#Strategy加仓BTC Investment guru warns: Gold is not at the bottom, wait for a 20% drop before considering buying



Gold's recent surge has been fierce—marking the strongest annual performance since 1979, with central banks aggressively buying the dip and safe-haven funds flowing in. But "Emerging Market Godfather" MacPurse has recently taken the opposite stance, saying now is not the time to touch gold; he must see it fall 20% before considering.

His logic is compelling: the good days for gold are over. Once the U.S. economy turns upward, the dollar will rebound, which is a deadly blow to gold as a non-yielding asset. Currently, gold prices have fallen back to the $4,600 level, the dollar is just rebounding, and geopolitical risks are easing—bullish positions are shrinking.

Ironically, the world's largest gold ETF holdings have hit new highs. What does this contradiction hide? Opportunity or trap, no one can say for sure.

But MacPurse is bullish on another track. He sees China's stock market as a "growth engine," betting heavily on high-end chips and AI sectors to outpace others. He hasn't missed opportunities in India, South Korea, and Taiwanese investments.

In plain terms, in this asset drought, the scales are tipping between safe-haven sentiment and growth expectations. Whether risk assets like $BTC can withstand this shift depends on future macroeconomic data. Gold's traditional safe-haven status seems to be facing its greatest test in history.

Maipu Si is right about this wave; gold is currently just an emotional market. The real entry point will be when the Federal Reserve actually begins a rate-cutting cycle.

Ma Pusi's recent bearish stance on gold is indeed quite aggressive, but I think he overlooked one issue—will the geopolitical situation really remain so stable? Wait, the world's largest gold ETF is still adding positions? That contradictory momentum suggests there's a big player lurking in the shadows. But speaking of which, BTC is indeed set to rise this wave. Compared to the stalemate in gold, the crypto sector has more imagination. Behind the central bank's frantic gold buying, do you really believe the dollar rebound will be so smooth? Honestly, currently those entering gold are retail investors chasing highs, while institutions are repositioning. If China's chips and AI truly become growth engines, gold will gradually turn into assets for the elderly. Ma Pusi's judgment is good, but waiting for a 20% drop might cause you to miss out. Now is the time to go into BTC; gold can be accumulated gradually. This wave of asset rotation feels like risk assets are about to turn around.

Maipu Si's statement sounds good, but the central bank is still frantically buying gold. Is this guy playing a reverse strategy? I still prefer BTC; risk assets are the real winners in this round.

Gold drops 20% and continues? McPurse's guy is betting pretty aggressively, even as the central bank is frantically buying the dip, he's holding a cash position. How strong must his mental resilience be? Wait, does he really have confidence in Chinese chips and AI? Feels more heartbreaking than the gold story. Need to keep an eye on the subsequent data.

Maipu Si's comments are really hitting home. Gold does feel a bit overvalued. Let's wait and see.

actually, if you run the correlation coefficient between usd strength and gold's real yields over the past 180 days, musk's 20% drawdown thesis gets... messy. liquidity pools on curve are pricing in something different entirely.
