Gold & Silver Reversing? What To Look For Moving Forward!

Summary

The Bald Guy Money host argues that gold and silver may have bottomed after a sharp correction, but could consolidate for months before resuming their longer-term uptrends. The thesis rests on central-bank gold buying, support levels holding, easing bond yields, and continued concern about US debt and financial-market risks. The host stresses that a reversal is possible, not certain.

Market outlook and technical framework

Gold: The host describes a “price sandwich” between a trader selling zone near $4,800/oz and central-bank buying around $4,000/oz. Gold held roughly $4,100/oz, identified as the March low, and recovered after briefly falling below it.

A nearby resistance line is just above $4,300/oz, with the 50-day moving average around $4,335/oz. A sustained break above both levels—particularly if followed by strength over the next two weeks—would make the host more confident in a trend reversal. The host also says gold’s RSI made a higher low while its price made a lower low, suggesting selling pressure may be weakening. Analyst Daniel Wilhelmi is credited with highlighting this signal. The host sees $4,800/oz as the main barrier to resuming the uptrend.

Silver: The host places silver’s “sandwich” between a former support/resistance area near $71/oz and support around $55–$60/oz.

Chart patterns and confirmation: The host continues to favor a cup-and-handle pattern, while acknowledging a double bottom at the July lows as an alternative. The proposed confirmation process is to:

1. Look for higher lows compared with the July lows.
2. Watch whether key support holds.
3. For gold, monitor a break above approximately $4,300 and the 50-day moving average near $4,335.
4. Look for follow-through strength over the following two weeks before treating a reversal as more convincing.

Mining shares: The GDX gold-mining ETF rose 1.7% last week, compared with a 1.2% gain in gold. The host views that relative strength, along with a bullish-looking chart “tail,” as a positive but not conclusive signal.

Macro and market factors

The host says China made its largest gold purchase since 2023, while Poland added nearly 25 tonnes in September and is seeking to build reserves to 700 tonnes. He argues that central-bank buying has supported gold and could limit downside.

Other factors cited include:

• Concern about Federal Reserve independence following President Donald Trump’s investigation into Fed Governor Lisa Cook, which the host sees as supportive of precious metals.
• Weakness in the Nasdaq and AI-related stocks. The host says OpenAI revenue was about 28% below forecasts, raising questions about AI demand, pricing, losses, and the sustainability of the equity-market rally.
• The possibility that a stock-market correction could redirect capital toward gold and silver as havens.
• Easing bond yields after a sharp rise, temporarily reducing pressure on metals.
• Historical patterns in which gold and silver have often reached lows near US midterm elections. The next election is November 3, 2026.
• A structural silver deficit and broader geopolitical and financial risks as longer-term supports.

Longer-term roadmap and targets

The host now expects further consolidation in gold and silver, potentially through the November 2026 midterms and possibly into summer 2027. He says markets may then begin anticipating Fed rate cuts if the Fed stops raising rates, while noting that this outlook depends on the financial system remaining intact.

This revised timing could delay his earlier expectation for gold’s next major advance from mid-2028 to late 2028 or the first half of 2029. His stated strategy is to gradually exit mining stocks when gold reaches $6,000/oz. He expects silver could reach $150–$200/oz between mid-2028 and the first half of 2029.

The host says the SIL Silver Miners ETF was up 2% in 2026 and 27% below its January high, while silver was 50% below its high. He interprets this relative performance as potential upside for silver miners if silver prices stabilize at higher levels.

He acknowledges that the timing of his earlier roadmap was too optimistic and says the scale and duration of the war with Iran had been underestimated. He plans to revise targets and dates as new data arrives.

Gold revaluation, US debt, and Judy Shelton

The video discusses Judy Shelton, described as a supporter of sound money and gold, taking an advisory role at the US Treasury. The host cautions that her appointment is not evidence that the US plans to revalue gold or adopt a gold-backed bond.

According to the host, gold would need to be revalued to about $153,000/oz to cover more than $40 trillion of US national debt with US gold reserves. He argues that even partial backing would not resolve the government’s spending and debt trajectory. He cites estimates that US debt could reach $50 trillion by January 2029.

The host says the long-term US bond ETF TLT was trading below 80, near historic lows, and interprets this as a sign of weak confidence in long-term US bonds. He considers it more likely that Shelton’s role is intended to offer a different perspective, assess the implications of China’s gold accumulation, and reassure dollar skeptics than to signal an imminent return to the gold standard.

He warns viewers not to rely on claims of an imminent revaluation as a way to “win the gold and silver lottery.” In his view, gold and silver are already revaluing through market prices.

Cautions, disclosures, and promotions

The host says viewers do not need to put everything into precious metals, while cautioning that they may end up underallocated. The outlook includes substantial uncertainty: the host describes reversal signals as possible, conditions the technical case on confirmation, and says forecasts may shift with new data.
