Gold-Gold Miners-DXY-Fed Funds-Monetary Base All Correlating

Long
XAU/DXY  
XAU/DXY  
This is the Gold Miners Index to DXY ratio. This feels likes 2001 or 2009. Gold is correlating with Fed Funds, the monetary base, and the DXY like its 2009 and 2001. Gold stocks are priced like its 2009.

Since 2019 we have seen the Fed Funds Rate free fall, since September 2019 we have seen the monetary base expand past the low set in December 2016, same with the Fed's balance sheet. We have seen the Fed Rate continue to fall now down to 1.00-1.25. And since September we've seen gold continue to make new highs, the US dollar / DXY break through critical support. We've also seen gold and gold stocks breakout against US indices.

Could this be the beginning of the next bull run? Could this be the run we started in 2009 and prematurely ended in 2011?
If so, hold on to your seat because we're just getting started here. Look for Gold Miners (XAU) to DXY ratio to start surging as the mining sector plays catch up to gold and as the Fed Funds rate continues to plummet and the balance sheet / monetary base continue to grow.

What's interesting is the gold tends to fall when the monetary base falls. But gold has tended to rise when the monetary base moves sideways. It seems like without Fed intervention the monetary base is shrinking and the only way to keep asset prices propped up is to keep expanding the base. This means gold could be on the cusp of an incredible move without much downside even with the prospects of a broad market crash remaining fairly high.
