Are Metals Starting To Crack?

At this point in time, I am starting to see a bit more evidence that we may have a b-wave top in place in both GDX and GLD at this time.  While not the most clear and convincing evidence just yet, we may be starting the wave 1 down in their respective c-waves. While the respective 2nd waves in that wave 1 is quite shallow in both, it does leave some questions about that micro count.

Silver Stretching Its Legs

As I just posted in the trading room as an alert, silver is finally trying to stretch its legs.  But, I still think the evidence suggests this is a final move in this rally rather than the start of a new one.  As I noted in the live video yesterday morning to the full-time membership, the last consolidation just below us really counts best as a triangle.  And, we know that a triangle most commonly takes shape in either a 4th wave or a b-wave.  That means that the move out of a triangle is most often the final move in a trending move whether it is a 5th wave or a c-wave.

Still Expecting Lower Prices In Metals

Nothing has changed in the bigger picture in my metals analysis.  But, the paths to the lower levels is still an open question.Starting with gold, I can now count 5 waves down in a leading diagonal to begin the c-wave lower. But, we really would need to bounce from the 3285 region in the futures (Aug contract) in order to retain this path.

Metals Rally Before Next Bout Of Weakness

Due to my travels, I do not have a lot of time for this update.  So, I am going to keep it simple.GLD seems to be rallying I the [c] wave of an expanded b-wave flat.  Within the [c] wave, we seem to still need a 4-5 to complete it.   But, should we see a 5-wave decline begin from this point forth, then we can view that as wave 1 of the c-wave down, and the wave 2 bounce could be a good shorting opportunity.Silver is still trying to get to its target blue box to complete 5 waves up.  Thereafter, I would still expect a corrective wave [2] pullback, which would be a good buying opportunity.

This Correction In Metals Just Got More Complex

I am sorry to say, but this correction in the metals complex just got more complex.  Let’s start with GDX, which is showing us a rather complex pattern right now.With GDX dropping in a more direct fashion, it opens the door to two potential paths, ultimately taking us much lower in the coming weeks.   If you would look at the attached 8-minute GDX chart, you will see that we have broken down below the last pullback low with 3 waves so far.  That leaves the door open to either complete all 5 waves down which likely suggests a larger a-wave, which would be following by a b-wave bounce, which could take us several weeks itself.

Rally Topping? - Market Analysis for May 7th, 2025

While I was expecting the metals complex to see a b-wave rally in GDX and GLD, the gold rally has begun a bit earlier than I had expected, as I was looking for a bit lower first.  But, the market had other ideas.In both GDX and gold/GLD, it really seems as the more likely perspective is that this rally is a b-wave.   In fact, the rally in GDX and gold have retraced to the .764 region of the prior decline.  And, while I can make an argument for a 5-wave decline from the high in GDX, I really do not see a clear 5-waves down yet in gold.

Gold Still Pointing Lower

It has been relatively clear that gold has been within a consolidation of late.  And, that consolidation seems like a triangle.  The only question today was whether the e-wave of that [b] wave triangle would be able to rally one more time towards just below the c-wave or not.  Initially, I expected it to try one more time to push just a bit higher since the initial move down off the intra-day high looked like a 3-wave decline. But, if we begin to break down below the 3270 region in gold then I have to assume the [c] wave down is in progress.

Can Gold and Silver Diverge?

The simple answer is “yes.”   In fact, I point it out all the time that, in 2011, silver topped 5 months before gold and only saw a corrective rally while gold went on to its ultimate top during a strong run in the summer of 2011.  And, there is no reason we could not see the opposite occur in 2025.Now, I am not saying that gold has certainly topped.  But, it must be a consideration based upon the manner it rallied into the recent high.   Yet, my primary count will remain with an expectation of a (4) (5) before this cycle completes.

Still Some Room – But Have An Eye For The Door

Gold has been on an absolute tear of late.  And, while these types of moves get people so excited and interested in gold, they often are seen towards the end of a move rather than the start of a new move when we are this late in the cycle.  If you remember, I set our secondary target for this bull market in gold to the $3400 region.  And, we have almost attained that target.  So while I still believe that we have one more [4][5] structure to complete before this long-term cycle concludes, you must at least consider the potential that we may be concluding it even earlier than I had expected.  Hence, the “alt-top” in red on my GLD chart.

Silver Is Never Easy – Until It Explodes

Now, the purpose for which I am providing this analysis to you is not to make you go out and mortgage your house and buy silver calls.  I want you to be very deliberate and reasonable when you approach this chart I am going to show you.   But, the reason I am posting it is because I want you to understand what I still expect to see in the silver market before a major top is struck in the metals complex.If you look at the attached SLV weekly FRACTAL chart, you will see two ellipses noted on the chart.   The one on the left represents the consolidation before the explosion in silver in 2010-11.

