Big boys need time to scoop up cheap dollars before the hole is plugged. The manipulation is always present and bashing the USD on this site is proof they're doing business as usual. Turning a giant shipping container fleet around takes some time but it is and the draw on liquidity is manufactured to that end. The golddotcom era will will be remembered the same way as the internet.com 25 years ago. They're doing the same scenario to bitcoin in reverse. Stop falling for that card tricks again and again. Big boys don't accumulate positions at tops in the market. Rocket science ... here it is. Buy low, sell high.

The liquidity crisis in the US banking system is becoming more and more apparent. Over the last 5 business days before the new year, more than $50 billion was poured into banks. And in total, 74 billion was poured in in December! And if you consider that the Fed started buying bonds at the rate of 40 billion per month, then in total it is already 114 billion. In annual terms, this is almost $1.4 trillion (this does not take into account the growth in REPO dynamics). Therefore, 2026 may be a stressful year for the banking system. We will watch. Be...

In this situation, I believe gold will continue to rise. Gold is not dependent on corporate profits and benefits from monetary expansion and periods of distrust in banks. We are seeing a "stress background" and emergency injections to ensure the system's survival.
Once liquidity becomes long-term, that is, when the Fed moves to official QE, then stocks will start to rise.

What scenario will benefit institutional players best while beating up the the little guys? The transfer of wealth from 'dumb money' to 'smart money' is nothing new. The 'Gold Rush' whenever they are damn good and ready will end after killing it loading up on short positions. Guess whose buying bitcoin "like never seen before" while the inverse of gold is alive and well. As TJR puts it in one of his videos, "They are all a bunch of greedy mother fuc*ers". lol
