Good morning. Central banks are some of the biggest gold buyers in the world. In fact, countries hold over 35,000 metric tons of gold in reserves and the U.S. alone holds about 8,133 tons, most of it stored in Fort Knox.

Gold isn’t just a chart, it’s a policy tool. When confidence shakes, central banks don’t sell gold… they collect it.

TRADER INSIGHTS

Gold prices are back in the spotlight.

The precious metal climbed to a two week high already this week trading above $4,100.

This market has now come back on my radar and here is how I'm applying my W.C.S method to it.

The “why” is all about interest rate expectations and fear.

Recent data shows cracks forming in the U.S. economy:

Together, these factors pushed traders to assign a 67% probability of a Fed rate cut in December (CME FedWatch).

When markets start to price in lower rates, gold shines.

Why? Because gold doesn’t yield interest when cash and bonds offer less, holding gold becomes more attractive.

Even the U.S. government shutdown drama has added to uncertainty, which fuels the bid for gold. Once that risk fades, focus returns to the Fed and the Fed looks ready to ease.

Volume has been built between $4035 and $3970, this zone could offer a zone of support moving forward.

If the price dips back towards this level and forms a bullish rejection with the price closing above the 50 moving average I will look to buy the dip here.

Targets could reach up to the previous swing highs.

Vanguard just projected public markets may return only 5% annually over the next decade. In a 2024 report, Goldman Sachs forecasted the S&P 500 may return just 3% annually for the same time frame—stats that put current valuations in the 7th percentile of history.

Translation? The gains we’ve seen over the past few years might not continue for quite a while.

Meanwhile, another asset class—almost entirely uncorrelated to the S&P 500 historically—has overall outpaced it for decades (1995-2024), according to Masterworks data.

Masterworks lets everyday investors invest in shares of multimillion-dollar artworks by legends like Banksy, Basquiat, and Picasso.

And they’re not just buying. They’re exiting—with net annualized returns like 17.6%, 17.8%, and 21.5% among their 23 sales.*

Wall Street won’t talk about this. But the wealthy already are. Shares in new offerings can sell quickly but…

MINDSET

Let’s be honest, slow markets are uncomfortable.

Not because the chart is unclear, but because we don’t like feeling inactive. Hence the burnt accounts 😄 LOL

When price moves slow, your brain starts whispering things like:

“Maybe I should just take something…” “This setup is close enough…” “A quick scalp won’t hurt…”

And that’s the trap.

Boredom doesn’t push you toward good trades, it pushes you toward activity for the sake of activity.

Let’s break this down properly.

When nothing is happening, your mind starts dressing up average price movement as a setup. You start forcing patterns, forcing entries, and calling hope analysis. That’s not trading, that’s searching.

Familiar? Because most if not all traders have experienced that somehow

If you need to justify or argue with yourself about the trade, it’s already wrong.

Real setups don’t need convincing. They punch you in the face, clean, simple, confident.

Every great traders you look up to? They trade less, not more.

They wait for the market to show intention. They don’t get paid for doing something,they get paid for doing the right thing at the right time.

Feeling bored means the market is not ready.

No signal = no trade. Simple. The work is in respecting that simplicity.

If you’re bored today, step away.

Don’t stare harder. Don’t “just take one.” Don’t try to manufacture something.

The market doesn’t reward effort. It rewards timing. Your edge isn’t how often you trade, it’s how well you wait.

If nothing is clear, nothing is required from you.

Just go breathe.

Come back when price is speaking again.

You don’t need more trades. You need better ones.

I say this from my 8 years trading experience and witnessing a bunch of traders doing the same thing.
