Rate Cut Bets Keep Silver in FocusSilver slipped toward $36 per ounce as investors locked in gains after hitting a 13-year high. The metal remains supported by strong industrial demand, supply deficits, and safe-haven interest during global uncertainty. Industrial uses, especially in solar and electronics, account for over half of the demand. A fifth consecutive annual supply deficit is expected, though the Silver Institute sees the gap narrowing by 21% in 2025. Softer U.S. inflation data for May also increased expectations of Fed rate cuts beginning in September, helping sustain interest in precious metals.
Resistance is set at 36.90, while support stands at 35.40.

Update of the Bullish/Bearish Catalysts for Gold prices________________________________________
⚡️ Gold’s Pullback: A Reset, Not the End
After peaking above $3,500/oz in April, gold’s slide back toward $3,210 marks a sharp—but not unusual—correction. What’s changed in the gold narrative? The rapid unwinding of panic bids as the Fed stays hawkish, the dollar flexes, and risk appetite returns. But beneath the surface, multiple structural drivers—old and new—are shaping gold’s next act.
________________________________________
1. Fed “Higher for Longer” Policy Bias (9/10)
Still the #1 driver.
With inflation sticky and the U.S. labor market robust, the Federal Reserve’s reluctance to cut rates (4.25–4.50%) is pinning real yields near multi-year highs. This erodes the appeal of non-yielding assets like gold, particularly for Western investors.
🦅 Watch for any dovish shift—a single Fed pivot could reignite gold fast.
________________________________________
2. U.S. Dollar Resilience (8.5/10)
The DXY recently surged above 101, buoyed by relative U.S. growth outperformance and ongoing EM weakness. Since gold is dollar-priced, a strong greenback makes gold more expensive for non-dollar buyers, crimping global demand.
💵 Sustained dollar strength could push gold closer to $3,100 unless countered by inflation or new geopolitical stress.
________________________________________
3. Central Bank Buying & “De-Dollarization” Flows (8/10)
This is the new wild card.
Countries like China, India, Turkey, and Russia are accelerating gold reserves accumulation—partly to hedge against dollar-centric sanctions and diversify away from U.S. Treasuries. Q2 2025 data shows a 35% jump in net central bank purchases year-on-year.
🏦 This bid underpins the gold market even when ETFs and retail are sellers.
________________________________________
4. U.S.–China Trade Normalization (7.5/10)
The May 2025 Geneva agreement was a big de-risking event. While tariffs haven’t vanished, steady progress on tech and agriculture reduces tail risk for global trade, putting downward pressure on gold’s safe-haven premium.
🌏 Any breakdown or tariff surprise could quickly reverse this.
________________________________________
5. Algorithmic & Quant Trading Flows (7/10)
Gold’s volatility is now heavily influenced by systematic funds. CTA (commodity trading advisor) and quant-driven selling accelerated the recent drop once $3,300 was breached. This non-fundamental selling creates overshoots—but also sharp reversals on technical bounces.
🤖 Expect snapbacks when positioning reaches extremes.
________________________________________
6. U.S.–U.K. & EU Trade Deals (6.5/10)
Both deals have reduced the global uncertainty premium. While the economic impact is moderate, improved global relations have pushed capital into equities and away from gold.
🇬🇧 Keep an eye on political risk, especially if new tariffs or Brexit-related shocks re-emerge.
________________________________________
7. India–Pakistan and Middle East Geopolitical Risks (6.5/10)
Tensions have cooled, but remain a latent driver. The India–Pakistan border saw restraint in May; Iran–U.S. talks are “cautiously positive.” Any surprise flare-up, especially involving oil, can quickly restore gold’s safe-haven bid.
🕊️ Event-driven spikes likely, but not sustained unless escalation persists.
________________________________________
8. ETF Flows, Retail & Institutional Demand (6/10)
ETF inflows have slowed sharply in 2025, but central bank and Asian buying partly offset this. U.S. retail interest has faded due to higher Treasury yields, but any sign of real rates rolling over could spark new inflows.
📈 ETF demand is now more a symptom than a cause of price moves.
________________________________________
9. Technological Demand & Jewelry Trends (5.5/10)
Longer-term, gold’s use in electronics, EVs, and green tech is rising modestly (up ~3% YoY). Indian and Chinese jewelry demand—seasonally soft now—could rebound late 2025 if income and sentiment recover.
📿 Not a short-term driver, but a steady tailwind in the background.
________________________________________
10. Fiscal Risk & U.S. Debt Sustainability (5.5/10)
Rising concerns about the U.S. debt trajectory, especially if deficits widen or the U.S. nears a shutdown or downgrade, can trigger flight-to-quality bids for gold. This is not the main driver now, but is a key “black swan” risk if Treasury auctions stumble.
💣 Could move up the list rapidly on negative headlines.
________________________________________
🌐 Other Catalysts to Watch:
• Israel – Iran tensions in the Middle East – limited impact on gold prices.
• Crypto Market Volatility (5/10): Periods of sharp crypto drawdowns have triggered some rotation into gold, but the correlation is inconsistent.
• Chinese Real Estate Stress (5/10): Signs of further slowdown or crisis (e.g., major developer defaults) could boost gold as a defensive play in Asia.
• Physical Supply Disruptions (4/10): Mine strikes, export restrictions, or transport bottlenecks can create localized price spikes, but rarely move the global market for long.

