Gold Bull Market 2025: Why History Points to Huge Upside

Gold is making headlines again. Prices have surged to all-time highs, yet if history is any guide, this bull market may be far from over. In fact, comparing today’s gold rally to the explosive run of the 1970s suggests we could still be in the early innings of a powerful move. 

Mike Maloney and Alan Hibbard recently broke this down on The GoldSilver Show, where they distilled the 400-page “In Gold We Trust” report by Incrementum into the must-see charts every investor should know. Their conclusion? Gold could still have much further to run — possibly to levels that seem unthinkable today. 

Let’s explore the key takeaways. 

Fewer All-Time Highs Than the 1970s: Bull Market Still Young 

One chart in the In Gold We Trust report tracks the number of all-time highs in each gold bull market since 1970. In the 1970s, gold recorded 209 all-time highs. By comparison, the current bull market has just 76 so far

That suggests gold’s bull market has only just begun. As Maloney notes, the global economy is far weaker today than in the 1970s, and very few investors actually own gold. Fear-driven monetary demand hasn’t even kicked in yet. When it does, the upside could be dramatic. 

“At the end of the 1970s bull market, gold doubled in just 42 days. That vertical move hasn’t happened yet today, but history suggests it likely will.” – Alan Hibbard 

Gold Moves Differently Than Stocks 

Investors often make the mistake of applying stock market dynamics to gold. Equities tend to peak early, with smaller and smaller gains until they level off. 

Gold is the opposite. Precious metals usually start with small, gradual moves, then medium-sized ones, and finally finish in an explosive crescendo. That final stage is where fortunes are made — and it hasn’t happened yet in the 2020s bull market. 

Divergence: ETFs Stalled, But Asia and Central Banks Are Driving Demand 

One of the most striking dynamics today is the divergence between Western ETF flows and Eastern + central bank demand

  • Gold ETFs in the West have plateaued or declined in recent years. 
  • Yet Asian buyers (China & India), along with record-setting central bank purchases, have continued absorbing supply. 

This demand is creating a firm floor under gold prices. Central banks, especially after the global financial crisis and COVID, have been net buyers since 2015 — a massive structural shift in the gold market. 

Potential for a New Monetary System 

Perhaps the most compelling development is the renewed talk of a global monetary reset. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant has even suggested that a “new Bretton Woods” could be on the horizon — one that may involve gold. 

If gold were revalued to back just U.S. currency in circulation, it could imply a price of ~$10,000 per ounce. More extreme scenarios — covering broader money supply measures — point to even higher levels. 

“If they move to a gold-backed system, it can’t happen at today’s prices. It has to be far higher—possibly $10,000 an ounce or more.” – Mike Maloney

Lessons From the 1970s Bull Run 

The parallels with the 1970s are striking: 

  • Early disbelief: Economists then thought gold couldn’t rise after it was demonetized — just as skeptics today dismiss $10,000 gold. 
  • Fear vs. Greed: In the ’70s, gold’s final surge was driven by panic buying, not gradual accumulation. 
  • Explosive finale: Gold doubled in price in just 42 days at the end of that bull run. 

If history rhymes, today’s bull market could be headed for a similar vertical move. 

What This Means for Investors 

With inflation, debt, and geopolitical tensions mounting, the case for gold has never been stronger. Yet many retail investors remain on the sidelines — while central banks and Eastern buyers quietly accumulate. 

As Maloney puts it: 

“It’s better to be a year early than a minute too late.” 

If a monetary reset or crisis triggers a revaluation, the price of gold could move sharply higher, leaving unprepared investors behind. 

Final Thoughts 

Gold is more than just a commodity — it’s a monetary asset, a safe haven, and possibly the cornerstone of the next financial system. 

  • The current bull market still has far fewer all-time highs than the 1970s, suggesting much more room to run. 
  • Unlike stocks, gold usually ends bull runs in a parabolic spike — a move we haven’t seen yet. 
  • Central banks and Asia are driving demand, even as Western ETFs stagnate. 
  • A new gold-linked monetary system could propel prices toward $10,000/oz

History suggests we may be standing on the edge of something extraordinary. The only question is: Will you be prepared when gold makes its final explosive move?

Why Silver’s Surge Could Ignite Mining Stocks Next

Silver vs. Miners: A Strange Divergence  Silver today looks extremely undervalued — both against inflation and compared to gold. Yet mining stocks, which typically amplify moves in metals, have lagged badly since the mid-2000s. The HUI index (a benchmark for mining companies) has been in a long decline relative to gold, though Lundin believes it may now be breaking that downtrend.  If miners start to “catch up” to silver’s rally, the leverage could be enormous. History shows that when this gap closes, the moves can be fast and violent — rewarding those positioned early.  Two Core Reasons to Own Gold

Gold Isn’t Scarce — So Why Is It So Valuable?

For decades, sound money advocates have leaned on a simple, tidy idea: gold is valuable because it’s scarce.  But what if that argument misses the point entirely?  In his latest video, Alan Hibbard takes aim at the “scarcity” narrative and replaces it with a more precise—and more powerful—mental model: arduousness. It’s not just about how rare something is. It’s about how hard it is to inflate its supply.  If you’ve ever used scarcity to defend gold… you might want to rethink that.  Scarcity vs. Value: Not the Same Thing  Let’s start with a quick thought experiment: if gold is valuable

Failure to Deliver: The Setup for $100 Silver

Silver’s bull market is no longer just a rally — it’s a structural shift. For the first time in history, silver has held above $40 for more than 20 straight trading days, a streak that eclipses both the 1980 hyperbubble and the 2011 run.  But as Mike Maloney warns in his latest update, the real story isn’t just the strength of this rally — it’s the fragility of supply. A single “failure to deliver” could cause silver to gap higher, skipping entire price levels overnight.  Let’s break down the key insights from Mike’s analysis.  The $100 Overnight Risk  “If there’s

Why Silver Is Undervalued: The Case for a 20:1 Gold–Silver Ratio

If you’ve been wondering whether silver is still “cheap” after its latest rally, Mike Maloney’s framework makes the case loud and clear: relative to gold, silver remains one of the most undervalued major assets on the planet. The lens that reveals this is the gold–silver ratio (GSR)—how many ounces of silver it takes to buy one ounce of gold. Understand this ratio, and you’ll see why Mike expects powerful moves ahead, plus how disciplined investors can turn that volatility into more gold over time.  The Core Imbalance: What We Dig Up vs. What Markets Price In  Start with supply.

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.
