 BRENTOIL-USDC:
Brent climbed toward $90 today as fading U.S.-Iran peace hopes and persistent risks around the Strait of Hormuz brought global oil supply concerns back into focus.

 GOLD-USDC:
Gold, meanwhile, pulled back from recent highs."

> **Visual Note:** A TradingView daily chart of gold ($GOLD / $XAU on TVC) showing an Elliott Wave-style projection with waves (1)–(5), where wave 3 bottomed near $3,140 and price has rallied into the highlighted 5,700–5,500 supply zone, aligning with the post's forecast of a push toward 4,500–4,600 before a deeper decline toward the 3,900–3,700 demand zone.

> "$GOLD
  $XAU Projection update

Expecting a slightly higher move to 4500 - 4600, then a further downside move towards 3900 - 3700.

Be ready for the ride"

The imagery of the hidden, observant cat pairs well with the post's theme of "stacking GOLD" as the alpha move, implying that $CETS is a hidden gem waiting to be spotted by those paying attention.  

> 
> "Been a hot minute since I've seen a movement like this

Makes you wonder...

If stacking GOLD is the alpha

All I have to do is hold $CETS"