🥇 Bottom Line:
Gold’s retreat reflects a rebalancing of risk and yield, but the stage is set for sudden moves—especially if the Fed blinks, the dollar falters, or new shocks emerge. The top three catalysts (Fed, Dollar, Central Bank buying) are especially worth watching as we head into the second half of 2025.

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 6-12: BaseRally In Trend ModeToday's pattern suggests the markets may attempt to identify a base and move higher (rally) off that base level.
Given the overnight price activity, I suggest the process of identifying the base level could prompt a deeper early decline in price - possibly attempting to retest 595-597 lows before finding support and attempting to rally.
As I've been warning over the past few weeks/months, I'm still seeing the Excess Phase Peak pattern playing out as a Flag Termination - rolling into a downtrend and attempting to move back towards the $480 lows as a real possibility. I've been warning and watching for the breakdown in trend - but we've not seen it yet.
Thus, we are still BULLISH until we get a confirmation of a solid breakdown. That would be a move below the 580-585 level at this point. We need to see some type of solid breakdown in price, breaking away from the FLAG setup and moving downward, before I could confidently suggest the Flag Breakdown has happened.
Gold and Silver are making a big move higher. Gold is finally starting to move back above $3400 and I believe watching Silver, Gold, & Platinum rally suggests FEAR is elevating as we move into the end of June.
I still believe Gold has a chance to rally above $4k before the end of June. We'll see if it happens.
BTCUSD is moving into a DUAL-EPP pattern. This is very interesting. Watch the video as I highlight why this could prompt a dual-stage EPP breakdown in Bitcoin over the next 20 to 50+ days.

Silver Tests Key Long-Term ResistanceSilver is testing the 34.85 level, a critical resistance both in the short and long term. Since 2013, a cup and handle formation has developed just beneath this level. A confirmed breakout could signal sustained long-term bullish momentum.
Supporting this outlook, the gold/silver ratio has recently shown a decisive tilt in gold's favor, reaching historically extreme levels. This test of 34.85 might be the catalyst silver bulls have been waiting for and a return to normal signal for gold/silver ratio with pair trade oppurtunity.
However, caution is warranted. Silver is known for sharp intraday and weekly reversals. Confirming the breakout or false breakout could become tricky.
SILVER: Absolute Price Collapse Ahead! Short!
My dear friends,
Today we will analyse SILVER together☺️
The recent price action suggests a shift in mid-term momentum. A break below the current local range around 36.310 will confirm the new direction downwards with the target being the next key level of 36.139.and a reconvened placement of a stop-loss beyond the range.
❤️Sending you lots of Love and Hugs❤️
SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 6-11: Bottom-Base Rally Counter TrndToday's counter-trend Bottom-Base Rally pattern suggests the markets may attempt to find a peak and roll over into a downtrend.
The normal Bottom-Base Rally pattern is similar to the start of a moderate price base/bottom, then moving into a moderate rally phase.
In counter-trend mode this pattern would be inverted - forming a Top and then moving into a downward price trend.
I've been warning of the potential of a rollover top type of pattern in the SPY over the past few weeks - but it never really setup/confirmed.
I'll be curious to see if this counter-trend pattern, today, sets up some type of big top formation in the SPY/QQQ. It might be related to news as well.
Gold and Silver have a Gap-Stall-Revert-FLUSH pattern. This is always an interesting pattern because is suggests price is going to attempt to either gap and trend or stall and revert. My guess is we are looking at more trending in metals today.
Platinum is RIPPING higher (PL1!). Because of this, I believe Silver and Gold will attempt to follow Platinum and move to the upside today.
BTCUSD is stalling a bit. We'll see if we get any big price move in Bitcoin today. After the big rally over the past few days, it will be interesting to see if BTCUSD reverts downward or continues higher.
Overall, today's patterns suggest the markets are seeking direction. Get ready for an exciting day in the markets.

