Gold, Silver & Platinum Enter Brief Pullbacks Before New Surges in 3Q ‘25!
06-18-25 – “Silver, Platinum & Palladium (the ‘white metals’) continue to surge as they consistently validate ongoing analysis for MAJOR advances to take hold in early-April ’25 and likely last into April/May 2026.
Once again, it was the synergistic combination of timing AND price indicators that set up and ultimately triggered this scenario after cycles had set the backdrop.
(While cycles are a valuable tool in identifying when certain things and/or market action is a higher likelihood, it is the price action & indicators that must validate those cycles and trigger related signals – complete with specific risk points – identifying the ‘what’, ‘where’ and ‘how’ of trading.)
In early-April ’25, weekly cycles & trend indicators, Elliott Wave structure & range targets, weekly HLS levels (extreme downside targets) and 21 MAC/MARC structure & interplay, monthly 21 MAC & MARC structure, and even Natural Year opening range analysis created that needed synergy when they combined to pinpoint April 7 – 11th as the ideal time for these metals to embark on powerful rallies.
Since then, they have surged after producing corroborating buy signals in mid-May and again in late-May ’25 – reinforcing the ‘golden opportunity’ described for Platinum traders (see INSIIDE Track excerpt on page 2), beginning in early-April ’25.
Since then, they have accelerated higher with Platinum now attacking its monthly LHR level (extreme upside monthly target) near 1320/PLN…
In early June, Platinum fulfilled a ~4-week/27 – 28-day high-low-low-low-(low; June 2, ‘25) Cycle Progression and has now rallied for almost 2/3 of that cycle – ushering in a pivotal time.
All this action is powerfully confirming the outlook for 2025/2026 and the paradigm shift that has been forecast to unfold in April ’25 – April ’26 – with Platinum projected to surge – at the very least – from its ~880/PL low to ~1,500/PL and fulfill the minimum ‘rally = rally’ (‘C’ = ‘A’??) wave objective. To reiterate, that is the minimum upside wave target.
Palladium is lagging but nearing the ideal time to accelerate higher…
Gold & Silver remain near their highs, trading divergently as Gold rallies when geopolitical tensions exceed a range of ‘norm’ – while Silver hesitates.
In contrast, Gold retreats when those tensions enter a new ‘norm’ (or, more accurately, when traders are desensitized to the latest flare-up) and Silver resumes its ongoing rally.
Silver is still targeting a multi-month rally (from early-April) to 39.20 – 40.00/SIN, where the latest 4 monthly LHRs collide.
Silver also has a pair of range-trading targets surrounding 40.00/SIN that reinforce this upside target (~28.00 low – ~34.00 high – ~40.00/ SIN high AND ~28.00 low – ~32.00 low – ~36.00 high – ~40.00/SIN high) – demonstrating that these upside targets will still be valid after the month of June.
If today’s high (37.40/SIN) holds as the intra-week high, it would create a weekly LHR (extreme upside weekly target) for June 23 – 27th at 39.22/SIN – right at the lower end of that upside target range.
Silver just fulfilled a consistent ~4-week/27 – 28-day low (Feb 28) – high (Mar 28) – high (April 24/25) – high (May 22) – (high; June 18/19, ‘25) Cycle Progression that could spur a new multi-day pullback.
1 – 4 week traders could have exited July Silver long positions (entered in late-May at an avg of ~33.01) near 35.74 w/avg. gains of about $2,350/contract in the 1,000 oz contract… $11,700 in the SIN Comex 5,000 oz contract.” TRADING INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISK!!
Gold & Silver have likely set multi-week peaks as part of a much larger advance that should ultimately take Silver above 40.00/SI and Gold to new all-time highs. Silver, Platinum & Palladium fulfilled cycle lows in early-April and were forecast to enter bullish cycles on April 7 – 11th and enter a much larger advance that could see a series of highs in mid-June, late-July, early-Sept & late-Oct/early-Nov ’25 – all focused on 2Q 2026. The next rally could/should begin in late-June.
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.
