Gold Price - Where is it heading?

But what is gold hinged on if not currency gg? I can't think the way you do. No other country or currency will take over USD. US and his buddies will rule for a long time to come
I probably should have qualified my previous answer @eskys

It is all a joke.

It really is.

Forget about the currencies is what I do, and just concentrate on Gold. ( In $USD until the Chinese, Russians , Japanese, Bantu or some other mob take over )

I don't trade forex, I do change AUD in to USD and back again frequently as I have a cigar money stock only trading account with IG with which I trade both US and AU stocks. I've had it for 3-4 years and it is presently down about 2%. It has been as high as 25% positive. It's money I can afford to lose and great fun when I wake up in the middle of the night or see something on ASF that makes me go hmmmmmm.

So in a way I follow the AUD/USD and this is reflected in my Gold holdings in $AUD.

My pattern recently has been :

Buy Gold when Gold is down in $USD and sell when it marches past significant resistance in $USD, as in those $2000 bursts in recent times. ( I also sold some aussie Gold miners on those bursts, but only hold a US miner atm. )

My reasoning is that the difference in the forex is not as great as the gain in $AUD, nor is the fall in price of Gold in $AUD as great as in $USD when it falls.

Also in my real world ( not my cigar money world ) I use Gold as long term physical holdings (bar), and in my SMSF Stock Portfolio as an insurance policy against somebody like Cousin Putin starting a world war ( not that it is likely to happen ) and a crash occurring in the market.

Gold is not a get rich quick experience in my experience. It requires patience and an appetite for risk and loss in the short term.

I'm undecided what to do when Gold goes over $USD2000 next time, although my sentiment atm. is to hold as I believe it will go much further on the third attempt.

I agree that it will be a big mountain to climb to dislodge the $USD as the defacto reserve currency. I have in fact some notes in that currency stashed should Cousin Putin forget to take his medications some night.

you are probably better of buying a good metal detector , and go for a slow walk alone the beach or any other places with loose soil/sand ( regularly )
 
Thank you for your reply, gg, and an insightful one at that.

I didn't trade gold for a very long time until last year, so a new comer to this metal in a way. Learning new things all the time......and what a better way to learn from someone like yourself with years of experience in this metal.

Agree that gold doesn't drop much in AUD (only noticed that recently and today. I forgot to check the price of gold in AUD yesterday or the day before) I told myself that I have to start following gold in AUD a few weeks ago but have since forgotten what I thought was a good idea.

POG went up last night and not all gold stocks went up as good as I had hoped.....mine is dragging her feet.....

Good luck with your trades, and have a great weekend, so glad it's the end of week..........rest well, gg, everyone.......
 
Almost a year ago POG broke above its pennant formation and got within a whisker of its 2020 high.
Then, like Russia at Kyiv's doorstep, it was subsequently decimated from March onwards.
Presently it's trading slightly above its 5 year trend and I have shaded a "purple patch" for it to run to.
That might not be too soon though, as it has to add another $155 to reach its former glory.
With many speculators burnt by crypto, gold is again looking like the safe haven it has always been.
As noted by @InsvestoBoy's earlier post, POG in AUD terms is also shining, so we just need that gloss to rub off on our miners.

 

… and yet Bitcoin has risen from 16K to 23K in the past nearly 2 months.

I was waiting for crypto capitulation but it seems there are still plenty who love the stuff.

I don’t get it.
