S&P 500 holds near highs, but Fed cuts could spark short-term volatility before medium-term bullish momentum resumes.
Right now, I’m sitting on over $57,000 in profit from long positions on gold (GLD). That’s not a flex—it’s a testament to what can happen when you stay systematic and follow the fundamentals.
Lately, we’ve seen pressure mounting across several major asset classes:
This isn’t just a blip—it reflects deeper uncertainty in the macro environment. Trade negotiations are stalling. Alliances are being tested. There's concern about what's next for the U.S. economy and its role in the global landscape.
And in the middle of all this, gold is quietly doing its job. When investors get nervous, they often look for safety—and that’s where gold shines. It's long been considered a hedge against both market volatility and monetary instability. When traditional assets falter, gold steps up as both a safe haven and a reliable store of value.
This recent move in gold didn’t catch me off guard.
The EdgeFinder—our data-driven analysis tool—has been highlighting bullish fundamentals for gold since February 6th. For those watching the data, the case has been building for months.
Here’s what we’ve been tracking:
Seasonality data has shown that this time of year tends to be historically bullish for gold.
COT (Commitment of Traders) reports continue to show heavy institutional interest—major players aren’t just trading gold, they’re holding it.
Inflation pressures are easing, which gives the Federal Reserve more room to cut rates.
And with oil prices falling, the likelihood of easing monetary policy only grows—an environment that typically supports metals and weakens the dollar.
None of this is guesswork. It’s what the data has been telling us.
One of the biggest advantages I’ve had in this trade isn’t timing or gut feeling—it’s having a systematic way to process information.
The EdgeFinder isn’t about predicting the future. It’s about equipping you with the tools to interpret real-world data: economic reports, sentiment trends, institutional activity, and more.
Too many traders make decisions based on headlines or hype. But when you have something that cuts through the noise and shows you how key data points align, your confidence goes up—and so does your consistency.
That’s what we built the EdgeFinder for: to give traders a real edge based on what actually moves markets.
The goal isn’t to chase headlines or gut feelings. It’s to let the data lead. When you do that, you’re not just reacting—you’re anticipating. Gold is a perfect example of how fundamentals can guide smart, profitable decisions.
So here’s the takeaway:
Stop leaving money on the table.
Start tracking what really matters.
Ignore the data at your own peril.
