Silver & White Metals Project Successive Higher Highs; Late-Jan ’26 = Pivotal Time.
12-17-25 – “4Q 2025 was forecast to be a time of significant shifts in many markets. Two of the impacted market complexes had an intriguing (but loose) connection… leading to the ongoing discussion of ‘eerie parallels’ between specific events in the 2020’s, the 1990’s, and the 1920’s.
Those two were cryptocurrency and the overall equity market. Cryptos were projected to peak first – earlier in 4Q ’25 – and enter negative cycles in Nov/Dec ’25, when the first of at least two (and potentially more) sharp sell-offs were projected to occur.
After peaking in Oct ’25, Bitcoin was projected to plunge to ~80,000/BTC and into the week of Nov 17 – 21st – plummeting 35+% in less than two months.
Overlapping that initial crypto decline, stock indexes were expected to be tracing out a topping process – with NQ-100 Cycle Progressions peaking in late-Oct ’25 and other index cycles portending peaks in… Jan ’26.
There remain striking similarities between the 1990’s unbridled spending on dot-com ventures & 2025’s no-holds-barred spending on cryptos (as corporate holdings) and AI infrastructure.
Will the end results be the least bit similar?
Stock Indices are increasing their divergence as many indexes fulfilled ongoing projections for higher highs into Dec ’25… even as the NQ-100 continues to reinforce its late-Oct ’25 cycle peak.
That peak completed its 5th ~3-year advance (since the March ‘09 low) – fulfilling an intriguing series of bull market symmetry with successive rallies in:
- March 2009 – March 2012
- June 2012 – July 2015
- August 2015 – August 2018
- Dec 2018 – Nov 2021
- October 2022 – October 2025
Reinforcing those yearly/monthly ‘cycles’, the NQ-100 reached the extreme of its 33 – 36-week low (Mar ’23) – low (Oct ‘23) – high (July ‘24) – high (Feb ‘25) – (high; Oct 20 – 31, ’25) Cycle Progression… increasing the potential for a drop into [reserved for subscribers]…
Two of the intermediate Cycle Progressions that helped pinpoint the Oct 28/29th top were a 13 – 14 trading-day CP and its over-arching 27 – 28 trading-day Cycle Progression.
The larger of those perpetuated a 27 – 28 trading-day high (July 3) – high (Aug 13) – high (Sept 22) – (high; Oct 28/29, ’25) Cycle Progression that came back into play on Dec 10th and timed a lower high.
That was also the midpoint of an intermediate, 28 – 29 trading-day low (Sept 2) – low (Oct 10) – low (Nov 20/21) – (low; Jan 2/5, ’26) Cycle Progression in the majority of the indexes. It rallied for half of that low-low cycle and set the stage for an equal-duration decline from Dec 10, ’25 into early-Jan.
While all of these NQ Cycle Progressions & timing indicators were timing a multi-month peak in late-Oct ’25 – and a secondary peak on Dec 10, ’25 – it was the corresponding price action that validated them…
Gold & Silver remain divergent as Gold remains below its late-Oct ’25 cycle peak while Silver has surged to progressively higher and higher levels – reinforcing its 6 – 12-month outlook for a major bull market from early-April ’25 into April/May ’26. The other white metals (Platinum & Palladium) concur.
Gold continues to consolidate even though its weekly uptrend could spur a spike above the late-Oct ’25 peak… Even as Silver continues to project higher highs into April/May ’26, Gold has not yet signaled whether higher highs are likely – leading into 2Q ’26.
In the near-term, Gold could spike higher into Dec 19th – fulfilling a ~2-month/~60-degree low (Aug 19/ 20, ’25) – high (Oct 20, ’25) – (high; Dec 20, ’25) Cycle Progression… even as Bitcoin is poised for a contrasting spike low (rock, paper, scissors).
Platinum & Palladium have rallied to new highs in sync with their prevailing weekly uptrends… Like Silver, they remain on track for major surges into April/May ’26 with Palladium capable of extending that into 3Q 2026.
The XAU & HUI have hesitated after surging to new highs into Dec 12th – with the XAU nearly reaching 354.65 – 356.56, its monthly resistance and the upside target for its intra-month uptrend.”
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.”
10-15 & 18-25 Weekly Re-Lay Alert – “Gold peaked on April 22nd – in fulfillment of those intervening/ reinforcing cycles and also the Date of Aggression – and held that high for over 4 months. An interim high was set on July 22/23, ’25 – a geometric 3-months/90 degrees from the April 22nd peak – further reinforcing the late-Oct ’25 time frame. October 22/23, ’25 is exactly 3 months/90 degrees from the July 22/23rd peak…
Gold & Silver remain strong and are accelerating higher (90/10 Rule of Cycles), reinforcing the overall bullish outlook… They have initially fulfilled an ~2.5-month Cycle Progression linked to Gold’s late-July ’25 low that fulfilled an ~11-week/~76-day low (Feb 28) – low (May 15) – (low; July 30, ’25) Cycle Progression and projected future highs on Oct 13 – 17th…
On an even broader basis, they remain in multi-year bull markets, initiated in 4Q 2022 when an uncanny 7-Year low (4Q 2001) – low (4Q 2008) – low (4Q 2015) – low (4Q 2022) Cycle Progression combined with a myriad of other monthly & yearly cycles to project a multi-year advance.”
“Platinum & Palladium extended their gains into Oct ’25 – the ideal time for 1 – 3 month highs in a series of ascending highs (stretching into April/May ’26).”
Future highs in Jan ’26 & April ’26 likely. See current Weekly Re-Lay & INSIIDE Track publications for the most updated analysis.
