That brief dip in gold below 4,100 was a fakeout—I wonder how many panic sellers it shook out.

For nine straight days, prices have seesawed between 4,107 and 4,225. Then, a sudden intraday plunge created a sharp dip that really looked like a breakdown. But this is exactly the kind of classic base-building action you often see before a breakout. Look at the real line of defense at the bottom: no matter how sharply prices dip in the short term, the 4,000 level has held firm.

This isn’t the bulls giving up. It’s a shakeout, clearing out weak hands through volatility. As long as the 4,000 floor holds, this dip is just a spring being compressed before a reversal. A false breakdown can reveal the true bottom—don’t let this probe scare you into giving up your core position.
