2026 Precious Metals ETF Playbook: GDX SIL PPLT Parabolic Rally🚀 2026 Precious Metals Playbook: Why GDX, SIL & PPLT Could Go Parabolic ________________________________________ 🏁 Gold’s 2025 melt-up has flipped the script: spot blew through records and major banks now float targets near $3,800 by late-2025 and ~$3,900 by mid-2026. With expected Fed cuts, a softer USD, and persistent central-bank buying, the macro setup could keep miners turbocharged into 2026. 🧲 At the same time, robust demand (ETF inflows + central banks) even with real yields elevated shows that “fear and fiscal” have joined real rates as primary drivers. That’s the kind of buyer base that can underpin a blow-off leg higher in gold. 🔥 The gamma-squeeze setup is real in commodities too: heavy call buying can force dealers to chase deltas in futures, adding fuel to upside. If momentum reignites, gold’s second leg could shock even the bulls. ⚡️Silver is riding a different (but rhyming) story: persistent structural deficits and 14-year-high prices, with industry demand led by solar PV, electronics, EVs—and increasingly high-end compute/AI infrastructure where silver-bearing solders, contacts, and power electronics are critical. ☀️Macro tailwinds for silver’s industrial side look alive into 2026: PV installations, grid storage rollouts, and electrification keep factory demand stout—even with ongoing thrifting. Sheer volume growth can still outmuscle intensity declines. 🛠️Platinum’s bull case hinges on multi-year market deficits, entrenched autocatalyst substitution from palladium, and optionality from the early hydrogen economy. Supply hiccups in South Africa, paired with steady auto/industrial draws, can squeeze inventories quickly. ________________________________________ 🎯 Aggressive 2026 Scenarios & Targets 🧭 Premise: a “second-leg” melt-up where gold futures extend from ~$3,500 toward ~$7,000 (+100%) via treasury-to-hard-assets rotation and options-driven squeezes; silver plays catch-up with an industrial/safe-haven crescendo; platinum rides persistent deficits and auto/hydrogen demand. GDX — VanEck Gold Miners ETF Aggressive 2026 price target: $150–$220 (vs. ~$70 now). Why it could happen: • 💹 Margin math: with AISCs roughly anchored, every +$1000/oz in gold drops largely to miner margins, historically producing 2–3× sensitivity in equities vs. the metal. • 🔁 Flow catalysts: ETF inflows, central-bank buying, CTA trend signals, and options gamma dynamics can stack. • 🏦 Treasury rotation: if real yields slide and fiscal angst lingers, the allocation shift into gold miners can snowball. SIL — Global X Silver Miners ETF Aggressive 2026 price target: $95–$130 (vs. ~$66 now). Why it could happen: • 🏭 Industrial drumbeat: PV growth into 2026 + electrification keeps factory demand strong—even with thrifting. • 🧮 Deficit persistence: multiple years of market deficits tighten balances and prime upside tails. • 🧠 AI halo effect: data-center buildouts and advanced packaging sustain electronics demand where silver’s conductivity wins, adding narrative firepower to price action. PPLT — abrdn Physical Platinum Shares Aggressive 2026 price target: $250–$375 (vs. ~$128 now). Why it could happen: • ⛏️Deficits, again: without a step-change in mine supply, persistent market shortfalls can spark violent repricing. • 🚗 Sticky substitution: platinum that replaced palladium in gasoline autocats is embedded in designs—demand that doesn’t easily reverse. • 🔋 Optionality: PEM electrolyzers/fuel cells (hydrogen) magnify the upside if policy or energy security tightens timelines. ________________________________________ 🧭 2026 Primary Drivers to Track 🏛️Monetary & macro: Fed path, USD, and real yields remain core—if they trend down, gold’s opportunity cost falls and risk-hedging bids rise. 🏦 Official sector: Central-bank purchases have become a structural pillar—watch for continuity (or pauses) in monthly updates. 📈 Flows & positioning: ETF creations, futures options open interest, and CTA signals can amplify moves far beyond fundamentals (gamma-squeeze dynamics). Industrial pulse (silver): PV installations, EV production, grid/storage rollouts, and semiconductor packaging demand. Even with thrifting, sheer volume growth can drive sustained demand. 🔌 ________________________________________ 🔍 Other High-Octane Catalysts To Watch 🧩 Policy whiplash: tariffs, clean-energy incentives, and regional manufacturing policies can shift where PV growth lands, but global additions remain robust into 2026. 🌍 Geopolitical risk: commodity sanctions, shipping disruptions, and elections tend to feed gold’s safe-haven bid and can intermittently kink PGM supply chains. ⚙️South Africa power stability: any setbacks could crimp platinum supply; under-investment keeps the system fragile even with recent improvements. ________________________________________ 🧱 Positioning Blueprint (conceptual, not advice) 🧮 In a $7k gold blue-sky, miners should outrun the metal (margin + duration), silver miners should over-beta gold if the PV/AI/EV demand boom continues, and platinum offers clean metal-beta through PPLT. Platinum miners could add torque but also carry South Africa–specific risks. ⚠️Risks: inflation re-acceleration forcing hikes, a USD surge, ETF liquidation waves, PV-demand disappointments, or supply snap-backs could maul these targets; miners also carry idiosyncratic risks (cost inflation, permitting, geopolitics). ________________________________________ 🎯 Targets (2026 “go-for-it” bull case) • 🎢 GDX: $150–$220 on 2–3× torque to a gold melt-up, plus multiple expansion. • 🧪 SIL: $95–$130 if silver sprints on deficits + PV/AI/EV demand, with miners over-beta. • 🧰 PPLT: $250–$375 with sustained platinum deficits and sticky auto substitution.

