Gold, Silver & White Metals Bullish in 2Q & 3Q 2025; Multiple Surges Projected!
05-29-25 – Outlook 2025 War Cycles & White Metals – “Whether or not there is any direct correlation between the two, the middle half of 2025 (~April – Oct ‘25) has been projected to time major shifts in both War Cycles and cycles impacting ‘white metals’. The month of April ushered in that period and the month of May provided some powerful (initial) validation.
Addressing the latter first, ‘white metals’ is the general term used to describe white metals… those that are not golden or copper. Most notably, it refers to Silver, Platinum & Palladium (all of which appear more silver than white… but what’s in a name?!?).
Since December ‘24, Silver was described as having one major criterion that needed to be fulfilled in order to signal a low…
It needed to drop below its Dec ‘24 low and ideally test ~27.60/SI – where its ‘4th wave of lesser degree’ support resided.
[That is an Elliott Wave term used to describe the low that precedes a final, wave ‘5’ rally in a particular trend. In Silver, that was the early-Aug ‘24 low that preceded the wave ‘5’ rally into late-Oct ‘24.]
A drop to ~27.60/SI would fulfill the downside objectives for the larger-magnitude wave ‘IV’ decline and usher in the time for a wave ‘V’ advance.
Not only did Silver fulfill that precise downside price objective, it fulfilled a primary (related) timing objective by lasting the same duration as the ~22-week correction that was identified as wave ‘II’.
This type of corrective wave symmetry added credibility to multi-week & multi-month cycles that bottomed in early-April and that projected – and are still projecting – a major Silver advance from early-April ‘25 into April/May ‘26.
The first half of that was forecast to be a sharp rally from early-April into Oct/Nov ‘25. And the initial phase of that first half was/is likely to be a strong rally from early-April into mid-June ‘25.
Golden Opportunity
At the same time Silver was fulfilling its downside objective – and simultaneously reinforcing the 90/10 Rule of Cycles by completing that sharp sell-off in a ~2-week period – Platinum & Palladium were also fulfilling analysis for a final spike low in early-April – that would create a ‘golden opportunity’ to enter long positions in Platinum.
As detailed in the April ‘25 INSIIDE Track (see page 7 for larger excerpt)…
3-30-25 – “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… a very bullish confirmation signal that would likely reverberate for 6 – 12 months to follow.
On a broader basis, 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… 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. It initially surged into late-January and turned its weekly trend up – a lagging indicator that often times an initial high and spurs a multi-week reactive sell-off…
Its weekly 21 MAC is also nearing the time (April 7 – 11, ‘25) when a reversal higher would become much easier to achieve… That is due to the falling – but inversely-correlated – weekly 21 MARC during the current 3-week period.
On a longer-term basis, 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.” — April ’25 (3/30/25) INSIIDE Track
Platinum & Palladium also spiked lower into April 7th and reversed higher, with their weekly 21 MACs reversing higher in the weeks that followed. In early-May, Platinum generated an outside-week/2 Close Reversal Combo buy signal – validating that cycle low and projecting a sharper rally to follow.
After an initial surge (into late-April) and wave ‘2’ pullback (into mid-May), Platinum triggered a convincing 2 Close Reversal Combo buy signal on May 15th – signaling the onset of wave ‘iii’ of ‘3’ to the upside (see April & May ‘25 Weekly Re-Lays for related details and analysis).
That was soon corroborated by the weekly 21 MAC confirmation signal (a weekly close above the now-ascending weekly 21 High MAC) triggered at the end of that week. The April & May signals helped catapult Platinum to its highest level in over a year. More specific analysis can be found in the respective section for Platinum.
War Cycles
All of this begs the question, ‘Does the outlook for these white metals have anything to do with the culmination of War Cycles during the same period?’
As described for over a decade, late-2021 – late-2025 was pinpointed as the next phase of an uncanny 80-Year Cycle of War that timed major conflicts in the US – since its founding – and coinciding conflicts in Europe, dating back to the 1200’s.
The globe is now entering the culmination of that 80-Year Cycle… the time within a cycle when the most dramatic events often occur (not always… but sometimes). One need only look at the preceding phase of that 80-Year Cycle – and its culmination in April – October 1945 – to see a prime example of this principle (similar to 90/10 Rule of Cycles).
Early-August ‘25 will be one period to monitor closely – a full 80 years from dramatic global/war events.”
Gold & Silver are rallying after retreating into mid-May and fulfilling the ideal time for a multi-week low to take hold (and a much larger advance in Silver & Platinum to begin). Gold remains below multi-month cycle highs, fulfilled in late-April, but signaled that a subsequent correction was complete in mid-May – projecting a new impulse wave that should ultimately take Gold to new all-time highs.
Silver is projecting a multi-month surge after fulfilling multi-month cycle lows and downside objectives in early-April. That coincided with the outlook for Platinum & Palladium to enter bullish cycles on April 7 – 11th and surge – on balance – into June ’25. That would likely be the first stage of a much larger advance that could see a series of highs in late-July, early-Sept & late-Oct/early-Nov ’25 – all focused on 2Q 2026.
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!” The first phase of that was/is expected to be a sharp rally into the next phase of Platinum’s ~5-week cycle on June 9 – 13, ’25… and then a subsequent rally into the ensuing phase of that cycle – in mid-July ’25.
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 could be the first phase of major rallies in key metals (Platinum & Palladium) and the next phase for Gold & Silver. It also ushered in the time (April – August ’25) when War Cycles could produce some unexpected surprises.
