Fed decision got me second-guessing my 401k rollover to GOLD. Anyone else?

• •Okay, so this Fed decision yesterday is really making me twitch a bit more than usual.
• •I finally pulled the trigger on rolling over a decent chunk of my old 401(k) into a gold IRA back in October.
• •We're talking probably about $80k or so that I moved over.

Okay, so this Fed decision yesterday is really making me twitch a bit more than usual. I finally pulled the trigger on rolling over a decent chunk of my old 401(k) into a gold IRA back in October. We're talking probably about $80k or so that I moved over. Been in the music industry here in Nashville for years, seen booms and busts, and honestly, after the last few years, the idea of having something tangible felt RIGHT. All the talk about inflation, dollar losing value... physical gold just made sense for my retirement.

My advisor (who deals specifically with precious metals for IRAs, unlike my old financial planner who just looked at me sideways when I brought it up) was super confident, and I felt good about it at the time. My thinking was, higher rates eventually slow things down, recession fears creep in, and gold traditionally does well as a safe haven. But now, with the Fed hinting at more rate hikes and possibly even more hikes than they initially projected, I'm starting to wonder if I jumped the gun. Will this just keep strengthening the dollar and crush gold prices even more?

I know it's a long-term play, and I'm not looking to day trade my retirement or anything. My goal is preservation, not insane growth. But seeing those short-term fluctuations after a Fed announcement still plays with my head. I’m new to having such a significant portion in gold, and it’s a different beast than just watching my ETFs. Anyone else in a similar position with a recent gold IRA rollover? How are you feeling after the latest Fed speak?

Would love to hear some perspectives, especially from folks who’ve weathered a few of these rate cycles with gold in their retirement accounts. Should I just buckle down and ignore the daily noise, or is there a valid concern here I should be paying closer attention to?
