Think ETF flows move gold prices? Wrong. Central banks run this show. Here's the kicker: while retail dumped their holdings in 2022-2023, central banks quintupled their buying spree during the exact same window. Five times the appetite when everyone else panicked. That's not correlation—that's control.

Retail investors really took a big hit when they tried to buy the dip in 2022-2023, while central banks turned around and increased their holdings 5x... We need to dig into the details of this data. It feels like there’s some logic behind it, but we can't entirely call it "market manipulation," right?

Central banks are the real players in the gold market. While retail investors are getting fleeced, they’re frantically buying up gold. This game is fundamentally unfair.

5x buying power... This is the real market threshold trigger point. When retail investors are fleeing, central banks are accumulating. This risk control mechanism is pretty aggressive.

Retail investors are being taken advantage of; the central bank is the real boss. This script is brilliantly written.

Central banks are the real market makers in the gold market. While retail investors are still panic selling, they've already quietly increased their positions fivefold... You really can't beat the system in this game.
