Wait... everything I read said oil and gold were pumping today. Then I actually checked the charts. 📉
Turns out markets don't always follow the script:
• Gold? Down 2.3% to $4,877 .
• Silver? Dropped 4.1% to $73.49 .
• Oil? Edged lower as Iran talks began .
Meanwhile, Bitcoin hovers near $68K, down 1% today but quietly surviving while traditional safe havens stumble .
Ironically,
The US and Iran are talking in Geneva. Diplomacy is happening. But the military buildup continues. B-2 bombers. Strait of Hormuz drills. 65% chance of US action by April, some analysts say .
So markets are confused. Are we de-escalating? Or just pausing?
What I'm watching is:
Sometimes the "obvious" trade isn't obvious at all. Gold was supposed to moon. It didn't. Oil was supposed to spike. It dipped.
Crypto's sitting here like the quiet kid in class who ends up winning the science fair.
No predictions. Just observing that markets love making experts look silly. 🍿
Markets are just going crazy. No real trend, no confirmations.
Might make some sick and tired.