Seasonal Long in PlatinumHey guys, there is an annual seasonal setup in Platinum which begins during the middle of December and extends until February/Early-March timeframe. The meat of the move seems to occur from end-December until mid/end-January though. While last years movement was fairly muted due to the weak capital markets, I am aiming for a $150/oz upside move this year. TP range is $1100-$1125 area. I scale into small longs vs. taking a single large position as the ranges in Platinum, can be quite large. You can also refer to this link for more info on the seasonal setup as well: auctusmetals.com

710 possible for a week or two. 850 is the range likely for a few weeks with a pulse to 800 range. Then the price could fall to a cost of production for a few months...maybe even a pulse below that for a few weeks. Might even stay there long enough to get some physical at decade lows. Then again who wants dollars? I guess 2.8% interest for a 10y bond with prospects for 7% inflation looks good to some people. Maples, eagles or plate? what will there be? trading PPLT as a hedge to lock in a price.

$PLATINUM holding key 200wma200 week moving average is providing quite some level of support on platinum. Feels like the metal is building steam for another move higher? While price continuously traded below the declining 200wma in years before, for the first time in years we are seeing price hold up above this important average, while also seeing the 200wma pointing north which is encouraging. The RSI has also made higher lows since bottoming out during the Covid crash and showing us signs that the momentum is still holding up

Platinum Fell From Price Channel After a tightening price range in the uptrend channel, platinum prices have fallen below the price channel flipping the trendline from support to resistance. Next line of support is around 1100. If inflation fears ease, or if stocks take off and crypto continues it's selloff, more money will flow into those markets and I think there may be further downward pressure in platinum. That's my very uneducated opinion. Not financial advice. Be safe and happy trading!

Palladium Update: Possible upswing soon. On the previous post on 8/4/20 I also suggested an upswing soon as the ".4" point was approaching.(see link below). But after the rise there has been a stall which may be soon over. So watch for signs of reversal. If this count is correct the next upswing could be a hefty one. I don't trade futures. Other possibilities to trade this include PPLT, and mining stock IMPUY Zacks Impala Platinum Holdings Limited is in the business of mining, refining and the marketing of platinum group metals, especially platinum, as well as nickel, copper and cobalt. Implats is also involved in the secondary sourcing of material through Impala Refining Services which enables it to capitalise on the group's competitive advantages in processing and refining. The group's operations on the Bushveld Complex in South Africa (Impala Platinum, Marula Platinum, the Leeuwkop project and Two Rivers) and the Great Dyke in Zimbabwe (Zimplats and Mimosa) give it a significant base of attributable reserve and resource ounces of platinum. Implats also has investments in Aquarius Platinum Limited and its subsidiary Aquarius Platinum (South Africa) Limited which have PGM operations in southern Africa. There are also offshore exploration projects in Botswana, Mozambique, Madagascar and Canada.

Platinum Top on the Way..Commercial producers in Platinum have been heavy sellers in the NYMEX contract lately. This action typically bodes poorly for Platinum prices shortly thereafter. Once the commercials get down to -50k contracts, this can be a good signal to short. Using this weeks "Eskom Power Shortage" news to open a new short position on the NYMEX PL contract. In times passed, any news relating to a South African miner's strike or a Eskom Power issue typically results in a 2-3 day price jump which is short lived as the producers come in to sell it back down. Will add additional contracts every $10 higher. Profit target is when the commercials have covered contracts (or have delivered metal) back into the -20k range which likely means the $780 to $800 range.

Long-term Platinum AnalysisThe chart shows that the price of platinum is at a very low level, according to the COT report analysis, it shows that compared to the previous publication, the number of open sales positions increased, but it is much smaller activity of sellers than in previous reports. This may mean that the downward trend is coming to an end. An additional factor to buy can be the fact that the price is at an important level of support. This in combination with COT reports is a good basis to buy. Warning This is a long-term forecast, it does not mean that the increase will take place immediately. In the case of long-term investment, I encourage you to use ETFs, for example PPLT.US (ETFS Physical Platinum Shares)

New Bull Starting in Platinum?A few interesting points about XPTUSD and why it might be time to look at long positions: 1. 7-Year cycle in XPTUSD is bottoming out right now. 2. We are seeing a backtest of the initial breakout similar to what happened in 2000-2001 3. XPTUSD production is going to see major cutbacks moving forward from South Africa 4. Above ground stocks are winding down which has put extreme pressure on prices for the last 4 years 5. Should the DYX fail to breakout decisively over 102 before the end of 2016, then the ZARUSD could strengthen.
