- Ascending Triangle Pattern: A bullish chart pattern indicating a potential breakout to the upside.
- Distribution: Selling pressure occurring during an uptrend, often indicated by candles with long tails.
- Advanced Decline Line (ADL): A breadth indicator showing the cumulative participation of stocks in a given index.
- Cup and Handle Pattern: A bullish continuation chart pattern.
- Extended Market: A market that has risen rapidly and may be due for a correction.

Market Overview & Silver’s Historic Move (December 19th, 2025)
This analysis focuses on the current market situation, particularly the significant breakout in silver, as of December 19th, 2025. The core message is a two-part observation: historic breakout moves rarely experience substantial corrections, but silver is currently “quite extended” in the short term, potentially signaling a near-term correction offering a buying opportunity.
Gold Analysis
Gold has not yet surpassed its October high, indicating potential distribution (selling pressure) as evidenced by candles with long tails on the daily chart. The speaker expresses a preference for market consolidation – potentially forming a cup and handle or ascending triangle pattern – for a month to three months, to set the stage for a move towards $5,000. This consolidation would allow for a healthier, more sustainable advance.
Silver – Daily & Weekly Charts: Fibonacci & Potential Targets
Silver has already achieved two measured upside targets of $62 and $66, currently trading at $67.21. Analysis using Fibonacci sequences (between recent lows and highs) projects a potential target of $68 on the daily chart. The speaker acknowledges their limited expertise with Fibonacci but highlights the convergence of these lines.
On the weekly chart, silver has risen approximately 50% in the last two months from a low point. While a long-term target of $95-$100 is anticipated, the current price may be unsustainable in the short term (next few weeks/month). Another Fibonacci sequence, connecting the 2022 low to the current price, suggests a potential interim peak at $73, followed by a consolidation phase potentially back into the $60s. The speaker emphasizes that weakness is necessary to attract more buyers and facilitate the long-term ascent to $95-$100.
Historical Analogies & Breakout Behavior
Examining historical breakouts in silver (1967, 1978-1980, 1973) reveals a pattern of pausing or correcting at levels similar to the current price before continuing upward. The 1967 and 1978-1980 moves both paused around the current price level before continuing. The 1973 move took longer to gain momentum. These analogs suggest a potential correction is likely.
Comparisons to breakouts in other commodities (oil and copper) illustrate the potential for significant gains following a long base period. Oil, after a 25-year base, saw a nearly 100% move in the following years, eventually reaching $150 from $40. Copper, breaking out of a 31-year base in 2005, experienced a 170% gain in approximately 12 months with minimal corrections. Silver’s current 45-year base suggests similar potential.
Mining Stocks (GDX, GDXJ, SILJ)
Mining stocks (GDX, GDXJ, SILJ) are outpacing gold, with GDX and GDXJ achieving new highs. However, silver stocks are not as strong as silver itself. Ratio charts comparing GDX/GDXJ to the S&P 500 show similar patterns to gold/silver ratios, but with a slight lag. The GDX and GDXJ are approaching a 13-year long base breakout, suggesting potential for significant gains over the next 12-18 months, even with a short-term pullback.
The Advanced Decline Line (ADL) for GDX shows positive divergences, indicating strong participation and supporting a bullish outlook for the sector. Daily candle charts for the miners suggest a potential mini cup and handle pattern forming, with upside targets around $87 for GDX and $34-35 for SILJ.
Actionable Insights & The Daily Gold Premium
The speaker emphasizes the importance of buying weakness in a bull market, accumulating stocks of high-quality companies with strong assets. They promote their premium newsletter, Daily Gold Premium, which focuses on identifying fundamentally sound junior mining companies with significant upside potential (3x-5x) at current margins. The newsletter prioritizes quality assets and companies that can thrive even without substantial silver price increases.
Conclusion
The market is currently exhibiting bullish momentum, particularly in silver. While a long-term target of $95-$100 is anticipated, the current price is considered extended, suggesting a potential short-term correction. Historical analogs and technical analysis (Fibonacci sequences, chart patterns) support this view. Investors should focus on identifying and accumulating high-quality mining stocks during any potential pullback, preparing for continued gains over the next 12-18 months. The key takeaway is to embrace nuance, recognizing both the potential for continued upside and the likelihood of short-term corrections. The speaker stresses the importance of analyzing probabilities and focusing on long-term trends rather than attempting to predict precise market movements.
