Gold Shows Strength Even In Drop

The mainstream narrative was that gold had a massive drop and revealed a fundamental weakness that was not accounted for by investors with a high risk appetite as it shot towards $6000 an ounce. Gold did experience a major downward price shift, yet its limited extent proved that gold’s price increases here to stay. Even as the short-term environment was heavily against gold, it still stayed far above what it was even months ago. It’s very easy for people to forget that gold only hit $4000 a few months ago. While some of the recent increase in price was driven by investors taking a gamble, it has experienced a structural shift already that cannot be overcome even in times of a downturn. Gold has shown strength by exhibiting that the floor is now much higher. Gold’s rapid bounce back also gives critics evidence that rises are long lasting and drops are temporary. The recent drop has simply given more evidence that gold’s higher price is not a bubble, but a reflection of reality that is here to stay.

Even when negative sentiment and large sell offs occurred, gold stabilized to hundreds of dollars higher than it had been just a few months ago. This signals two important things: the volume of gold owned both institutionally and by the public had greatly increased since the last time gold had had a downward spike, and it also signaled that recent gold buyers have high confidence in gold’s long-term trajectory. Even large daily drops couldn’t scare people off from their high investment in gold. This role as a high conviction asset is one of the things that will not only propel gold’s growth forward but also lock in price progress in a way not seen with many speculative assets. Even with the large selloff, the stability found in the mid four thousands suggested that the volume of gold owned by Central Banks and other less reactive institutions had significantly increased since even the third quarter of 2025. Just like any asset, price momentum can create spikes beyond what is sustainable long-term, but the trajectory, even when the spikes are cut off, is still sharply upward. If gold had dropped below 4000, it would be much easier to make the case that the structural replacement of dollars with gold had slowed and the recent spike had been primarily investors who were as ready to pull their money out as they were to put it in. The stability even in a time of decrease suggests that gold’s use value and the amount of investors highly convinced of its long-term merits will not let it sink further.…
