🟡 THE FORT KNOWS AUDIT RUMOR: THE SPARK THAT IGNITED GOLD'S PARABOLA
It started with a seemingly outlandish rumor—President Trump hinting at auditing Fort Knox—and markets didn't laugh. They voted with capital.
The timeline:
Feb 2025 – Trump hints at a gold‑reserve audit
Market reaction – slow, steady, relentless gold accumulation begins
Price trajectory – $2,700 → $2,800 → $3,000 → $3,500 → $5,300+
Audit outcome – never happened, quietly blocked
Why this matters beyond the rumor:
🔹 Trust fracture – when an audit is suggested then suppressed, it signals something to hide
🔹 Institutional flight – not retail or ETFs, but sovereign and whale capital moving silently
🔹 Dollar‑gold divergence – deliberate reallocation away from fiat confidence
🔹 Slow‑burn breakout – parabolic moves built on structural distrust, not hype
This isn't just a gold rally.
It’s a quiet reset of faith in the monetary system.
When trust in institutions cracks, gold becomes the default truth—and right now, that truth trades above $5,300.
