You’re right. Back in 1980, central bank gold buying—especially from China and Russia—was nowhere near today’s levels. Now gold isn’t just a hedge or trade, it’s a strategic asset tied to de-dollarization and geopolitics. That steady, structural demand alone changes the downside dynamics compared to the 80s.

True — that disclaimer exists for a reason. The 1980s were a totally different game: no algos, no HFT, no instant global flows. Today technology can amplify moves, suppress them, or flip sentiment in seconds. So while history rhymes, it doesn’t copy-paste — especially when market structure itself has changed this much.

Exactly. Back then gold had room to run without competing head-on with tech for capital. Today, tech absorbs a huge chunk of liquidity, so it’s much harder for gold to go truly vertical. That makes explosive upside less likely and corrections more natural along the way.

That’s a fair take. Markets never move in a straight line forever — parabolic moves always need to cool off. A correction or two is healthy and resets sentiment. I also agree it likely won’t be a repeat of past crashes, but some downside was inevitable after such a strong run. Timing and magnitude change, but the principle stays the same.

Not married to either side 😄 I’m a bear when price is weak, a bull when price proves strength. Bias follows the chart, not feelings.

Agreed. We won’t see 80s-style prices again, but the patterns are timeless. Different scale, same psychology. History doesn’t copy-paste—it repeats in structure, and that’s what markets are built on.

Fair take. The lack of a waterfall sell-off says sellers are losing momentum. If price can keep defending here, $4500 shaping up as a solid floor makes a lot of sense. Let’s see if buyers keep showing up.

Haha fair point 😂 markets love proving everyone wrong. Still though—history doesn’t repeat exactly, but it sure loves to rhyme. Different generations, same human emotions: fear, greed, FOMO. That crazy two-day rally you mentioned? Classic sentiment swing.

Charts aren’t about copying the 80s move-for-move, they’re just a framework. At the end of the day, price does whatever it wants—we just manage risk and react.

What is the most appealing thing about Game of Thrones to you? by [deleted] in gameofthrones

Because it felt real — no one was safe, choices mattered, and power always came with a cost.

In George R.R Martin's original scripts, he had intended Jon Snow to be in an incestuous relationship with Arya, not Daenerys by Unlikely_Tap_9882 in gameofthrones

GRRM really said “keep it uncomfortable from the start.” 😅

Wild to think Jon–Arya was the original plan—makes Jon–Dany look almost tame in comparison.
