Fed rate decision's ripple effect on my gold holdings

Checking in to see how everyone’s feeling about the latest Fed jab. Another 25 bps, as expected, but it always makes me pause and think about the longer game, especially with the bulk of my portfolio tied up in physical. I’ve seen this movie before, though, usually with a slightly different ending for gold than the broader market.
I’ve got north of 5 million parked in my Gold IRA and honestly, the stability it’s offered over the last few years has been a godsend as some of my development projects here in Aspen have seen… well, let’s just say some creative financing challenges. It's not just about the numbers, it's the peace of mind knowing that when the dollar catches a cold, my gold usually starts looking a little feverish in a good way. My main question is, are you guys seeing this translating into immediate gains, or is this more of a slow burn impact for our precious metals?
I'm heavily weighted in physical, mostly coins and bars, and I’m always evaluating if I should allocate more to miners or ETFs for a bit more leverage. My buddy, who's more into tech than anything else, keeps bugging me about it. But frankly, the direct ownership feels more substantial when the economic tides get choppy. What's your take on the short-term vs. long-term impact of these hikes on gold's trajectory? Are you rebalancing or holding steady?
