Gold (and silver) have been hit arduous in February. We predicted a pullback would occur, and we mentioned it might be wholesome, kind of a ‘bullish pullback’. We defined this in Gold’s Wholesome Pullback Ought to Enhance Its Lengthy Time period Profile. Whereas the pullback continues to be working ‘in full pressure’ we begin seeing how the gold chart is popping stunning, clearly supplied key assist ranges will maintain.

In our Gold Value Forecast 2023 we predicted that “gold can have a powerful bullish cycle which is able to convey gold near or again above $2,000“. This forecast was revealed in Oct of 2022, when markets have been insanely risky and your entire world was satisfied that an epic recession was imminent. In a approach, our 2023 prediction is already hit.

We additionally wrote:

We strongly consider that gold’s dominant development is long run bullish. Nevertheless, with financial insurance policies being restrictive as 2023 kicks off making a disinflationary development, we see gold consolidating in 2023 earlier than hitting new ATH at a later cut-off date.

In the long run, that’s what issues, the long run development. We’re traders, not merchants.

However the level we try to make is that we consider that gold will re-attack 2000 USD/oz, nonetheless this yr. It would take a number of months, perhaps a number of quarters, however gold is predicted to consolidate earlier than transferring again increased.

The long run gold chart makes that time, in our view, supplied 1743 goes to carry on a 5 day closing foundation.

That is according to what we defined in Gold: Shut To First rate Assist Ranges:

If the final level is what the market is engaged on, then you possibly can make certain that assist stage 1777 and the inexperienced falling trendline will maintain. In that situation gold will transfer again to 2000 USD/oz and clear that stage, within the 2nd half of 2023.

That’s what we proceed to see: a pleasant consolidation within the context of what’s turning into an enormous consolidation, the one which began in Sept of 2020.

So, when your eye is concentrated on the lengthy consolidation, as seen on beneath chart, the gold chart turns stunning. We’ll stick with that stunning view, it would invalidate if and when gold falls beneath 1678 USD/oz for greater than 5 consecutive days.

Till then, we’re long run bullish gold and tremendous bullish silver.
