[13:09] It might want to come right back up into resistance. That's around the 25 500 level. And percentage wise, I don't think it's all that much. It's probably one and a half or 2%. Yeah, it's about 2% upside and then we're going to run into resistance from there.

[11:26] when gold comes down into this area, uh, it's going to rally up to 4,800 and then about to 6,500. So, there's quite a bit of potential still to the upside. I don't think it's going to quite get to this level on this run. I think we're going to stall out probably 48, maybe 5,000 maybe.

[9:12] I have about 4,100 as the next upside target for gold. Uh we've had this nice run. You and I actually talked about this level last time we were on. And uh and that's kind of where where gold is headed. I think we're going to see it potentially hit 41. it could actually blow past it.

[0:00] And that's why I think gold is performing so well and why gold I think is close to a 20 to about 40% rally depending on what happens over the next really week or two or really actually just next week.

See quote
[10:36] I I would say this rollover should be should be starting to happen somewhere right up here. I think we could potentially push a little bit higher. I think somewhere between where we are right now and maybe just breaking to new all-time highs nominally for a few days or something. I think I think we're in this this zone for the market to roll over.
Extracted by AI from a YouTube transcript. May be inaccurate or missing context. Verify via source. Send a correction.
The prediction claimed a rollover should start 'somewhere around current levels' with potential to reach new all-time highs for a few days before rolling over; instead, the S&P 500 reached a period low of $5943.23 (0.95% decline) on day 10 before rallying to $6427.02 (7.1% gain) by the target date, showing a continued uptrend rather than the predicted rollover and decline.

[21:27] 135 is the next upside move
