Appetite: Why Gold Still Matters<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"9443\" data-end=\"9548\">Interestingly, Soloway has turned <strong data-start=\"9477\" data-end=\"9510\">short-term bullish on Bitcoin<\/strong>, even after previously being bearish.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"9550\" data-end=\"9675\">His thesis? A technical reversal could carry Bitcoin higher in the near term before broader market weakness reasserts itself.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"9677\" data-end=\"9799\">He also sees the possibility of a short-term bounce in risk assets before a more significant downturn in the stock market.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"1gnbiwr\" data-start=\"9801\" data-end=\"9825\">His broader concern:<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"9826\" data-end=\"9952\">The <strong data-start=\"9830\" data-end=\"9841\">S&amp;P 500<\/strong> may still be in a topping process, with the potential for another meaningful drawdown before the cycle resets.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"9954\" data-end=\"10035\">That matters for precious metals investors because it reinforces a crucial point:<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"10037\" data-end=\"10098\"><strong data-start=\"10037\" data-end=\"10098\">Not all rallies are healthy. Not all recoveries are real.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"10100\" data-end=\"10152\">Markets can levitate while fundamentals deteriorate.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"10154\" data-end=\"10214\">That\u2019s exactly why physical gold and silver remain relevant.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"10216\" data-end=\"10243\">They are not just \u201ctrades.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"10245\" data-end=\"10289\">They are a rejection of the assumption that:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"10290\" data-end=\"10435\">\n<li data-section-id=\"yluvvs\" data-start=\"10290\"

real conversation begins.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"10608\" data-end=\"10677\">Because Soloway\u2019s \u201cback up the truck\u201d moment is not just about price.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"10679\" data-end=\"10705\">It\u2019s about <strong data-start=\"10690\" data-end=\"10704\">conviction<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"10707\" data-end=\"10804\">And conviction in this environment means recognizing that there is a profound difference between:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"10805\" data-end=\"10855\">\n<li data-section-id=\"124720j\" data-start=\"10805\" data-end=\"10821\">Owning a

data-end=\"11222\">Policy mismanagement<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"11224\" data-end=\"11307\">For investors focused on <strong data-start=\"11249\" data-end=\"11272\">wealth preservation<\/strong>, that distinction is not academic.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"11309\" data-end=\"11340\">It is survival-level important.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"3c82xr\" data-start=\"11342\"

it\u2019s not reckless.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"11989\" data-end=\"12032\">He\u2019s not saying gold and silver are broken.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"12034\" data-end=\"12149\">He\u2019s saying they may need one more real washout before the market remembers <strong data-start=\"12110\" data-end=\"12148\">why they matter in the first place<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"12151\" data-end=\"12189\">That distinction could prove critical.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"12191\" data-end=\"12318\">Because if gold does revisit <strong data-start=\"12220\" data-end=\"12230\">$3,500<\/strong> and silver falls into the <strong data-start=\"12257\" data-end=\"12268\">$49\u2013$54<\/strong> zone, investors may be staring at something rare:<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"12320\" data-end=\"12440\"><strong data-start=\"12320\" data-end=\"12440\">A high-conviction entry point into real money\u2014just as confidence in the broader financial system continues to erode.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"12442\" data-end=\"12486\">The bigger risk may not be buying too early.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"12488\" data-end=\"12568\">It may be waiting until the next crisis makes the case obvious to everyone else.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"12570\" data-end=\"12631\">And by then, the price of protection may look very different.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"12633\"
