The Federal Reserve's rate cut actions have already begun over the past two years, but to be honest, the current benchmark interest rate of 3.75% still seems relatively high from a historical perspective. The market generally expects further room for rate cuts, with mainstream voices predicting a further 50 basis points reduction (two rate cuts), bringing the rate down to 3.25%. However, Trump's view is more aggressive, advocating for at least a 100 basis point cut, with four rate cuts in total, ultimately reaching 2.75%.
Regardless of which expectation materializes, it is a positive signal for safe-haven assets like gold. From a price perspective, gold still has the potential to break through the $5000 mark, especially during the upward phase before policy confirmation. However, once into the second half of the year, market sentiment may change, and a pullback could follow. So, those looking to buy the dip need to grasp the timing.

Gold just broke through 5000 but can't hold, and now it's pulling back? This rhythm is really amazing haha

The interest rate cut expectations still depend on what Trump ultimately does. The 2.75% figure feels a bit aggressive.
Gold at $5000 definitely has potential, but I'm worried about a sentiment reversal in the second half of the year. We need to be cautious when entering the market now.

I'm not convinced about Trump's 100 basis points, who doesn't boast?
Gold is rising sharply now, but I think the second half of the year is really uncertain. Those who bought in earlier should keep a close watch.
It's not too late to act after policies settle down; there's no need to rush.

If Trump really manages to get to 2.75%, gold will soar directly, but it still feels uncertain.
Dropping to 3.25% is also quite challenging; this kind of policy game still depends on actual data trends.
$5000 is a hurdle for gold, but the first half of the year indeed presented a window of opportunity.
In the second half, don't follow the trend to buy the dip, as it's easy to get caught; timing is crucial.
The interest rate issue really clashes with Trump's aggressive expectations, and it will all come down to who wins.
Gold's safe-haven properties are indeed strong, but choosing the wrong timing is also futile.
The rate cut window has been tightening over the past two years; we need to seize this wave.

Can Trump's aggressive rate cuts actually be pushed through? It feels a bit uncertain.
Gold breaking through 5000 is really possible; in the second half of the year, you need to act quickly to buy the dip.
A 100 basis point rate cut... just thinking about it makes me a little crazy.
Is it 3.25 or 2.75? The difference is quite significant.
This pace really needs to be timed precisely; one wrong step and you're done.
Safe-haven assets are truly about to take off this time.
The policy hasn't even been implemented yet, but gold is already surging.
I just want to know, what if Trump's expectations fall through?
Each rate cut is more aggressive than the last, and the market is a bit overwhelmed.

Does Trump want to cut 100 basis points? Bro, that's a bit optimistic haha, but gold definitely has a shot this time, $5,000 is not a dream.
