This Week in Investing

All eyes were on the Fed last week. With their first rate cut of the year, gold was supposed to take off like a rocket.

Instead of a straight rally, the market delivered something more interesting: a tug-of-war between dollar strength, rising yields, and profit-taking at record highs.

Why?

• 💵 The U.S. dollar actually strengthened as traders read Powell’s tone as “cautious, not dovish.” A firm dollar usually weighs on global gold demand.

• 📈 Treasury yields ticked higher, so the opportunity cost of holding gold didn’t fall as much as bulls hoped.

• 🥇 With gold already near record highs, funds locked in profits — a reminder that positioning can matter as much as policy.

So while the macro backdrop supports gold in the medium term, the short-term picture is choppier, caught between Fed easing and market positioning.

The lesson?

Gold’s next big breakout won’t come from a single Fed cut. It’ll come when the dollar finally cracks and yields roll over.

And when that moment hits, you don’t want to be the one chasing at the top.

Why most Forex traders quit in 6 months (and how to avoid it)

If gold’s fate hangs on the dollar, then forex traders are sitting at the front row of the action.

But without a system, volatility can wipe out accounts just as quickly as it creates opportunities.

This is why over 80% of Forex traders quit within their first 6 months.

🧠 The Hard Truth

Traders start excited, they set up their accounts, join communities, and watch tutorials.

They even hit a few green trades in the first few weeks.

Then… A losing streak hits.

They overtrade, trying to win it back.

They start doubting themselves.

They wonder, maybe this isn’t for me.

And just like that, they’re out.

The reason? Most never learn the right strategies to trade consistently.

They don’t have a system to know when to enter and exit trades safely.

That’s why Julian created his SRR & RSS strategies.

They’re not complicated like all those strategies with a thousand indicators.

These strategies are simple, repeatable, and designed to:

✅ Give clear, repeatable entry and exit rules so you don’t overtrade

✅ Show the true structure of the market so you know when trades are worth taking

Essential for spotting high-probability trades and staying profitable long-term.

Many of his students now earn up to $7,000 USD per week, and some have even earned a spot as full-time prop firm traders!

And now, Julian will be revealing both strategies step by step in his FREE Genesis Enhanced Masterclass!
