EXPOSED:

GOLD DROPPED 20%+ DURING WAR AND CHAOS. SUPPOSED TO SKYROCKET.
Everyone called it a “safe haven.”
War in the Middle East, OIL rising, inflation, unstable economy.
Gold should have been unstoppable.
Instead? GOLD in Bear market
Over 23% drop from ATH.
Who sold? Probably the same private banks and funds that built the narrative
J.P. Morgan
Goldman Sachs
Deutsche Bank
Targets were $6+K Retail jumped in at peak hype.
Meanwhile:
- Central and private banks had already stacked gold years before at prices below 3K
- Price had already run +50%
- Positioning was crowded
The playbook is brutal:
Accumulate low → create FOMO → push safe haven story → dump on retail
Gold isn’t a “safe haven” anymore.
It’s a tool for manipulation, and right now retail is the exit liquidity. Even gold is now a speculative asset
This isn’t speculation. It’s a repeatable cycle.
And it just played out again perfectly.