GDX Broke Upper Support

I just wanted to send out a quick metals update after today's action.GDX has just broken its upper support and the daily MACD is trying to curl down after a negative divergent top.  So, while there is potential for the yellow to increase in probabilty right now, I am not seeing a CLEAR 5 wave decline YET.  I may have to consider a truncated top with yesterday's rally.  So, will watch it closely.As far as silver is concerned, it looks like we are in a 5th wave in the (c) wave of the a-wave of a larger wave (ii), the former yellow count.

Gold Looks Toppy - Market Analysis for Apr 2nd, 2025

No, I am not outright bearish of gold.  But, I have to point out that it is really looking toppy right now, after quite a nice extension.  And, with the MACD on the 60-minute rolling over, well, I really am not sure how much juice this has left in the tank to extend higher.As I noted earlier this week, I would need a sustained break-down below the 284/85 GLD support before we have our first signal that a top of some sort has been struck.For now, I am going to view that top as wave 4 within the c-wave of [v] of v of [3].

We Have Been Here Before

I don't think I can count the number of times anymore where silver has pushed us to the limit only to be turned down again.  Will this time be different?  I do not know, but GLD is concerning me about a potential reversal.  Yet, I fully expect silver WILL provide us with that break out before this bull market comes to a conclusion in the metals sometimes over the coming year or so. As I write this, silver is again trying to "peek" out over the micro pivot.  In fact, it is even approaching the top of the larger degree pivot as well.  So, clearly, this is going to be a very important point.

Quick Update - Market Analysis for Mar 27th, 2025

With GLD now trying to push higher in a more direct fashion, I have to still note that the move up has begun in a very overlapping manner.  So, it is not something I trust at this time.  While it is still quite possible it may complete wave (v) as an ending diagonal, I do not think this move higher will have significant legs.  In fact, I am even considering a short position in GLD if we do break out and complete wave (v) sooner rather than later.But, silver is potentially trying to develop another (1)(2) just below another micro pivot.  So, I am going to be watching this region quite intently.

Lacking Clarity - Market Analysis for Mar 26th, 2025

I wish I could say that the metals were providing us with a clear signal at this time.  But, since silver and GDX had the opportunity to break out in a more direct fashion and have thus far failed to do so, it has brought a bit more uncertainty to the near term.First, let’s outline gold.  As you can see from the attached 8-minute GC chart, there is no clear impulsive rally off this week’s low.  This leads me to view the bounce as being a b-wave, with the expectation of a c-wave decline yet to be seen to fill in the rest of the wave [iv].  Now, let’s look at the GDX chart.
by Avi Gilburt - 2 months ago

GLD Continues To Chug Along And Follow Its Outlined Path

I wish everything in the metals complex would be as relatively easy as GLD has been for many years.   While it occasionally provides us with a twist, it has been rather strongly adhering to the wave count expectations we have presented for many years.As we stand today, I am seeing us completing wave [iii] of v, which can be clearly seen on the 60-minute GLD chart.  That means that I am expecting a wave [iv] pullback in the very near term.  Support for that pullback is the micro 1.00 extension I the 274.70 region, based upon the [i][ii] structure within wave v.

Still No Breakout In Metals YET

Silver is a chart that has me on my toes right now.   It has been grinding up to its pivot of late, but I am still of the opinion that we can see more of a pullback.  If you look at the attached 8-minute chart, you will see how close we are to the pivot, which is the .618 extension of waves 1-2, within wave [3].   And, within that wave 3 of [3], I have a i-ii, [i][ii] count as well, after wave ii pulled back and held the .618 retracement of wave i.  Also, take note that I have adjusted the larger degree pivot on the 144-minute chart, which if broken through would have me in wave 3 of [3].

Developing Bullish Set Up?

With the action we have been seeing of late, there is growing potential that the metals may be trying to push higher sooner rather than later.In silver, I outlined in my last updates that as long as we hold the 31.30 region, we can develop a break out set up.  And, at this time, there is a reasonable 5-wave rally that is completing off the latest pullback low of 31.37.  This now sets us up for a series of 1’s and 2’s, which can trigger if we see a corrective pullback, followed by a rally over the wave i high on the 8-minute chart.

GDX Update - Market Analysis for Mar 3rd, 2025

I wanted to post this update on GDX to the full membership, as it is rather important.As many of you know, I am not a fan of leading diagonals, as they are not terribly reliable as they can just as easily be viewed as a corrective structure.  Yet, that is exactly what we are now dealing with in GDX.While I can count a possible leading diagonal down in GDX for a possible wave 1 of the yellow count, it is still not terribly reliable at this point.   It can also be counted as a corrective wave (ii) pullback in the more immediate bullish count.  But, I am now forced to track both paths.

