2020 – 2021 Gold Outlook: War Cycles Intensifying; Currency Wars Concur… Why Could Gold’s Role Surprise Most Investors?

The 11 & 22-Year Cycles Join In

More than anything, the events of 2017 – 2019 have revealed and/or created a dangerous, smoldering tinderbox of global tensions and anxieties – awaiting a decisive dousing of geopolitical gasoline and a well-timed spark.  For over a decade, the focus for the next serious global conflict has been on 2021 – the next phase of the 80-Year Cycle of War.

As was the case during the last two phases (and most of the preceding phases, dating back over 500 years), the decade leading into that cycle has seen intensifying conflicts on a recurring basis.  The 1850’s (Bloody Kansas, etc.) led to 1861 – when America entered a full-blown Civil War.

The 1930’s (Germany, Italy, Europe, etc.) led to 1941 – when American entered a full-blown World War (II).  The 2010’s have seen many parallels to those past periods (1850’s & 1930’s) that could see further escalation in the coming year(s).

It is worth noting that the heightened potential for a global, military flare-up is perfectly timed with when the Sun is expected to enter its own period of intensifying flare-ups.  Evidence is mounting that Solar Cycle 25 has begun (see inset).  In many historical cases, the first 2 – 3 years see a dramatic surge in the annual number of solar storms.

And, in many cases, the repeated bombardment of Earth – with intensifying CMEs and magnetic particles – has coincided with increasing human aggression.  The 80-Year Cycle appears to have impacted this as well.  1858/1859 ushered in an explosive period and the most dramatic solar storm of modern history – the ’Carrington Event’ of 1859.

1938/1939 ushered in another explosive solar period with several global-impacting storms lasting into 1943 (a worldwide radio blackout also occurred in 1947).

Will 2019 usher in another multi-year period of explosive solar activity?”  See Dec. 2019 INSIIDE Track for additional analysis and link to gold & silver.


2020/2021 is the culmination of momentous cycles that have been discussed for two decades – most notably focused on the likely collision of a new Currency War and another military war (both culminating in 2021).  With the advent of cryptocurrency and other alternatives to traditional ‘money’ – both paper and metals – some genuine surprises are likely to catch investors flat-footed in the coming years.

Will Gold Still Play its Historic Role… or Have Critical Factors Altered That?
