Recently, some people have said that the market trends of gold and Bitcoin are just emotional hype. I have to say, this judgment is off.
From a fundamental perspective, the Federal Reserve's rate cut cycle has become clear, which directly suppresses real interest rates. When interest rates decline, the opportunity cost of holding assets that do not generate interest (such as gold and Bitcoin, which are safe-haven assets) decreases, naturally increasing their attractiveness. At the same time, the US dollar index is also under pressure, making dollar-denominated assets cheaper. This is not just emotion; it is the real transmission of monetary policy.
Looking at supply and demand, global central banks have been buying gold over the past few years, and official reserve demand has long become a solid support for prices—central banks buy in large quantities, over long cycles, and are not afraid of volatility, which is completely different from retail investors' quick in-and-out trading. On the supply side, the increase in mined gold is limited, exploration costs are rising, and the mining cycle is lengthening, making it impossible to fill the demand gap. The hard constraints on supply are enough to support the price center moving upward.
Uncertainty in geopolitical situations and uneven economic recovery further strengthen the dual demand for safe-haven and inflation hedging. There may be short-term adjustments, but the medium-term bullish logic remains unchanged. This is the market voting with real money.

Yes, this logic is indeed solid, and the central bank's continuous gold hoarding is truly a strong support.

Central bank gold purchases, interest rate cuts cycle, US dollar depreciation... this chain of logic is indeed solid and much more reliable than simple speculation.

The central bank is frantically hoarding gold, while retail investors are still tangled in emotional speculation. The logic is way off.

Well, the fact that the central bank is aggressively buying gold is indeed crucial; retail investors simply can't compete with this scale.

The central bank is hoarding gold, while retail investors are still struggling with emotional issues. The gap is this big.

The central bank is desperately buying gold, while retail investors are still caught up in emotional speculation. Wake up, everyone.
Supply side is blocked, and interest rates are being pushed down. Can the logic be any clearer?
Short-term volatility is normal, but in the medium term, the bull market has no way to run. It's that simple.

The central bank's gold purchase is correct; retail investors following the trend and long-term institutional allocations are completely different matters, and this logic holds up.
