#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.
1ď¸âŁ 1980 â The Classic Blow-Off
â Gold hit ~$850/oz.
â Euphoria everywhere.
â Result: 40%-60% crash over several years, wiping out late buyers.
2ď¸âŁ 2011 â âOnce in a Generationâ
â Peaked near $1,920/oz.
â Multi-year run fueled by debt fears & money printing.
â Result: ~43% decline over 4 years. Sentiment swung from mania to despair.
3ď¸âŁ 2020 â Slow Burn Correction
â Topped ~$2,075/oz.
â Dropped 20%-25% into 2022, but long consolidation caused opportunity cost to mount.
THE LESSON:
After 60%-85% rallies, gold usually:
â Pulls back 20%-40%
â Moves sideways for years
â Digests gains slowly
Parabolic rallies feel permanent, invite FOMO, and often end with sharp resets.
Gold is a wealth protectorâbut not a straight-line winner. Understanding history isnât bearishâitâs realistic.
đ˘ Major tops and bottoms repeat. 2026 could be another turning point. Stay alert.
