Gold May Need One More Washout Before the Next Leg Higher

The consensus remains overwhelmingly bullish on gold. Ironically, that’s one of the reasons I think patience is warranted.

My longer-term view hasn’t changed. I still believe gold is in a structural bull market. What has changed is the timing.

Rather than chasing prices here, I believe the higher-probability opportunity lies lower specifically into the $3,400-$3,500 region, where a major institutional demand zone sits beneath the market.

Two Gold Myths Worth Ignoring

Before discussing where I think gold is heading, it’s worth clearing up two narratives that repeatedly dominate headlines.

Myth #1: Mine production drives gold prices.

It doesn’t.

Annual mine production is roughly 5,000 tonnes. Above-ground gold stocks exceed 220,000 tonnes.
