Gold Price Forecast: Next Buying Opportunity Expected in July

Our Gold Cycle Indicator finished at 150. Expect the GCI to enter cycle bottoming around mid-year.

Gold

I think gold is forming an interim low, and I expect a rebound into May before slipping back towards $4,300 for a mid-year low.

Silver

Here’s a rough estimate of what I expect in silver over the next few months. A decisive breakdown in the dollar would change my outlook.

Platinum

I see platinum bouncing into May, then slipping into a mid-year low, potentially testing support near the October $1,750 high.

GDX

Here’s a rough estimate of where I think miners are heading over the next few months. A strong breakout above the April high would invalidate this view.

GDXJ

I see juniors potentially testing or breaking marginally below the March low, perhaps sometime in July. A decisive breakout above the April high would alter my outlook.

SILJ

If miners bounce into May and rollover as expected, I’ll look for a retest of the March low sometime in July.

S&P 500

The S&P 500 jumped to new all-time highs as major tech earnings beat estimates. I’d be surprised if this marks the beginning of a sustained upswing, and therefore believe the upside is somewhat limited.

Bitcoin

Progressive closes below the 50-day EMA ($73,675), paired with a breakdown in momentum (above), would support the onset of the next downswing.

In Closing

Gold and silver are taking a much-needed breather after explosive gains in 2025. I see gold reaching $8,000 in 2027 and potentially as high as $15,000 in 2031. Silver will need time to digest its surge to $120, but my work supports a target range of $300 to $500 within the next few years.
