The Cup, the Handle, and Gold’s ‘Final Third’ Phase

Brandon Sauerwein, Editor

The Cup, the Handle, and Gold's 'Final Third' Phase

History may not repeat itself exactly, but it often rhymes — especially in the gold market.

There are some uncanny similarity between today’s gold market and the legendary 1970s bull run. When adjusted for scale, the patterns align almost perfectly, hinting that we could be on the brink of a powerful surge that outpaces anything we’ve seen before.

But there’s a crucial difference this time: gold is rising while currencies are losing value.

Mike and Alan dive deep into what this means for precious metals investors — and why this moment could be historic.

Why This Gold Bull Market Could Outperform the 1970s

Why This Gold Bull Market Could Outperform the 1970s

Alan Hibbard uncovered a striking chart overlaying today’s gold price with the iconic 1970s rally — and the pattern lines up almost perfectly. If history continues to rhyme, we may be on the brink of a historic surge that sends gold soaring to $9,000 per ounce.

What’s different this time? Instead of a crash or bubble burst, we could see a full monetary system reset that keeps gold at unprecedented highs.

The Hidden Truth About U.S. Housing Costs —  
And Why Gold Is Your Best Defense

Mortgage rates are volatile. Home prices sit at historic highs. And inflation devours your savings daily. If homeownership feels impossibly expensive, you’re not alone. But here’s what they’re not telling you:

When measured in gold instead of dollars, monthly mortgage payments have actually decreased over time.

That’s right. While dollar prices explode, the real cost of housing — measured in sound money — has fallen.

Market Pulse: This Week in the News

📊 Metals Price Update 

  • Gold prices are at $3,365/oz — up 28.2% YTD
  • Silver is at $37,86/oz — up 30.9% YTD

If they keep this pace? Their annualized returns would be approximately: 

  • Gold: 51.6%
  • Silver: 57.0% 

🔥 Gold’s Hot Streak Continues
Gold just posted its longest winning streak since February, climbing over 3% in four sessions to around $3,383/oz. The catalyst? Growing fears of a U.S. economic slowdown are driving safe-haven demand, while traders bet on a September rate cut. With services stagnating and labor markets weakening, there’s now a 90% chance the Fed will ease policy — music to gold investors’ ears.

🏦 Fed Stands Pat on Rates (For Now)
At its July meeting, the Fed kept rates steady last week, despite political pressure for cuts. But here’s the interesting part: two Fed members broke ranks and voted to cut — first time we’ve seen that kind of dissent in decades. Translation? Rate cuts are likely coming soon, just not yet.

🧾 Trump’s Accusations Spark Jobs Debate
July’s jobs report was ugly — just 73,000 jobs added versus expectations. Plus, they revised May and June numbers down by 258,000 jobs. That’s not a rounding error, folks. Some are crying foul, but economists say these revisions are normal. Either way, the trend is clear: the job market is cooling fast.

💰 Citi Raises 3-Month Gold Forecast: $3,500
Citi just bumped their gold target to $3,500 (was $3,300). Their reasoning? Take your pick: new tariffs, weak jobs data, inflation fears, or a wobbly dollar. With an increased chance of September rate cuts now priced in, big banks are finally catching up to what gold bugs have known all along.

🔐 Shanghai Can’t Get Enough Gold
Here’s a number that caught our eye: 36 tons of gold just hit Shanghai warehouse records. Chinese traders are playing the arbitrage game between futures and physical, but the real story is simpler — demand is through the roof. When the world’s biggest gold buyer stockpiles at record levels, pay attention.

Central Banks Continue Buying Gold, Led by Uzbekistan and Poland

According to the World Gold Council, central banks added a net 22 tonnes of gold to their reserves in June, with Uzbekistan breaking a four-month selling streak by purchasing 9 tonnes. In Q2, global central bank gold buying totaled 166 tonnes, with Poland leading the way by adding 19 tonnes. However, Q2 purchases were down 33% from Q1 levels, reflecting a slight cooling of demand as gold prices have surged nearly 30% this year. Still, ING analysts expect continued buying ahead, driven by geopolitical uncertainty and the desire to reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar.

Gold Rally Hits Longest Streak Since February

Gold held its longest winning streak since February, climbing over 3% in just four sessions amid mounting concerns about the U.S. economy. Weak data on the services sector, labor market, and consumer spending are reinforcing fears of a slowdown, largely blamed on ongoing tariffs. This has fueled speculation that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates at its September meeting—an outcome traders now see as a 90% probability. Lower rates tend to favor gold, which offers no yield but preserves purchasing power. Gold is up nearly 30% so far this year, as investors seek shelter from trade conflicts, geopolitical tensions,

Samantha is wonderful. I was nervous about spending a chunk of money. I asked her to `hold my hand’ and walk me through making my purchase.  
She laughed and guided me through, step by step. She was so helpful in explaining everything...

Travis was amazing! I was having difficulty with a wire transfer of my life’s savings, and I was very worried that I might not be able to receive it all. My husband just passed away and I’ve been worried about these funds along with grieving for 8 months. As soon as I got connected with Travis, my concerns were immediately addressed and he put me at ease. The issue was resolved within days. He even called me back with updates to keep me in the loop about what was going on with the funds. I am so grateful for a customer representative like Travis. He really cares for his clients.

Sam was also very helpful! I called and was connected to Sam within 30 seconds. She helped me with a fee that was charged to my account. She had a great attitude and took care of the fee quickly.