Holding Their Cards Close To The Vest

Can I provide you with a continuation set up in the metals?  Yes. Can I provide you an upside break out scenario in metals?   Yes.  The problem is that neither is what I would consider high probability right now.  So, unfortunately, the metals are not tipping their hand at this time.  Therefore, for now, I will remain holding my protective puts until the upside becomes more clear and higher probability.First, I cannot say that silver or GDX is providing us with what I would call a CLEAR 5-wave decline which would suggest the yellow count is playing out.
by Avi Gilburt - 3 months ago

GDX Is Positioned Bearishly

As per the title, we seem to have an immediate bearish posture being presented in GDX.  Whereas I am still uncertain as to whether the yellow count will take us below the support box on the 8-minute chart, the structure does seem to suggest we had an initial 5-wave decline (a/1), followed by a corrective bounce (b/2).  Therefore, as long as we remain below last week’s high, I am certainly favoring the downside in the near term.  Of course, if GDX can break out over the high struck last week, it would invalidate this set up, and open the door to the blue count on the daily chart.GLD is really a big question right now.

Silver May Try To Drive This Train

As I posted yesterday, silver MAY be trying to set up a break out sooner rather than later.  Let me reiterate that set up.“If you have been following my silver chart, you would know that we have been developing a potential 1-2 structure within a wave [3] of [iii].   And, with today’s low, we have potentially completed a c-wave as an ending diagonal within wave 2.  Again, I cannot say that this is a high probability set up just yet, as both the GDX and GLD seem to need a pullback.

How Things Change In Metals

It was just two months ago that many were attacking me for my overall bullish bias in the metals complex, as I was reinforcing my view that the bull market is not yet done, despite the decline we were seeing at the time.   And, as gold is making higher highs now, I am still very much of the same opinion.  So, allow me to re-state what I said in my live video today.Two months ago, my primary count maintained an expectation in GLD that we would see 2 more higher highs before this bull market completed.  Today, we are seeing the first of those higher highs.

How Will TSLA Earnings Affect Metals?

With TSLA’s earnings coming out this afternoon, I thought it would be a good time to discuss the ramifications for the metals complex.  As the demand for electric vehicles increases, so does the demand for silver. You see, silver’s high conductivity makes EV’s much more efficient by creating lightweight but strong electrical connections.  In fact, it is used in many crucial applications in production.  As some examples, silver is used to coat electrical contacts for functions like power steering, automatic braking, and navigation systems.  Silver is used in the anode and cathode of EV batteries, which are the electrodes that allow current to flow.

Much Better - Market Analysis for Jan 22nd, 2025

Well, the continuation higher this week has certainly made the GDX and GLD charts a much better leading diagonal structure.  So, the probability that their lows are in place have certainly increased.To make this update very simple, we are now seeking a 3-wave corrective structure in a pullback to make it an even greater probability that we are ready to rally again over the coming weeks and months.Yet, silver is still leaving the door open for a potential lower low.  I really cannot view it as likely as GDX and GLD, as we did not reach the prior highs in silver, which really was my ideal target zone for a wave [1].

My faith in God and my faith in Avi and his team. God lead me to this service over 10 years ago. For a decade I have heard Avi point his bat at this very moment in time calling this S&P level. Though the years I have witnessed him point his bat months, even years before metals hit their highs and lows with almost perfect big picture accuracy. Against every other analysts opinion. I have seen him bullied relentlessly on his public articles on SA and stick to his guns and proven so correct with no one ever apologizing or admitting he called it.

I’ve subscribed for 5 years now and I have to say I see that you’ve been right on this the whole time. Who would’ve thought gold and silver would’ve rallied with rates this high for this long and the markets continued higher as well. Always thought your charts were good but always thought in the back of my mind that rate cuts and other news actually led. So now that I’ve admitted defeat u are free to gloat. Well deserved

"Today, I achieved my highest weekly profit ever ....I see this as a testament to the power of the guidance available here. I ignored all narratives and traded the charts with discipline. I set clear parameters for each trade, immediately placing OCO (One Cancels the Other) orders with both stops and limits. I made some adjustments as the charts evolved, but kept the orders in place, and allowed the process to unfold. Sincere thanks to all the analysts and members who help make this such an incredible community—especially Avi, Zac, Mike, Levi, and Garrett. I'm incredibly grateful!"

CNBC had a stat this morning that over the last 20 years 86% of money managers/hedge funds have underperformed the market. They couldn't figure out why that’s the case given how 'smart' these people are. . . . I know my performance since joining the site has skyrocketed!
