Gold and Silver Will Go Much Higher, After the Market Resets

In this interview with Charlotte McLeod, I walk through what I’m seeing unfold in gold and silver and why, despite the bullish long-term backdrop, I’m not convinced this move is ready to run uninterrupted. Yes, the conditions supporting precious metals are real, and yes, prices could still push a bit higher in the near term. But markets do not move in clean, straight lines. From my perspective, gold and silver still need to work through a meaningful pullback, a necessary reset that shakes out late buyers and resets sentiment before the next major opportunity develops.

I also explain why protecting capital and respecting trend cycles matters more than chasing headlines or momentum. There will absolutely be a time to be back in metals, because I believe gold and silver will move dramatically higher from current levels, but that opportunity is likely a year or two away. Until then, patience, discipline, and a willingness to hold cash are part of the process. My focus remains on riding trends while they are intact, stepping aside when risk increases, and being prepared for the next high probability phase when the market gives us a clear signal.
