Gold, Platinum & Palladium Prepare for Mid-August Lows & New Rallies.
08-09-25 – “Gold & Silver initially sold off after rallying into July 21 – 25th cycle highs with Gold setting a secondary (‘B’ wave) high as Silver fulfilled ongoing analysis for a surge to 39.50 – 40.10/SIU (ideally 39.70 – 39.75+/SIU, where range targets converge). Both fulfilled ~5-week low-low-low-high-(high; July 21 – 25, ’25) Cycle Progressions with Silver also fulfilling its weekly LHR indicator.
Silver reached the primary upside ‘wave 5’ target while attacking 4 of the latest 5 monthly LHRs – a powerful convergence of extreme upside monthly targets…
Gold has remained in a weekly uptrend during its entire consolidation phase (since its late-April cycle peak) and just rallied back above its rising weekly 21 High MAC, so new highs cannot be discounted… That remains in the overall context of longer-term analysis for successive highs in late-April & then in late-Oct/early-Nov ’25…
Platinum & Palladium have sold off after fulfilling projections for decisive peaks on July 18 – 25th, taking hold immediately after Platinum reached its primary (but minimum) 6 – 12 month upside price target at ~1500/PL.
A correction into (at least) August 4 – 8th was projected with Platinum expected to drop to ~1200/PLV while Palladium is likely to drop back to ~1100/PAU. Those price objectives have not yet been met, so more downside is still likely.
In addition, Platinum just traced out a negative daily 21 MAC sequence, bouncing to its now-declining daily 21 Low MAC after closing below that support and turning its direction down. That reinforces the likelihood for another wave down – likely to reach 1200/PLV and potentially spiking as low as 1130 – 1150/PLV.
Copper plummeted after fulfilling multiple upside targets & extreme targets while peaking in sync with weekly cycles in late-July ‘25 and completing a 3-year uptrend. On July 19, ’25, that was projected to usher in a peak, which arrived a few days later – in sync with Cycle Progressions topping on July 21 – 25.
That led to Copper’s sharpest sell-off in history, on the heels of massive tariffs, while ushering in a likely multi-month volatile period of congestion.”
Gold & Silver are fulfilling & validating the ongoing outlook for a series of strong rallies in 2025 – first into late-April, then into late-July, and ultimately into Oct/Nov ’25 (ideally, late-Oct/early-Nov ’25). The next multi-week/multi-month low is most likely on August 15 – 19, ’25 – in sync with multi-month Cycle Progressions in Gold. Subsequently, the ensuing phases of Silver’s ~5-week Cycle Progression portend future highs in late-August & early-October ’25.
Platinum & Palladium are similar and are correcting after fulfilling early-April buy signals and projections for subsequent surges into mid-to-late-July cycle highs. Those highs reinforce future cycle highs in late-Oct ’25 (90 degrees later) and portend a new surge – with intervening support at ~1200/PL & ~1100/PA – following a likely August ’25 pullback low.
Recent action also reinforces the 17-Year Cycle impact on Silver and corroborates the outlook for a MAJOR uptrend in white metals following April ’25 cycle lows…
17-Year Cycle & Silver: April ’25 Low
The April ’25 INSIIDE Track detailed why Platinum was/is on the cusp of a Major advance (along with Silver & Palladium), stating: “This could be one of the ‘golden’ (or is that ‘platinum’) trading opportunities of 2025!” Related buy signals projected an initial multi-month advance into ~mid-July ’25 and an overall advance into October ’25 (as part of a larger rally into 2026).
The 40-Year Cycle of Currency War continues to impact Gold and its relationship to the US Dollar. Gold fulfilled major cycles in Sept/Oct 2022 when it perpetuated a 7-Year Cycle of consistent lows (2001 – 2008 – 2015 – 2022) that coincided with the onset of a new 40-Year Cycle of Currency War AND 80-Year Cycle of War and projected a multi-year bull market to follow (into at least 2025/2026 and potentially longer)…
Outlook 2022/23: A New Currency War Begins
Outlook 2023: A New Currency War & Inflation
April 2025 ushered in a new and reinforcing phase of this overall shift and corroborated multiple expectations for April 2025 into April/May 2026.
