Silver, Platinum & Palladium (White Metals) Reinforce Early-April Buy Signals.
04-23-25 – “Stock Indices are reinforcing that a multi-week, and potentially multi-month, bottom took hold on April 7th – the convergence of monthly, weekly & daily cycles and the fulfillment of diverse downside targets. At the time, they fulfilled ongoing projections for 20 – 25% declines leading into early-April AND attacked decisive 3 – 6 month range-trading objectives.
The DJTA, S+P Midcap 400 & Russell 2000 are leading this reversal higher just as they led reversals lower in late-Nov ’24, late-Jan ’25 & late-Feb ’25…
Gold & Silver surged into the middle half of April with Gold initially fulfilling its potential for a 1 – 2 month high on April 14 – 25th – the time when a consistent 23 – 24-week high-high-high-(high) Cycle Progression came back into play. Gold also fulfilled an intra-year pattern of late…
In that annual ~360-degree cycle, Gold has set a multi-week or multi-month peak in the middle part of April – in sync with the Week of Aggression (April 12 – 19th) and/or the Date of Aggression (April 19th)…
Gold fulfilled the potential for a blow-off top in line with Natural Year ‘opening month’ analysis (portending an initial surge into ~April 19th as an omen of what could follow in 2025).
That is in lockstep with analysis for another abrupt shift in the ongoing currency battle between paper (fiat), hard (metals), and digital (cryptos) currency. Bitcoin – and stocks – had already set multi-week lows in early-April and were waiting on Gold & the Dollar Index to complete their recent moves.
It was also in sync with the ~7-Year Cycle analysis of Gold discussed over the past ~two years. Each time, that analysis has described how Gold’s 2022 – present advance is mirroring key timing aspects of its 2015 – 2020 advance.
In that previous bull market, Gold initially surged into the middle part of 2016 (after bottoming in 4Q 2015) and then set a subsequent peak in April 2018… that held for over a year.
In the current bull market, Gold bottomed in 4Q 2022 (7 years later), initially surged into the middle part of 2023 (7 years later) and was poised to peak in the middle part of April 2025 – 7 years after the April 2018 peak. That may have just occurred.
One irony (reinforcing the divergence that has prevailed since mid-November) is that Gold could be setting a multi-month peak within a couple weeks of Silver setting new intra-year and ~6-month lows.
That low reached Silver’s ongoing downside target near 27.60/SIK, fulfilling projections for a ‘C’ wave decline that have been the focus since Dec ‘24. It set a low in April ’25 – fulfilling broader geometric cycles that include a move of 180 degrees from its Oct ’24 peak and – looking forward – a low that is ~360 degrees prior to major cycles in ~April 2026
This entire move has been another example of how the two metals can trade in divergent trends and divergent wave structures… even while rallying & declining (mostly) in tandem.
Since mid-November, when Gold perpetuated a ~14-week low-low-low-(low; Nov 11 – 18, ’24) Cycle Progression while triggering a bullish weekly trend signal, it has been projected to see another major advance in 2025 – taking hold in January and initially lasting into late-April/early-May’ 25.
At the same time, Silver was repeatedly forecast to remain below its late-Oct ’24 peak until a spike below its mid-Dec ’24 low occurred. That finally occurred on April 4/7th, freeing Silver up to begin a new impulse wave higher (and possibly pivot into the leader of the next advance in metals)…”
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.”
