The $40 million in tokenized gold sales highlights the tension between short-term profit-taking by whales and long-term accumulation by institutions.

Factors that will determine if this signals a local top or a temporary pullback include:

Resolution of energy supply disruptions

Direction of the US dollar

With oil-driven inflation and mounting growth risks, gold’s structural bid appears strong. While whales may reduce exposure temporarily, institutional accumulation and macro uncertainty support the case for further gains.
