      Is the Main Downwave Here?! Don’t Be a Permabear — Know When to Lock In Gains

      Recent capital flows in the financial markets paint quite an intriguing picture. While everyone is still watching to see if US stocks have peaked or will continue to surge, massive funds have quietly executed a major rotation. In today's note, I will use the latest market fund data to discuss these ongoing trend changes. Let me start with the conclusion: the current downward trend in U.S. stocks may not have actually ended, but until the S&P 500 posts a pullback of more than 8%, we should not preemptively assume this is a massive bear market. We can consider carefully building short positions, but once key market signals appear, we must take profits promptly and adjust our bearish view. $S&P 500(.SPX)$

      According to Iranian media reports, shipping through the Strait of Hormuz was at one point completely disrupted. The U.S. also launched a new round of strikes against Iran, pushing oil prices higher. This time, gold wasn't acting as a safe haven. It was acting as an ATM. When markets need liquidity, investors often sell what they can — and gold is one of the easiest assets to monetize.

      I would hold off adding positions for now. If the hawkishness in tech still in play, ppl would still ignore commodities. Will wait till GLD break its previous support at around $200+.

      Still too early to pick up the falling knife. The drop is just the beginning, we will continue to see the swings in prices. Some small recovery will happen as traders need to earn. Quick swing trades will cause the gold price fluctuate. I will continue to wait for another low before buy in some.

      🌟🌟Buy Gold now or a falling knife?  It is a fundamental gift.  Why?  If I wait to buy Gold at 4,500 means I am buying at the top of the market.  That is the time when the media is cheering but Gold is expensive. Buy now when it is deeply oversold. Global central banks are still buying real physical gold bullion at the fastest pace. This heavy buying creates an unassailable defensive floor beneath Gold's 6 month low. Gold's safe haven role is completely intact.  Gold is not a speculative tech stock.  It is financial insurance. Gold ETFs vs alternatives:  I vote Gold ETFs as it is the most efficient choice.  I like $Gold Trust Ishares(IAU)$ as it gives me instant liquidity & tight trading spreads.  E

      It depends on whether you want to hold Gold as long or short-term. For short term buyer, this is definitely less encouraging as the fall is real. However,  it's definitely a good tool to leverage on for long term buyers, as it serves as a reliable hedge against inflation and currency devaluation. I view the recent drop as there will likely be higher Fed rate and possible stronger US dollars for the fact of high inflation in the US. When US offers higher interest rate, then it's reasonable for ppl to cash out into interest bearing bond, rather than 0% interest Gold. In addition it could be a seasonal correction in June and going through technical correction due to the overbuying in 2025.

      I think the recent drop in gold is more about liquidity and positioning than a breakdown in its long-term role. In deleveraging phases, investors often sell liquid assets like gold to raise cash, so this feels more like short-term pressure from funding needs, rate expectations, and weak technicals rather than a loss of safe-haven demand. On timing, I’m not rushing in yet. I’d prefer to see some stabilization and a reclaim of the ~4,500 level before adding more meaningfully. For now, I still view this as a staggered accumulation zone rather than trying to pick the exact bottom, especially with macro uncertainty still in play. For exposure, I prefer gold ETFs like SPDR Gold ETF (GLD) for liquidity and simplicity. I also find DBS’s upcoming tokenized gold from DBS Group interesting for Singa

      Gold Hits New Low! While DBS Launches Tokenized Gold: Buy the Dip or Catch a Falling Knife?

      $XAU/USD(XAUUSD.FOREX)$ fell to its lowest level in more than six months on Thursday. After peaking around $5,500 per ounce in January, prices have steadily retreated and are now approaching key levels tracked by many trading desk models. And on the very same day, DBS announced plans to launch tokenized physical gold for Singapore retail investors in 2H 2026. One side is falling. The other is launching a brand-new product. So what's really going on? Why has gold fallen from 5,500? According to Iranian media reports, shipping through the Strait of Hormuz was at one point completely disrupted. The U.S. also launched a new round of strikes against Iran, pushing oil prices higher. This time, gold wasn't acting as a safe haven.

      I'd focus less on the round number itself and more on why gold is failing to rally despite geopolitical tension. Traditionally, a Strait of Hormuz risk event would support gold. If gold is weakening anyway, it suggests other forces, such as higher real yields, a stronger US dollar, or profit-taking after a strong run, are outweighing the safe-haven bid. For investors: Scaling in gradually near major support can be reasonable if gold is a long-term portfolio diversifier. Going all-in simply because of the $4,000 level is risky. Round numbers often attract attention but are not magic floors. For traders: A decisive break below $4,000 with strong volume would be a warning sign that sellers remain in control. A successful defence of $4,000 followed by improving momentum would provide a more co

      Gold at $4,000: The Safe Haven That Failed. Time to Buy the Failure?

      Here is the most uncomfortable chart in markets right now. The US and Iran are exchanging strikes. The Strait of Hormuz is disrupted. Oil is above $90. By every textbook, gold should be screaming higher. Instead, gold futures touched an intraday low of $4,047, pressing against the psychologically critical $4,000 level, down roughly 27% from its January all-time high of $5,589. Gold's worst monthly drop since 2008 happened in March, during the most serious Middle East escalation in decades. The safe haven failed exactly when it was supposed to work. So before anyone buys this dip, you need to understand why it failed. Because the answer determines whether $4,000 is a generational entry or a trapdoor. Why the Safe Haven Failed The mechanism is counterintuitive but logical once you see it. Wh

      A Stronger Dollar Could Be the Next Headwind for Risk Assets,Especially Bitcoin

      When you have a basic forecast for financial market trends, waiting for that prediction to materialize is often the most agonizing part. My recent source of anxiety stems from a potential intermediate-term top in the US stock market. Because the historically predictable impulse rally of the US Dollar Index might materialize within the next month, US equities and other risk assets could face downward pressure from a strong dollar, triggering a correction. Although this drawdown might not be massive, if we mindlessly maintain a "permabull" stance, we could suffer short-term losses. Watch for Technical Bearish Divergence According to our historical backtesting, the probability of US stocks delivering positive returns over the next three months is currently at its lowest, and a substantial dra