Silver Holds Near 13-Year HighsSilver has surged past the $36.40 per ounce mark, reaching its highest level in 13 years after a clean breakout from a one-month consolidation phase spanning April and May 2025. The breakout targets the $37 level and aligns with a rising channel defined by higher lows since February 2024.
If silver retraces below $36, potential support levels include $35.70, $35.30, and $34.70, which may offer a base for consolidation or a recharge before continuation of the broader uptrend. A sustained hold above $37.30 could open the path toward the $40 level, further validating a larger inverted head and shoulders pattern on the monthly chart.
Are we on track to revisit 2011 highs in 2025?

Silver Bulls Breach Key Resistance – Momentum BuildsSilver (XAG/USD) has punched through a major horizontal resistance level around the psychological $35.00 mark, marking a significant technical breakout with bullish continuation potential.
🔍 Technical Highlights
Breakout Above Multi-Month Resistance: Price has cleanly broken above the key $35.00 zone, which had capped upside since late 2023. The breakout follows a tight consolidation range, suggesting a measured accumulation phase has ended.
Moving Averages Aligned Bullishly:
The 50-day SMA is rising sharply and sits well above the 200-day SMA.
Price is comfortably trading above both averages, confirming a strong uptrend structure.
MACD in Strong Positive Territory: MACD has surged above its signal line, reinforcing bullish momentum. No signs of a bearish crossover in sight.
RSI Enters Overbought Zone: RSI is currently near 70. While this signals strong momentum, it also raises the potential for short-term cooling or consolidation before any continued leg higher.
⚙️ Outlook
The breakout above $35.00 represents a major bullish development, potentially opening the door to further upside exploration. The impulsive nature of recent gains, combined with rising momentum indicators and trend-confirming moving averages, all favor the bulls. However, the overbought RSI suggests the possibility of a short-term pullback or sideways consolidation before the next move higher.
Traders may want to monitor for a potential retest of the $35.00 area as support, which could offer a higher-probability continuation setup within the broader uptrend.

