What's next for gold?

Here's the technical analysis view from J-C Parets: "After spending months coiling beneath the 423.6% Fibonacci extension, Gold futures are now resolving higher. This has been the pattern time and time again. Gold pauses at an extension level, builds energy, then launches to the next target. Every one of those continuation patterns has marked the beginning of another leg higher, and this one looks no different. As long as this breakout sticks, we think 4,500 is next".

Gold just hit all-time highs, 100 times the $35 it was in 1971 when Nixon closed the gold window

"The metal itself hasn’t changed; it’s still atomic number 79, the same as thousands of years ago. What changed is the dollar. Once it was tied to gold, now it floats, weakened by inflation and endless deficits. That’s why it takes over 100x more dollars to buy the same ounce". Source: StockMarket.News @_Investinq on X
