Gold's keeping its strength even after the Fed dropped rates for the third time in a row yesterday. Not exactly a shocker—markets had this penciled in weeks ago. But here's what matters: precious metals are holding their ground despite the move being fully priced in.

The interesting part? This sustained rally in gold often signals deeper concerns about fiat stability and inflation expectations. When traditional safe havens stay elevated through rate cuts, it usually means investors aren't buying the "soft landing" narrative entirely. Same psychology that's been driving institutional money toward Bitcoin as a macro hedge.

Rate cuts typically weaken the dollar and make non-yielding assets more attractive. Gold's proving that playbook again. Worth watching how this risk-off sentiment bleeds into crypto markets over the next few weeks.
