With the action seen in recent months, Gold has continued to play out with the bigger bullish trend, coming from the bigger four-year cycle. That trend is favored to hold up into early 2026, before topping the metal for a larger-degree decline into later next year.
Gold's 10-Day Cycle
For the short-term picture, we can take a look at our smallest-tracked wave, the 10-day cycle in Gold:
The upward phase of our 10-day wave (chart, above) is currently deemed to be in force, though with the next smaller-degree correction expected to come from this wave. In terms of price, any push below the 3953.40 figure (December, 2025 contract) would infer its next downward phase to be in force, with the detrend that tracks this cycle projecting its next trough to form around mid-October.
In terms of patterns, the next correction phase of this 10-day wave could well end up as a countertrend affair, due to the position of our larger 72-day cycle, which is the most dominant cycle in the Gold market, and is shown on the chart below:
...
Several key indicators point to the possibility that gold may be nearing a significant peak:
- The U.S. dollar appears to have found a bottom, which historically applies downward pressure on gold.
- Our Gold Cycle Indicator has reached its maximum reading of 450 — a level often associated with topping patterns.
- Gold is currently trading approximately 75% above its 200-week moving average, a level that often triggers 20% corrections.
- The gold cycle has been forming significant highs roughly every 115 trading days, and prices just executed a swing high on day 117.
While a top in gold doesn’t necessarily signal immediate weakness in silver, platinum, or mining stocks, they often follow gold's lead. That said, there are periods where gold consolidates while other metals and miners continue to rally.
In short, extreme caution is warranted as gold may be setting up for a multi-month correction. However, this doesn't change our long-term bullish outlook. I remain confident that gold will reach between $8,000 and $10,000 by the end of this decade.

When gold broke decisively above $2,100 in March 2024, it signaled the start of the accelerated phase of this bull market. At the time, I projected a move to $3,000. That target was hit within a year, and gold hasn’t looked back since.
As mentioned in my recent articles, Gold was seen as pushing higher overall into mid-to-late August, before dropping down to a secondary low into what now looks to be late- September. From there, a sharp rally of some 14-20% is favored to play out, lasting well into...

Gold Price Forecast FAQ
How do you forecast the price of gold?
Predicting gold prices can be said to be both a science and an art. For example, analysis of gold supply and demand is scientific and completely objective whereas aspects of technical and sentiment analysis of the current gold market can be more of an art as it relies on the skills and perspective of the gold analyst.
Generally speaking, when the focus of the gold forecast is longer term then analysis of the fundamentals, ie scientific analysis, comes to the fore.
For shorter-term predictions of gold prices, the price of gold in the coming weeks and perhaps few months, technical analysis of past and current gold prices, market trends, as well as current market sentiment can be more actionable predictors. Here, the fundamentals can still play a role but generally serve more as background details.
What are the key factors for long term gold forecasts?
When forecasting what may happen to the price of gold longer term, there are many things to consider including economic trends, the impact of current and expected monetary policy, QE, debt monetization, and the aggregate impact on future currency valuation.
Does the price of gold go up when the stock market goes down?
The price of gold is often negatively correlated to the stock markets. When the markets go down, gold prices usually go up. However, this is not always true. Sometimes the price of gold and stocks both go up and down in unison. Fundamental factors play an important role and need to be carefully analyzed. Historically, however, the price of gold is not tied to the fluctuations of stock and bonds. This is one of the chief reasons when one should have gold in their portfolio – to protect the long-term value of your investments.
Does the value of the US dollar predict the price of gold?
As gold is traditionally quoted in US dollars, the price of gold is negatively correlated to the strength of the USD. The weaker the US dollar, the cheaper it is to purchase gold. Therefore, if economic factors predict a strengthening of the US dollar then this will tend to drop the price of gold, and vice-versa. According to the statistics (since 1973), the long-term correlation between the U.S. dollar index and the gold prices is -0.6 so this link is quite strong.
How do US interest rates impact future gold prices?
The level of US interest rates is an important driver of future gold prices. When investing in gold, the investor is faced with the opportunity cost of gold - a non-interest bearing asset. The higher the US interest rate for holding US dollars or investing in Treasuries, the higher the opportunity cost of holding gold. It is more likely, therefore, that a rally in the price of gold will be forecasted the lower the US benchmark interest rate.
