"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds." (U.S. Post office motto)
To paraphrase the above US Post Office motto…. "Neither rain nor snow, nor the US Goverment, central banks, cartels, nor any other entity can reverse a trend."
They can accelerate it, slow it down or speed it up or otherwise distort it… but they cannot reverse it. A trend can only change on its own when the time is right.