Platinum 10 years accumulation 2 000 USD Overview of Catalysts
Here’s a detailed look at the top 10 key catalysts influencing platinum prices—and how they stack up on a 0–10 impact scale 🎯.
1. Supply Deficits (Mining Shortfalls) ⛏️
Trend: Persistent structural deficits—the largest since 2013—with a projected deficit of \~598 koz in 2024.
Drivers: Declining output in South Africa and Russia, underinvestment, and aging mines.
Impact Score: 10/10 – Direct upward pressure on price.
2. Industrial Demand & Green-Energy Growth 🏭
Trend: Industrial consumption is booming, with strong growth in sectors like wind turbines, glass, and electronics.
Support: This broad demand fuels a large part of the supply deficit, and goes well beyond automotive use.
Impact Score: 9/10 – Strong structural support.
3. Auto Catalyst Substitution (Pd → Pt) 🔄
Trend: Cost-effective substitution as platinum approaches price parity with palladium; significant volume was substituted in 2023, with more projected for 2024.
Significance: Boosts automotive demand in an area previously dominated by palladium.
Impact Score: 8/10.
4. Electric Vehicle Adoption (EVs) ⚡
Trend: EVs don’t use platinum in catalytic converters, which is a structural hit to demand as EV growth continues.
Significance: Long-term downside pressure.
Impact Score: 7/10.
5. Hydrogen Fuel Cell Demand 💧
Trend: Hydrogen vehicles use platinum, with projected demand growth toward 2030.
Limitations: Growth remains slower than battery EVs.
Impact Score: 6/10.
6. Recycling Constraints 🔄
Trend: Recycling, which provides about a quarter of supply, is falling due to fewer end-of-life vehicles and glass, reducing the supply buffer.
Market Effect: This amplifies supply tightness.
Impact Score: 6/10.
7. Chinese Emission Policies 🏭
Trend: China’s tightening emissions regulations are supporting demand, with end uses well protected against a slowdown.
Importance: China is the largest platinum user; policy gives stability.
Impact Score: 7/10.
8. Jewellery & Investment Trends 💍
Trend: Jewellery demand remains steady, and investment demand is rising.
Note: This is a smaller demand segment, but it is supportive.
Impact Score: 5/10.
9. Macroeconomic & Auto Production Outlook 📉
Trend: Weak global auto production is lowering platinum use, but recovery in auto could lift demand.
Aftermath: Economic rebound could support prices.
Impact Score:** 5/10.
10. Speculative Sentiment & Positioning 📈
Trend: Inventories are depleted; investors are waiting for a breakout.
Tipping Point: A price surge could spark momentum-driven demand.
Impact Score:** 4/10.
| Rank | Catalyst | Score (/10) |
| ---- | ---------------------------------- | ----------- |
| 1 | Supply Deficit | 10 |
| 2 | Industrial / Green-Energy Demand | 9 |
| 3 | Auto Catalyst Pd → Pt Substitution | 8 |
| 4 | EV Adoption (Negative Impact) | 7 |
| 5 | Chinese Emission Policies | 7 |
| 6 | Hydrogen Fuel Cell Growth | 6 |
| 7 | Recycling Constraints | 6 |
| 8 | Jewellery & Investment Demand | 5 |
| 9 | Macro Slowdowns / Auto Production | 5 |
| 10 | Speculative Positioning | 4 |
📌 Key Insights & Outlook
* Tight supply and diversified demand—especially from green energy and industrial sectors—are the strongest bullish forces for platinum.
* Auto-driven substitution offers further upside, while EV growth and recycling limitations act as constraints.
* Chinese regulations add resilience; hydrogen offers potential if growth accelerates.
* Jewellery and investment flows remain minor but supportive.
* Much depends on auto sector recovery and investor psychology—momentum effects could amplify gains if technical levels break.
🔮 Final Take
Platinum remains positioned for medium-term strength, thanks to severe supply tightness and robust non-auto demand drivers. For investors, key areas to watch are further deficits, industrial trends, and catalytic substitution. Be mindful of potential headwinds from EV adoption and macroeconomic softness, but the structural case remains compelling.
SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 6-10 : POP PatternToday's POP pattern suggests a potential big price move will take place. Given the overnight activity on the ES (rallying higher then rolling over), I suggest today's price move may attempt to retest these overnight highs, then repeat the breakdown phase into the close.
The markets continue to try to melt upward. This trend will continue until the markets decide to break downward.
After the deep low created by the tariff news, the markets continue to try to rally to new highs. It is very likely that Q2 earnings data may push the SPY to new ATH levels before we see any big rotation in price.
The markets have a tendency to move just above recent highs, then stall and revert downward as a pullback. This move may be no different.
The continued stalling of price trying to move higher recently suggests the markets are running into moderate resistance and I believe traders are actively pulling capital away from this rally.
The trend is still BULLISH. Stay cautious of this upward move as a breakdown could happen at any time.
Gold and Silver are moving into an impressive rally phase. Silver and Platinum have moved considerably higher over the past 10+ days. I believe Gold is lagging and will make a big move higher over the next 5 to 10+ days.
Silver is targeting $41-44+. Gold should target $3400 to $3500+ near the same time.
Bitcoin made a huge rally yesterday - reaching my 110,500 upper resistance level. Now, we see if Bitcoin has the momentum to carry higher or if it will fail and rollover into a downtrend.
It seems we are right as a MAKE or BREAK level in the markets. I'm still a believer of MELT UP until it fails.
I continue to watch for technical failure - but I've not seen it happen yet.
