Turkey Mulls Tapping $135 Billion Gold Reserves for Lira Defense

Doesn't look like they have increased substantial holding in the last years, reserves value increased because of rising gold value. If Gold value accidentally drop to $1,000 (that $135b reserves become $40b) Using it to defend LIRA is another way of saying let us waste part of this Gold Reserve (to what extent will you defend, for how long?) Not sustainable

its profit taking

people and governments with physical gold made lots of money the past couple years....thats how old this parabolic rise on gold is...look at a monthly chart... so after exchanges raising margins and then the war makin it crash time to unload physical gold and collect profits

gold will drop to the 2024 breakout prolly in 9 to 12 months if not sooner since price falls faster than it goes up since hump wants to send in marines reports are sayin

99.999% of those responses are bots. Just ignore them (not that you can actually ignore the users, because there are just too many), but it helps to think of them as AI/fake, so you aren't influenced.

The question becomes: will any be sold? If so, how much? Obviously not all. And what would be sold will be layered. $125B in a $40T market wouldn't even move the needle. The concern would be the knockon effects if other countries started doing the same...at the same time. But that has likely already happened.

Gold is cyclical, like anything else. It will see pullbacks and increases. Looking at it from a VERY long time frame you can start to see these patterns emerge (though few of us want to "trade" on an investment timeframe). The other thing to consider is how large pullbacks typically are (and over what period of time). In 2022, for example, gold fell...but over the course of a year. We just saw a similar move in a matter of weeks. That could tell us something about the possibility of near-term directional "normalization".

Turkish diplomats are conducting behind-the-scenes negotiations between Iran and the United States. There is probably some kind of agreement in place, which is why they will sell gold. Tensions will decrease. Other countries will also follow this. We will watch and see. A pullback in gold will inevitably happen, and these sales will trigger each other.
