The trend of gold actually hides certain patterns.

After analyzing the charts, it becomes clear that gold's time symmetry is remarkably consistent—each major wave (whether sideways or upward) takes about 82 to 91 monthly candles to complete, roughly translating to around 7 years. The point at the end of 2022 marked the tail end of the previous cycle, and we are now entering the acceleration phase of the large cycle from 2023 to 2030. Therefore, gold is not random; it follows this rhythm, and we are currently riding the "main upward wave."

Even more interesting is the astonishing similarity in history. The trend in 2004 is almost a template for now—both are the first accelerations after long-term platforms are broken, with a retracement to the purple line but without falling below it, followed by a large bullish candle. If history truly repeats itself, gold may not be near the end yet but instead has entered a "parabolic acceleration" phase.

From a technical perspective, the purple moving average line acts like the lifeline of gold. As long as the monthly candles stay above this line, any correction can be seen as a buying opportunity. Volume also has its nuances—recent trading volumes over the past two years surpass the peaks of 2011, indicating that the current rise is driven by large institutions like central banks and risk-averse funds, not retail investors' hype. Looking at the logarithmic scale, gold has broken through previous resistance zones, with little technical barriers remaining above, leaving only psychological thresholds.
