#GOLD has skyrocketed 85% in the past year.
It feels unstoppable. Permanent. Different this time.
But history tells a warning: parabolic rallies eventually pay the price.
1️⃣ 1980 – The Classic Blow-Off
→ Gold hit ~$850/oz.
→ Euphoria everywhere.
→ Result: 40%-60% crash over several years, wiping out late buyers.
2️⃣ 2011 – “Once in a Generation”
→ Peaked near $1,920/oz.
→ Multi-year run fueled by debt fears & money printing.
→ Result: ~43% decline over 4 years. Sentiment swung from mania to despair.
3️⃣ 2020 – Slow Burn Correction
→ Topped ~$2,075/oz.
→ Dropped 20%-25% into 2022, but long consolidation caused opportunity cost to mount.
THE LESSON:
After 60%-85% rallies, gold usually:
→ Pulls back 20%-40%
→ Moves sideways for years
→ Digests gains slowly
Parabolic rallies feel permanent, invite FOMO, and often end with sharp resets.
Gold is a wealth protector—but not a straight-line winner. Understanding history isn’t bearish—it’s realistic.
📢 Major tops and bottoms repeat. 2026 could be another turning point. Stay alert.
