Silver & Stocks Reinforce April Lows; Silver & Platinum Prep for Surge into June ’25 Cycle.
05-03-25 – “Stock indexes continue to rally after fulfilling the 3 – 6 month outlook for 20 – 25+% declines into early-April – when a wealth of cycles & timing indicators converged and signaled a multi-month bottom. Stocks also reached multi-month downside range trading targets and attacked 6 – 12 month support zones with some indexes now capable of retesting their all-time highs…
Stock Indices are continuing their rallies while further reinforcing that a (likely) multi-month, bottom took hold on April 7th – the convergence of monthly, weekly & daily cycles and the fulfillment of downside targets.
The April 7th lows were very significant as they saw many indexes attacking 6 – 12 month support zones, 3 – 6 month downside targets, and fulfilling 17-Year Cycle-related projections for (at least) 20 – 25% declines leading into early-April.
As illustrated in the May ’25 INSIIDE Track, a preponderance of benchmark stocks (including AAPL, AMD, AMZN, GOOGL, META, MU, NVDA, & TSLA) completed ~32 – ~56% declines at that time – powerfully fulfilling the 17-Year Cycle of Stock Market Peaks & Declines in which stock plunges of (often) 30 – 50+% are seen.
Many stock indexes also plummeted to 1 – 2 year support zones, range-trading targets, and/or downside objectives with the S+P Midcap 400 & Russell 2000 providing perfect examples. It might be the DJIA, however, that reached the most noteworthy synergy of major support zones and downside targets – signaling a bottom.
As described throughout 2025, the majority of weekly & monthly cycles converged in late-March /early-April ’25 (subsequently honed to April 3 – 7th) and were expected to culminate a 20 – 25% (minimum) decline in stock indexes.
By setting its low on April 7th, the DJIA precisely connected the March ’20 (Covid) low, the late-Sept ’22 low and the early-April ’25 low – each 132 weeks from the other… symmetry and synergy!
However, the price levels are the most startling.
The DJIA reached its April ’24 low (4th wave of lesser degree support on a multi-month basis) AND retested its 2022 peak (36,952/DJIA) while spiking down to its rising monthly 21 Low MAC AND 40 High MAC. It accomplished all that without turning its monthly trend down.
All of those factors signal the DJIA (and other indexes) could make it back to their all-time highs in the coming months (or weeks)…
Gold & Silver surged into the middle half of April with Gold fulfilling its potential for a 1 – 2 month high on April 14 – 25th – the time when a recurring 23 – 24-week high-high-high-(high) Cycle Progression came back into play.
Gold also fulfilled a recurring intra-year pattern in which it has repeatedly 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) – a time when tensions, conflict and/or safe haven ‘needs’ often culminate.
Silver fulfilled analysis for a surge into April 24/25th and is likely to see a drop to ~31.25/SIN, where recent weekly HLS levels converge with the current and future weekly 21 Low MARCs AND the weekly 21 Low MAC. Gold has a pair of weekly HLS levels at 3153 – 3169/GCM that could also be tested.
On a broader basis, Silver’s early-April low reached (and bottomed at) its ongoing downside target near 27.60/SIK, fulfilling projections for a ‘C’ wave decline that have been the focus since Dec ‘24.
From a timing perspective, it set a low in April ’25 – fulfilling broader geometric cycles that were/are expected to foreshadow a future peak in ~April 2026.
That low needs to hold in order to validate the outlook for a rally from April into Nov ’25… and ultimately into ~April ’26…
The XAU & HUI surged into mid-April and initially peaked – just as they did in mid-April 2023 and in mid-April 2022. Similar to the metals, the Date of Aggression often times the culmination of a run-up in reaction to some sort of stressor…
Platinum & Palladium are retreating after Platinum rallied into a ~5-week high-high-high-(high) Cycle Progression in late-April and peaked. Based on the daily & intra-month trend setups, daily 21 MAC & 21 MARC action, and the timing of the previous low – a secondary low appears likely on May 5 – 7th.
Copper has sold off after it plunged to intra-year trend support while fulfilling a ~13-week/~90-degree high-high-low-(low) Cycle Progression… and then surged into the latest phase of a ~4-week/27 – 29-day low-low-low-high-(high; April 22 – 24) Cycle Progression and peaked.”
Gold & Silver are consolidating after surging into late-April, following Silver’s early-April (6 – 12 month?) bottom that fulfilled its 3 – 6 month downside objective and signaled a multi-month bottom. That was in sync with the outlook for Platinum & Palladium as both entered bullish cycles on April 7 – 11th and are expected to surge into June ’25 as part of larger, overall advances. That reinforces the 17-Year Cycle impact on Silver.
17-Year Cycle & Silver: April ’25 Low
Gold, Silver & the XAU set multi-week highs in April but are poised for new rallies into ~mid-June ‘25. Platinum & Palladium are similar and are projected to enter more significant rallies – leading into the next phase of Platinum’s ~5-week cycle on June 6 – 13, ’25). The April ’25 INSIIDE Track detailed why Platinum 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 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. See current publications for the most updated analysis.
