Since my last article from mid-July, Gold has seen a very nice rally, with the metal running up to a test of the low-end 4500's, which is up some 500 points off the late-June trough. Near-term, the metal looks to be setting up for a sharp decline, with U.S. stocks looking for a bigger percentage correction.
Gold's 34-Day Cycle
For the very short-term, the most dominant cycle that we track is the 34-day wave in Gold, which is shown on the chart below:
As mentioned back in May - June, the last 34-day cycle trough was projected for the mid- June timeframe or later, with the actual bottom for this wave coming in on June 30th, doing so at the 4015.30 figure (note: December, 2026 contract). With the strength seen over the past 6 weeks, this 34-day cycle in Gold is now back in topping range - and thus is looking for a sharp correction in the coming days/weeks. ...
The mid-year correction is over: Gold, silver, platinum, and miners all formed major lows, setting the stage for the next leg of the precious metals bull market.
The biggest gains may still be ahead: We expect much higher prices into 2030–2031, with the most explosive phase of the bull market likely to occur during its final 12 months.
Miners are poised to take the lead: After lagging during the first half of the bull market, gold and silver miners are showing signs of a major shift, with new all-time highs potentially arriving well before the metals themselves.
GOLD BIG PICTURE
Another quick reminder of where I believe we are in the larger bull trend: the 2026 pullback is only the halfway point of a 10-year rally that should take gold well above $10,000 by the end of the decade. Just like in 2006, I expect the recent lows to hold throughout the remainder of the bull market. In other words, I believe we just saw a major bottom.

The 2026 pullback is just the halfway point of the larger secular trend. Metals and Miners reached and likely bottomed in our mid-year target zones, setting the stage for the next advance. The second half of the bull market begins now, and we expect mining stocks to...
Precious metals surged to start the week but rolled over as Middle East tensions intensified. The rally in crude oil prices back towards $92.00 is adding upward pressure to both the U.S. dollar and the 10-year Treasury yield.
The recent price action in precious metals has been surprising, considering the weaker dollar and the massive downside surprise in June CPI. In my view, those developments alone should have propelled gold easily above $4,100. So, what drives the current weakness? My...
Metals and mining stocks are bottoming within our ideal target zones, helped by Tuesday's lower-than-expected CPI report. Some cycle lows develop quickly, producing sharp V-shaped recoveries. More often, however, the bottoming process unfolds over several weeks before...
Since my prior article, Gold dropped to lower lows for the swing into late-June, before forming a key low at the 3955.40 figure (August, 2026 contract). This trough was right into the expected window of mid-June to mid-July, noted as an ideal bottoming range for the...
Gold reached oversold levels last month, not seen since 2022, prompting us to alert members of an impending bottom as prices entered our ideal target zones.
Precious metals and miners are trading within our ideal target zones, and we expect a meaningful bottom to form any day. I'll be watching the price action closely surrounding Thursday's payroll report and, more specifically, around July 7th for a bottom in silver.
The dust has now settled after last week’s Federal Reserve meeting, and the U.S. dollar’s move above 101 appears to be driving the final leg lower in precious metals into July.
The recent action in Gold has seen the metal continuing to break south, though is moving into the range where a mid-term trough is expected to form. Once this low is in place, a very sharp rally is expected to develop in the months to follow.
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.
