Methodology & Frameworks
Primary framework: Elliott Wave (Gary’s approach)
- Identify motive phase (waves 1–5) versus corrective phase (A‑B‑C).
- Interpret the January top and subsequent decline as a completed five‑wave motive to the ATH, followed by an A‑B‑C correction that bottomed around $4,100.
- Treat the restart as a new motive phase (primary wave 1), then project:
- Wave 3 should go above ~$5,200.
- Final wave 5 should finish above the prior ATH (~$5,600).
- Expect corrective waves 2 and 4 inside the new motive phase; timing is indeterminate (Elliott Wave prioritizes price structure over time).
Technical complements
- Fibonacci retracement: the March fall bottomed just below the 61.8% retracement of the Aug→Jan move.
- Use daily candlestick charts and Elliott Wave plotting tools (Lux Algo on TradingView) to validate counts.
Macro Linkage & Interpretation
- Oil and dollar moves are key drivers for gold:
- Higher oil → higher inflation → typically bullish for gold.
- Lower oil → reduced inflationary pressure → tailwind off gold.
- Dollar weakness (~3% decline) is supportive for gold.
- Oil can act as a leading indicator of Fed reaction; spikes in oil historically preceded Fed tightening moves in 2022.
- The recent oil spike was characterized as delivery/disruption driven (e.g., Strait of Hormuz). If shipping/delivery normalizes, oil should fall.
Income Generation on Gold (Monetary Metals)
- Lease gold via Monetary Metals platform to earn yield paid in ounces (up to 4% annually), with monthly accrual.
- Metal remains in the investor’s asset base and is redeemable at any time.
Key Interpretations, Forecasts & Cautions
- Structural forecast (Gary):
- The ABC correction is believed complete and a new motive phase is underway for gold.
- Target: within roughly 3–4 months (could be longer or shorter), final fifth wave should exceed the prior ATH (~$5,600); wave 3 should take gold above ~$5,200 en route.
- Short term: possible local top; corrective waves (2 and 4) will occur — not a straight parabolic rise.
- Silver:
- Expected to follow gold and also reach new ATH given its stronger percentage behavior; historically outperformed gold on the prior rally (noted ~50%+ outperformance).
- Oil / Fed dynamics:
- Persistent high oil (driven by delivery constraints) could push the Fed to maintain or raise rates; oil historically led Fed moves in 2022.
- If supply and shipping normalize, oil prices should retreat.
- Market behavior note:
- Recent unusual correlations — gold and equities rising together, gold rising with falling oil — are attributed to uncertainty and flows; current behavior departs from classical correlations.
- Local inflation example (Hawaii):
- Higher retail prices, with electricity and gasoline notable; island dependence on shipping amplifies price effects.
Key Dates & Timeline References

Performance & Volatility Notes
- Gold displayed high intraday volatility; cited example: open ~5,450 to close ~4,049 on a single day (“Friday the 30th” referenced).
- Silver produced larger percentage returns and larger drawdowns over the same cycles.
Tools & Indicators Referenced
- Daily candlestick charts (continuous contract for gold).
- Fibonacci retracement (61.8% level highlighted).

Risks, Caveats & Disclosures
- Elliott Wave is not a precise timing tool; time to completion is uncertain.
- Technical models can be out of sync with fundamentals; markets may produce atypical correlations.

Key takeaway: The technical read (Elliott Wave plus Fibonacci) suggests an end to the corrective phase for gold and the start of a new motive advance, with targets above ~$5,200 (wave 3) and a final push above the prior ATH (~$5,600). Expect intermittent corrective waves and meaningful volatility; macro drivers (oil, dollar, Fed policy) remain important wildcards.
