cycle is given by low points. The second-last major low in the gold price was around the end of 1999 and early 2000. The last major low was recorded in early 2016. If we go back sixteen years, we find the major low of 1984 / 1985, which put an end to the bear market begun in 1980. If we go back another sixteen years, we find 1968, which corresponds to the start of the impressive bull market that began in 1980. What's more, 1968 corresponds to the start of the upward pressure on the gold price that had gradually led to the decision to leave the gold standard.

What's remarkable, in the three major cycles we've cited (with three lows), is that the major peak takes effect eleven to twelve years after the low (1980, relatively 1996, then 2011/2012). We're therefore dealing with upwardly-biased cycles (the peak takes effect beyond halfway through the 8-year cycle). An ideal gold price cycle so far would therefore be sixteen years, with twelve years of upside and four years of downside.

I couldnt find any information or data to suggest that money is flowing from gold into oil. But I agree that gold is falling due to pressure from profit taking by speculator. Because gold has nearly doubled in value over the past year, profit taking is understandable. In addition, rising oil price and unchanged interest rates have led to an increase in the DXY index. So, it is inevitable that gold and other assets will come under pressure.

In my opinion, the pressure on gold price is only temporary, and if oil prices remain high for a longer period and inflation rises again. Gold will soon return to an upward trend.

I will talk about it simply because we all know that in every war, its price increases and the first countries to take the lead in it are China and America, due to which the price of gold increases. But this time it did not happen because America has neither bought nor sold gold, due to which we have not seen any changes in gold, nor has any other country benefited from it. On the contrary, cryptocurrency is weak in war, but this time it did not happen and Cryptocurrency has gone up, which turned out to be a separate decision by each party. The increase in the price of gold is also important for us at this time, but it is better for us to see an increase in the price of cryptocurrency. At this time, there are no attacks from either side, due to which everything is normal now and this war has also had a very bad effect on the stock market and only Cryptocurrency has benefited from this war.

Gold has fallen below the support of $5k per ounce and as i type this, it is currently trading at $4,637 per ounce, while silver is trading at $71 an ounce. That is not the direction a lot of people expected precious metals to take, but this fall in price is definitely a reaction to the Feds decision to keep interest rate at its current level, with no rate cut in sight and a stronger U.S. dollar too.

That said, i don't think it would fall down to $4k, but there is a lot happening around the world to be sure of anything. The oil supply shock threatens global inflation and in all of this, the U.S. dollar is gaining strength. So i think many investors might actually prefer to hodl the U.S. dollar right now, instead of selling it for gold, while others take profit; which would cause further correction in price for the precious metal.

No one knows for sure why the gold price didn't rise in these conditions, even though it had previously reached its all-time high. This also indicates a slight short-term difference, indicating that something that could previously have driven prices up is not happening now. What needs to be understood is not just about storing value, but also why an asset doesn't rise as usual during a war, as people shift their money into that asset. Global economic uncertainty and the effects of previous peaks could be one of the triggers for the stagnation of gold prices.

Referring to the strengthening USD, this could be one of the reasons why gold prices are currently stagnant. Gold remains in a bearish trend due to the effects of ongoing political tensions, or other factors could also be contributing to the current lack of price increases and this is as difficult to predict as what happened with bitcoin.
