The dollar the biggest manipulation by the greedy who thinks that’s the only thing that matters. That the world revolves around paper instead of what it buys they go in debt over. That unlike gold and silver can go to zero and even negative.
Amongst other things some were reacting to a rumor that central banks stopped buying, they haven’t nor any known plans to stop.
Central banks are continuing to buy gold at a rapid pace in March 2026, driven by
de-dollarization strategies, geopolitical uncertainty, and a desire to diversify reserves. Projections suggest 2026 demand will remain high, between 750 and 900 tonnes, with notable activity from China, Russia, India, and Turkey.

Key Developments in March 2026:
Persistent Demand: Despite a potential slowdown in early 2026, the long-term trend of, and rationale for, central bank gold accumulation remains strong.
Specific Actors: The Democratic Republic of Congo’s central bank is increasing its gold reserves, using a state-owned trader for acquisitions. China’s central bank has continued purchasing for 16 consecutive months as of March 2026.
Diversification Methods: The Bank of Korea announced plans in Q1 2026 to incorporate gold ETFs into its portfolio, signaling new methods for central banks to hold gold.
Market Impact: The sustained, high-volume buying by central banks acts as a “floor” for gold prices, which have seen significant, record-setting increases.

This ongoing accumulation is part of a structural shift away from U.S. dollar-denominated assets.

Silver. select central banks have begun purchasing or accumulating silver as of 2025-2026, marking a significant shift from decades of focusing solely on gold. Russia, India, and Saudi Arabia are noted for initiating or increasing their silver holdings for diversification, strategic reserves, and as a sanction-proof asset.

Key Players: The Russian central bank has explicitly added silver to its reserves
. Saudi Arabia has invested in silver through ETFs
. Reports indicate China is buying silver directly from Latin American miners
.
Motivations: Driven by growing economic uncertainty, geopolitical risks, and the need to diversify away from USD holdings.
Significance: While gold remains the primary reserve asset, this move indicates a potential resurgence of silver as a monetary, not just industrial, asset.
Market Impact: Despite these moves, central banks are still not buying silver on the same massive scale as gold, but their entry into the market is adding to existing supply deficits.

Although this trend is growing, it is still in its early stages compared to the massive gold-buying spree that has seen over 1,000 tonnes purchased annually by central banks since 2022.
Rumors during selling Central banks stopped buying. False they may slow here and there but not have stopped.
Central banks are primarily buying, not selling, gold as of early 2026, driven by a long-term strategic pivot to diversify reserves, hedge against inflation, and manage geopolitical risks. While some central banks (e.g., Uzbekistan, Thailand) have occasionally sold to lock in high prices, the overall trend is net purchasing, with banks like Poland planning significant acquisitions.

Key Trends and Reasons:
Persistent Buying: Central bank gold purchases have continued to be robust, often described as a “golden pivot” rather than a temporary reaction, with high buying rates sustained into 2026.
Geopolitical Hedging: Rising geopolitical tensions and sanctions risks have driven banks to prefer gold, which has no counterparty risk and cannot be frozen by foreign governments.
Reserve Diversification: Many banks, particularly in emerging markets, are diversifying away from U.S. dollar reserves.
Occasional Selling: Sales are rare, usually performed by gold-producing nations (like Uzbekistan) taking advantage of record-high prices to generate liquidity.

Central banks generally view gold as a crucial, secure, and liquid asset, making large-scale selling unlikely in the current economic climate.
With war being a bit bearish something bullish currently going on for now. 1 min 1hr Day has three white soldiers ” down the road bullish” ‘ last one so far if holds and middle candle is a bullish hammer candle taking out bears and the bulls stops to buyers coming in.
The monthly shows a perfect top line and the daily shows a bull flag building, to creat the power to break above the top line
Here is the Daily
Here we can see a classic I H&S…we have 5 waves up then 3 down, ending at a near perfect 38 %…..once we break up that top line will go….with a target of @ 170
My wife’s tumour was immune to chemo, bromocrytpine (from memory) had minimal results in a minority of patients – not all tumours are the same. But, that was 30 years ago! If there’s a second hand car salesman pushing a new therapy and we need it, we’ll listen.
A tanker passed Hormuz on Sunday, but I don’t the nationality of anything. But Monday a Greek ship carrying Saudi oil to India went through. That’s why everything reversed. So Iran’s weapons capability seems under control. Which means nothing as far as the actual war is concerned if regime change is the objective. The new leader is a war veteran from the Iraq/Iran eight year war. His wife (well, one of them anyway) was killed in an Israeli air attack, as was his father, he’s an IRGC approved replacement and possibly more hard line than his father. You’ve got approaching a million IRGC soldiers and stooges embedded in the population; think of it as North Korea lite, who will keep the peasants in order because that gives them their privileges. In addition you have the regular armed forces. Presumably the IRGC guys are all hard core islamic militants or they wouldn’t have the job. So regime change without a land war in Asia is impossible. Actually, even with a land war it’s highly improbable. Trump has blasted Putin for not winning his war Special Operation quickly – ha! let’s see how he goes against a country on their territory (which is totally unforgiving) against a population which has a large percentage of govt. sympathisers. You won’t be welcomed with roses in guns like in Europe.
Re Israel Oil fields…….If I remember correctly Tousi nTV was saying both the US and Israel hit the Oil installations….I find it very hard to imagine Israel acted without consultation…as such a move would have a huge impact…..The Daily Mail…..is a click bait paper, they also hate Trump.
Trump furious at Israel for destroying Iran oil fields as crude surges and planned summit collapses
Donald Trump is furious after Israel targeted Iran’s oil depots in a blitz that shocked the White House amid soaring oil prices.
A planned summit between the US and Israel was scrapped on Monday in the first open disagreement between the allies since the war broke out.
Thirty Iranian fuel depots were obliterated over the weekend with apocalyptic images showing fires leaping into the sky, huge columns of smoke, and black oily rain falling from the sky.
IMHO, has their fingerprints all over today’s action…….the ponzi game needs to keep going.
Ive been lightly buying on dips for the past several months, but I’m going to hold off and start to buy again once I see upward recoveries start in earnest……FWIW
There is a knew technique, that uses vaccination/injections…I know someone who used it…..he was one of six, the only one to survive and shrink the tumours to zero …no invasive surgery…he didn’t feel great, but he is sill with us 5 or more years later and doing fine……
The commies in DC have done an exceptional job of dumbing down the public … that said … because of the increasing existential threat DC is becoming … droves of people are waking up now … and this will spill over into the markets as things unfold …
