Is anyone else rethinking their gold/silver strategy after this latest Fed news?

Man, between showing properties in this Miami heat and trying to parse the latest from the Fed, my brain is fried. I've been watching my Gold IRA pretty closely, especially since the market's been a little wobbly. I've got a decent chunk, maybe $150k in there, with a good mix of physical gold and some silver coins I picked up a while back since I'm trying to build up a really solid retirement nest egg.
This whole "hold steady on rates" thing has me wondering if I should be tweaking my allocation. Part of me thinks it’s good – maybe less volatility and gold/silver can shine as a safe haven. But then another part of me is like, is this going to mean a stronger dollar in the long run, and how does that affect the precious metals?
I started with the precious metals route because frankly, real estate is my bread and butter, but I don't want all my eggs in one basket, especially with the inflation scares we've had. My goal is just to protect my capital and get some decent appreciation over the next 15-20 years. For those of you with significant holdings in physical silver, what are your thoughts? Are you seeing this as an opportunity to buy more, or are you holding off to see how things shake out?
I know everyone's situation is different, but I'm curious about the general sentiment. Should I be looking to increase my silver coin position, or maybe rebalance a bit more into gold? Any insights would be appreciated! It's always great to hear from others in the same boat.
