Stock rise an average 7% per annum over time, but not consistently

There is a rhythm to asset price movement (cycles) from overbought to oversold, from overly optimistic to overly pessimistic

Sort of works, but it’s not the end all, you need to “play it by ear” and look for oversold and overbought conditions to enter or exit

Works due to Physical demand for jewellery – and as the bull market has emerged Physical demand has fallen while Investment demand has grown – therefore seasonality isn’t as strong now as before

The way I would use: if price at significant high/low and coincides with seasonal trend – then use it – if not, don’t
