Recently, the surge in precious metals has indeed been quite fierce, which seems somewhat abnormal. Next year's inflationary pressure appears to be more difficult to contain than expected.

Here's a rule to remember: the more aggressive the price increase, the more severe the correction might be. Historical experience often unfolds this way.

So instead of greedily chasing the last bit of profit, it's better to get out early. Especially when prices are high, never try to catch falling knives that look like they are about to collapse. The feeling of being trapped, only those who have experienced it know. Protecting your principal often tests a trader's mindset more than pursuing extreme gains.

The recent surge in precious metals can't really be sustained; it feels like a sell-off is coming. Take profits early and secure your gains, don't wait until the price drops to regret it.

Precious metals this wave is indeed outrageous. Brothers who bought at high prices are probably having a hard time sleeping now. --- To put it simply, don't be greedy. Take profits when you see gains. Everyone understands this principle, but few can do it. --- History always repeats itself. The more violently it rises, the harder it crashes. Leaving early is not shameful. --- Inflation expectations are a tricky thing. It's better to be conservative. --- Taking the hit is equivalent to suicide. The principal is the key. This time, I’ve learned to be smart.

Precious metals have indeed surged sharply this time, but I think this is just the beginning; the real slaughter happens during the pullback. History repeats itself over and over again, and the greedy ones are all buried. --- What happened to those who took the hit at high levels? Don’t you have a clue? I wouldn’t dare to gamble. --- Instead of waiting to cry when it crashes down, it’s better to run now. Capital is the key. --- Signals that inflation cannot be contained are becoming more and more obvious, but that doesn’t mean precious metals will keep rising. Think in reverse. --- Watch out brothers who are jealous of the gains; when the correction comes, you’ll see what “being ruthless” really means.

Precious metals have indeed surged sharply this time, but what I’m more worried about are those greedy people getting caught off guard and suffering the consequences... I’ve said it before, never gamble on the last wave, really. --- If inflation can’t be contained, then we need to be even more cautious. Chasing highs at this point is just pure giving away your money. There are only a few patterns in history, repeatedly playing out. --- Honestly, seeing so many people stubbornly holding on at high levels makes me sweat for them. Selling out really isn’t shameful; staying alive is the real winner. --- Girl, those who are greedy for the last ten percent often lose fifty percent. Understand? Protecting your principal is more important than anything else; that’s the true essence of the game. --- I have a feeling that next year’s inflation will be worse than expected. By then, precious metals might not necessarily be safe havens; they could actually suffer the worst. Stay alert.

Precious metals have indeed surged ridiculously this time, but what I fear more is the moment of correction. History really loves to repeat itself, and those who get caught are just cannon fodder. I think there are already plenty of signals indicating a top. Instead of waiting for the final remnants, it's better to come out and breathe now. Protecting the principal is the top priority; everything else is nonsense. This round of rise has been too fierce, and a price must be paid. If inflation continues to ferment next year, everything will explode. It's safer to hold onto the principal. Those who bought in at high levels are probably already starting to feel uncomfortable. Isn't it better to exit early? Why insist on chasing those tiny gains? Inflation really can't be contained anymore, and precious metals might still have some turbulence ahead. But I truly don't believe in the current logic of bottom-fishing at this stage.

The recent surge in precious metals is indeed a bit outrageous, but the real problem is... most people are waiting for the last wave, only to get caught just before dawn. I've seen too many people, their eyes shining at the moment they buy in high, and three months later, their accounts are so green they turn black.

Precious metals have indeed surged fiercely this time, but I am more concerned about the inflation expectations behind it. It seems the central bank might need to clarify their stance. Brothers who bought in at high levels, you really need to learn your lesson. No matter how tempting the knife looks, don't force it down. Capital safety is the top priority; otherwise, any gains are just illusions. Taking profits early is not shameful; being deeply trapped is truly painful. This wave of precious metals has risen too quickly, and it feels like a correction is coming. Instead of betting on the last wave, it's better to cash out early. Preserving profits is the most important. If inflation can't be contained, there's still room to play later, but the premise is that you need to survive until then. History keeps repeating itself: when prices rise sharply, they fall just as hard—no exceptions.

Precious metals have really surged this time... But on the other hand, I still believe more in the future of on-chain assets. Old-fashioned things like gold will eventually be surpassed.
