Anyone adjusting their gold strategy for the Fed's next move?

Been watching the Fed's recent comments and I'm curious what everyone else is thinking about how it'll impact our gold positions. I've been in gold for over 20 years now, started really diving in after I retired from the auto industry here in Detroit. My portfolio leans pretty heavily into physical gold, a good chunk of my 7-figure retirement fund is tied up in it, mostly in coins and bars stored with a reputable custodian. But I also keep a decent amount of actual coins at home, just for peace of mind.

My initial thesis back then was largely based on inflation hedging and dollar weakening, and it’s served me well through multiple economic cycles. I've seen some pretty wild swings, but always maintained my core belief. However, with the Fed hinting at potential rate cuts, or at least a pause in hikes, it feels like we might be entering a new phase. In the past, lower rates have generally been good for gold, but the market's been a bit unpredictable lately. I’m wondering if anyone is considering rebalancing their physical versus paper gold, or perhaps diversifying into other precious metals like silver, based on what the Fed might do next?

I'm particularly interested in how people are thinking about the short-term vs. long-term here. I'm obviously in it for the long haul, given my history, but even I'm constantly evaluating. Are folks buying more on dips, or holding off to see a clearer trend emerge? What's your gut telling you about the next 12-18 months for gold with all this Fed talk?
