Gold & Silver Begin The Move To New All-Time Highs

By: Chris_Vermeulen

We warned about this move many months ago and just 6 days ago we issued a research post suggesting Gold had cleared major resistance and would start a rally mode to push above $2000 – possibly above $2100.  Well, guess what happened right after we made that statement? Yup – Gold started to rally higher and is currently trading near $1790 – about to break $1800 for the first time in 2020.

HOW WILL GOLD REACT IN THIS PARABOLIC RALLY?

What we really want you to focus on is the fact that Gold is rallying to levels above $1800 (near all-time highs) while the US stock market has entered an upside parabolic price trend.  What does it mean when metals are rallying and the stock market is rallying at the same time?  The supply-side of precious metals has been restricted because of the COVID-19 virus event and central banks have been accumulating Gold and Silver over the past 7+ years by large amounts.  This suggests central banks and precious metals traders believe metals prices will continue to skyrocket while the risks to the equities markets, credit markets, and global economy increases.

Gold prices climbed in the early 2000s after the DOT COM bubble burst (starting to rise in 2002).  The US stock market eventually bottomed near April 2003 – yet Gold continued to rally from near the $281 level to $992 in early 2008 – a massive +665% over just 5 years.

Gold continued to rally after some wild rotation near the 2008 peak in the US stock market.  Gold bottomed in November 2008 near $710 before rallying to $1924 in September 2011.  This rally took place while the US stock market was also rallying because of the fear in the market from the 2008 (and 1999 DOT COM), market collapse events had not subsided.  Traders and Investors were still very fearful of the truth of the economic recovery and stock market recovery at that time – so they continued to hedge in precious metals.

Right now, the US stock market has entered a massive parabolic upside price move while Gold is starting a breakout upside price move targeting the 2011 all-time high near $1924.  What this is telling us is that global investors and traders are very fearful of this rally in the stock market and are actively hedging in Gold and Silver.  Traders understand the risks to the credit and banking system and are playing the rally in the stock market cautiously while “loading up” on Gold as a means to protect against unknown risks.

June 23, 2020: US Stock Market Enters Parabolic Price Move – Be Prepared, Part I

HOW BIG COULD THE RALLY IN GOLD REALLY BE?

We believe the upside price move in Gold, coinciding with a potential parabolic upside price move in the US stock market, could represent a very unique scenario where the US Federal Reserve and Global Central Banks have entered the ultimate battle to attempt to regain control of the global capital and credit markets after the 2008 credit crisis and the current COVID-19 economic crisis.  The only reason Gold is climbing to near new all-time high levels is that global risk has become a major issue and the US Fed as well as central banks are doing everything possible to provide capital liquidity and support through what may become an extended global recession.

Right now, Gold is hedging global market risks and unknowns.  Once Gold clears the $2000 price level, we believe Gold will enter a parabolic upside price trend that could accelerate well above $3250 very quickly – possibly before the end of 2020.  This would indicate that global traders and investors have priced global market risk at likely 3x higher than most common risk-off market scenarios.  The only other time when this extreme risk factoring took place in Gold was in early 1980 when interest rates were 15% or higher and the US economy had entered a period of stagflation (the late 1970s).  At that time, the price of Gold reached nearly 7x the price of the SPX at that time before contracting after a peak in 1981.

If our research is correct, Gold has just begun an upside price rally that will attempt to hedge credit and global market risks resulting from the past 10+ years of US Federal Reserve and global central bank intervention.  The attempts of the global central banks to support the credit and capital markets have created a massive credit/debt bubble that has pushed the US stock market into an incredible bubble rally.  We’ve seen nothing like this in recent history.

Until fiscal responsibility returns to the global markets, expect Gold and Silver to continue to hedge global risks and while the world continues to expand debt and credit in an attempt to support weaker economic data/output – continue to expect hedging to continue.  Until global investors perceive the debt/credit risks have abated – Gold and Silver will continue to rally in an attempt to hedge the massive risks to the global credit and banking sectors.

At this point – it is like a game of “chicken”.  Either the global central banks find some way to prompt organic economic growth or the precious metals markets will continue to illustrate the fear in the markets related to credit risks.  Should the credit markets or banking sector collapse or experience any real extended risks, Gold could rally to unbelievable levels (like in 1979~80; where the price of Gold was over $650 per ounce and the price of the SPX was $110).  If that were to happen at today’s levels, Gold would reach levels above $22,250 or higher.  Think about it.

We continue to urge our clients to stay very cautious of the current price rally in the US stock market as we continue to see risks shuffling just below the surface.  Watch Gold and Silver.  Once these metals start to really breakout, you are going to see a big shift in how investors perceive risk in the global markets.  Read our article about the US stock market going parabolic – it is important that you understand what is happening right now.

WHAT WOULD THAT LOOK LIKE FOR SILVER?

Silver is likely one of the most incredible opportunities for skilled technical traders ever.  This secondary precious metal is still trading below $19 per ounce – well below the $50 per ounce peak reached in 2011.  If you understand our logic and can appreciate how Gold could rally to levels above $5000 or $10,000 because of extreme risk factoring, then consider that Silver could rally to levels above $250 per ounce given the same risk factors – that’s a 1300% price increase.

This is why we continue to urge our clients and followers to stay cautious – stay very cautious.  We’ve been mostly in cash and have been executing very selective “low allocation” trades over the past 5+ months.  We called for a massive super-cycle event in August 2019 based on our 600+ year super-cycle modeling.  When that longer-term super-cycle was delayed because of the US/China trade deal news near the end of 2019, we knew the super-cycle event would happen at some point in the near future.  Along comes the COVID-19 event about 60 days later.  It just took another 2 months for the world to understand how much risk was involved in a global pandemic event.  The process of the world reacting to the COVID-19 risks set off a series of events that leads us to right now.

Pay attention.  There will be no Mulligans in this round of play.  You’ll either be prepared for what is likely to happen or you’ll take far greater risks than you should throughout the next 5+ years.  We’re here to help.  Read our research and learn how we can help you protect and grow your wealth.
