Gold Price Forecast – Collapsing Gold Price Targets $3,500 in November

• Gold peaked one trading day after we issued our Blow-Off Top Warning.
• A repeat of the 2006 pattern suggests a potential decline toward $3,500 in November.
• Silver, platinum, and mining stocks are expected to follow gold lower, with each potentially collapsing to their 200-day moving averages over the next several weeks.

The Gold Cycle Indicator remains maxed out at 450, noting extreme overbought conditions. In this report, I present the worst-case scenario with targets for metals and miners, assuming they follow the 2006 playbook.

2006 Blow Off Top

During the 2006 blow-off top, gold prices jumped 36% in two months, only to retrace almost all of those gains in just over a month. If a similar pattern unfolds now, gold could correct back toward $3,500 by late November. Note how prices precisely tagged the 200-day MA.

Gold

Gold surged 32% in just two months, and if the 2006 pattern repeats, we could be on the verge of a sharp pullback toward the 200-day moving average by around this time next month (November 21st). The price gap near $3,450 could serve as a potential target if gold revisits the 200-day MA.

Silver

Silver collapsed back below $50.00, supporting at least a local high. If gold slips back to its 200-day MA in November, then silver could certainly fill the price gap near $40.00.

Platinum

Platinum is testing its 50-day EMA, and consecutive closes below this level would confirm an intermediate breakdown. If confirmed, support is likely to emerge near the 200-day moving average.

GDX

Miners collapsed, and the odds favor a significant pullback that could send prices back to support near $55.00 and the 200-day MA as soon as November.

GDXJ

If gold corrects back towards $3,500, then junior miners could revisit support near $71.50 and the 200-day MA before Thanksgiving.

SILJ

If we see a 2006-style correction that is swift and violent, we may see a drop back to support near $16.00.

AEM

A preliminary support level for Agnico Eagle would be around $126.00 in November.

NEM

If we get a 2006-style correction in Newmont, prices could revisit the $61.50 gap by this time next month.

BARRICK

I’d look for support surrounding $23.00, which should correspond with the 200-day MA next month.

Bitcoin

Bitcoin rebounded into resistance at the 50-day EMA. To support the potential for further upside, prices would need to close firmly above the October 13th pivot at $116,000. Otherwise, there’s about a 60% chance the 4-year cycle peaked at $126,300 and that we’re entering a 12-month bear phase.

Tuesday’s breakdown across metals and miners supports the view that a top may be in place, potentially signaling the start of a significant, long-overdue correction. The above targets are preliminary and will be adjusted as these trends develop.
