Also, gold is expensive like hell right now. As COVID winds down, I would expect markets react vigorously and gold in free fall. It's also important to know that long term holding of gold has fairly lower relative returns compared to S&P and also no dividends. So only suckers would get in to gold right now.
Unless you are a very long term gold trader with very deep expertise, I would almost guarantee that the market knows a lot more about the correct price of gold than you do. It's not "expensive as hell" but likely fairly priced.
This view that market knows the best is actually quite misguided. Market does prices assets correctly after long enough period of time but it oscillates and bounces a lot before that happens. It's wrong to say that any point in time market knows the best and current price are exactly the fair price. If this was true, asset prices simply don't keep swinging 10% for days on. Gold isn't worth $100 at 9 AM and suddenly becomes worth $70 at noon.
