Disliked{quote} price went straight up for two years so why cant it fall for two straight?Ignored
for it to drop for two straight years, all three of those need to actually reverse, not just cool off for a quarter.
a correction inside an uptrend and the start of an actual bear market look identical in the first few months. difference only shows up later, in whether the structural buyers stick around or bail. central banks buying gold don't usually turn around and dump it in 6 months, that's not how reserve accumulation works.
so yeah it can fall for two years.
question is whether the stuff that pushed it up for two years is actually broken, or if this is just people getting shaken out before the next leg.
