Spot Price & Timing

Spot price timing strategies and premium awareness.

Buyer checklist

  2. Use a dollar-cost averaging plan for large goals.
  3. Set price alerts for larger buys.

Frequently asked questions

Is it better to wait for a dip?
Waiting can help, but consistent buying often outperforms trying to time every move.
Why is the premium still high when spot falls?
Premiums reflect supply and demand for physical products, not just spot price.
