It’s only been a short time into 2026, and the US debt level has once again hit a record high. To be honest, no one is really concerned about the size of this number anymore; the real question is: how much longer can this situation last?

Think carefully about why gold and silver keep rising. It’s not a coincidence, nor is it without logic. When national debt continues to expand and the pressure of currency devaluation grows, people naturally seek out those stores of value that have been recognized for thousands of years. Precious metals are exactly that kind of asset that can preserve value in any era.

Looking at the XAU trend makes this clear. Over the years, global easing policies, high debt levels, complex geopolitical situations… a multitude of factors stacking up, causing funds to flow continuously into gold. It’s not some magical reason; it’s the simplest supply and demand relationship and risk hedging logic. The more uncertain the financial system, the stronger the demand for gold. Simple and straightforward, but that’s just how it is.

U.S. debt hits a new record, and frankly, there's no real suspense anymore. The real issue is how much value paper money still has. This wave of gold price increase is actually a bet on the system itself; thousands of years of consensus are more solid than anything else. XAU's trend is right there; don't focus on news stories, just watch where the funds are flowing. People still obsessing over debt figures probably don't have much assets to protect; the truly wealthy have already jumped on board. The higher the financial uncertainty, the more valuable gold becomes; this logical cycle is airtight. Whether it can hold up or not, anyway, part of my wealth has already been invested in precious metals.

The devaluation of paper money has been obvious for a long time. There are too many people only realizing it now. Gold keeps rising endlessly, what does that indicate? Everyone knows it deep down.

Debt figures are astronomical, and the devaluation of paper currency has been obvious for a long time, no wonder gold has been soaring. --- Basically, it's an asset shortage; there's nowhere to run, so you can only hold onto gold and sleep. --- The XAU trend is really outrageous; it feels like there's still hope ahead. --- The global printing presses haven't stopped, and a tenfold increase in gold prices wouldn't be surprising. --- This time is truly different; whoever takes the blame for US debt will definitely face a backlash. --- I just want to know when the US dollar will completely collapse. --- Precious metals maintaining value has been unchanged for thousands of years; I should have gone all in long ago. --- Geopolitical chaos + debt explosion, how can one not buy gold? --- Wait, when will the devaluation of paper currency turn around? --- It seems I need to stockpile some real gold and silver as a backup.

The debt ceiling will eventually collapse; rather than waiting for death, it's better to start accumulating gold now. This is the true logic of hedging. Fiat currency devaluation is certain, and gold prices will rise inevitably. The simple and straightforward truth is making money. Once again, it has been verified that precious metals are more attractive when chaos ensues. Those still holding coins should really wake up now. The recent trend of XAU is not about technical analysis; it's the market voting with its feet. People are not fools. To put it plainly, if the system were reliable, there wouldn't be so many people pouring money into gold. The reality is quite harsh.

The debt ceiling is repeatedly broken through, fiat currency is depreciating, and gold is quietly eroding your purchasing power gap. Someone has seen through this long ago. In fact, everyone is betting on one thing: when will the system adjust? Gold is the insurance policy.

The debt ceiling has been broken again... Honestly, who still cares about these numbers? The real issue is when the rupture actually happens. Gold is the ultimate insurance; even if fiat currency becomes worthless, we can still sleep holding gold. That logic is perfect. I saw this XAU trend coming a long time ago, just waiting to scoop up the bargains... but in the end, I still couldn't bring myself to buy. I'm so worried.

The debt ceiling has been broken again, but everyone is already used to it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The real drama is watching who will run away first to buy gold According to my analysis, large on-chain holders have already been stockpiling gold. This is not a coincidence; it’s the most bare-bones hedging logic Fiat currency devaluation is so straightforward; gold has been the eternal stabilizer for thousands of years XAU’s trend... Hey, capital flow is as predictable as chasing a hot drama. When supply and demand shift, people's hearts move The more chaotic the financial system, the stronger gold’s ability to attract funds—simple and brutal --- Honestly, anyone who doesn’t have some gold reserves in this wave, just wait to be taught a lesson by time Debt expansion = paper money evaporation, this equation is even more accurate than my predictions --- I just want to know, if US debt hits a new high again, is it time to buy the gold bottom again?
