Gold/Metals Project Higher Highs in October ’25… and Ultimately into 2027??

08-20-25 – “It is often beneficial to review & reinforce critical principles of trading and cycles.  Some of those principles involve the interplay between subsequent facets of a Cycle Progression and/or the interplay between larger phases and smaller phases of related cycles.

Currently, Gold is providing a good example of these relationships between corroborating cycles.

From a much broader perspective, the cyclic outlook for Gold has remained constant for over a year.  It was projected to rally into late-October ’24 and set a multi-month top during that phase of its recurring 27 – 28-week & overriding 54 – 59-week cycle & Cycle Progression.

It did exactly that.

That led to a quick correction into mid-November ’24 that held key support levels and triggered a new (bullish) weekly trend signal.

That was projected to generate a new multi-month rally – forecast to peak in late-April/early-May ’25 (the ensuing phase of that same 27 – 28-week Cycle Progression) and enter a larger correction.

Gold obliged and peaked on April 22nd.

That would, and did, turn focus to late-Oct/early-Nov ’25 (greater synergy in Nov ’25) – when a subsequent high was/is considered likely during the next phase of both the 27 – 28-week AND the 54 – 59-week Cycle Progression.

That remains the case.

Ideally, Gold would not turn its weekly trend down during the intervening correction.  (If it did, that would alter where, but not if or when, the next high is most likely.)  Presently, the earliest it would have its first chance of doing that would be on August 29th… but that is a fluid situation – warranting ongoing updates….

Another related principle is wave symmetry. 

On a longer-term basis, Gold could/would fulfill a collection of corroborating wave symmetry examples if it extended its overall advance into 2027… ideally into April/May ‘27.

That is a topic for a more in-depth discussion later.

However, there are a couple key factors that would corroborate that – most notably the potential for future 1 – 2-month (or larger) highs in Oct/Nov ’25 and April/May ’26… future phases of the 27 – 28-week CP.  They would reinforce subsequent phases – most notably in April/May 2027.  Here are a few more…

  • Successive 12-year rallies = 2027
  • Successive 56-month rallies = April ’27
  • 2-year low (Apr ’19) – high (May ’21) – high (Apr/ May ’23) – high (Apr ’25) – (high) Cycle Progression = April/May 2027.

3-29-25 INSIIDE Track – Gold & Silver are in broader bullish trends and their outlook remains positive.  Gold & Silver perpetuated a ~7-year low (4Q ‘01) – low (4Q ‘08) – low (4Q ‘15) – low (4Q ‘22) Cycle Progression in October ‘22 and have been projected to undergo a multi-year advance into 2026 or later…

Platinum triggered some intriguing – and potentially very bullish – signals… This could be one of the ‘golden’ (or is that ‘platinum’) trading opportunities of 2025!  Platinum is on the cusp of turning its monthly 21 High MAC up… for the first time since October ‘23… it would generate a very bullish confirmation signal that would likely reverberate for 6 – 12 months to follow…

Platinum could rally into 2026 – a 50% rebound in time (12 years down/6 years up) and the latest phase of a ~5-year high (2011) – high (2016) – high (2021) – (high; 2026) Cycle Progression that parallels the Silver outlook. With Platinum closing the week at 996/PLN, it is a good place for traders to be adding to long positions…

Palladium remains above its August ‘24 low and in a constructive weekly trend pattern… Its weekly 21 MAC is also nearing the time (April 7 – 11, ‘25) when a reversal higher would become much easier to achieve… Palladium is expected to enter a new bull market in 2025 and stretch that into 3Q 2026 – when the next multi-year peak appears most likely.”
