Gold entered an accelerated uptrend in October 2023; prices are up 48% in 2025 marking the strongest annual gain since 1979.
Our Gold Cycle Indicator is nearing extreme overbought conditions for the second time this year, and an intermediate peak is becoming likely.
However, before gold tops, a breakout above $50.00 is possible in silver. Progressive closes above $48.00 could set the stage for a blowoff rally.
Our Gold Cycle Indicator is currently at 409, signaling maximum cycle topping conditions and suggesting a top may be nearby.
GOLD: Gold is up nearly 50% in 2025, as prices rapidly approach the $4,000 mark. In the near term, a spike above $4,100 is possible if prices test the upper boundary of the accelerated uptrend. However, we do not anticipate a sustained breakout above $4,200 at this time. Once this intermediate cycle peaks in the coming weeks, we expect a pullback to the $3,500 area, followed by a multi-month consolidation.
As mentioned in my recent articles, Gold was seen as pushing higher overall into mid-to-late August, before dropping down to a secondary low into what now looks to be late- September. From there, a sharp rally of some 14-20% is favored to play out, lasting well into the Spring of 2026 - before forming a larger-degree peak.
Gold's 10-Day Cycle
As mentioned in my prior article (on 8/18/25), the last short-term bottom was expected to come from our 10-day cycle, which was in bottoming range at that time.
Here again is that 10-day cycle for Gold:
In terms of price, it was the 8/22/25 reversal above the 3405.00 figure (December, 2025 contract) which confirmed the upward phase of this 10-day cycle to be back in force. In terms of time, that action favored additional strength into last week - with the full potential for a test of the 3534.10 swing top to be seen.
With the above said and noted, our 10-day wave is now some 7 trading days along - which puts it in the back-end of normal topping...

The Fed delivered a 0.25% rate cut on Wednesday, and markets are now pricing in a roughly 92% probability of another cut next month, followed by a third in December (82.5%). However, easing policy while inflation remains elevated could prove to be a misstep—...
When gold broke decisively above $2,100 in March 2024, it signaled the start of the accelerated phase of this bull market. At the time, I projected a move to $3,000. That target was hit within a year, and gold hasn’t looked back since.

A correction in gold and related assets could materialize once the dollar finds support, particularly if geopolitical tensions subside. Until then, the market remains vulnerable to volatility, and traders should approach with caution. Timing the turn won't be easy,...
Gold Price Forecast FAQ
How do you forecast the price of gold?
Predicting gold prices can be said to be both a science and an art. For example, analysis of gold supply and demand is scientific and completely objective whereas aspects of technical and sentiment analysis of the current gold market can be more of an art as it relies on the skills and perspective of the gold analyst.
Generally speaking, when the focus of the gold forecast is longer term then analysis of the fundamentals, ie scientific analysis, comes to the fore.
For shorter-term predictions of gold prices, the price of gold in the coming weeks and perhaps few months, technical analysis of past and current gold prices, market trends, as well as current market sentiment can be more actionable predictors. Here, the fundamentals can still play a role but generally serve more as background details.
What are the key factors for long term gold forecasts?
When forecasting what may happen to the price of gold longer term, there are many things to consider including economic trends, the impact of current and expected monetary policy, QE, debt monetization, and the aggregate impact on future currency valuation.
Does the price of gold go up when the stock market goes down?
The price of gold is often negatively correlated to the stock markets. When the markets go down, gold prices usually go up. However, this is not always true. Sometimes the price of gold and stocks both go up and down in unison. Fundamental factors play an important role and need to be carefully analyzed. Historically, however, the price of gold is not tied to the fluctuations of stock and bonds. This is one of the chief reasons when one should have gold in their portfolio – to protect the long-term value of your investments.
Does the value of the US dollar predict the price of gold?
As gold is traditionally quoted in US dollars, the price of gold is negatively correlated to the strength of the USD. The weaker the US dollar, the cheaper it is to purchase gold. Therefore, if economic factors predict a strengthening of the US dollar then this will tend to drop the price of gold, and vice-versa. According to the statistics (since 1973), the long-term correlation between the U.S. dollar index and the gold prices is -0.6 so this link is quite strong.
How do US interest rates impact future gold prices?
The level of US interest rates is an important driver of future gold prices. When investing in gold, the investor is faced with the opportunity cost of gold - a non-interest bearing asset. The higher the US interest rate for holding US dollars or investing in Treasuries, the higher the opportunity cost of holding gold. It is more likely, therefore, that a rally in the price of gold will be forecasted the lower the US benchmark interest rate.
