Buying Opportunities in Gold
To enter precious metals pullbacks effectively, we need to wait for signs of exhaustion in selling pressure, confirm support levels, and align with broader uptrend signals. Oversold conditions in gold and silver often present buying opportunities. Pullbacks within a confirmed uptrend (higher highs and higher lows) are typically safer to enter than those in a downtrend. As we can see from the chart of $NEM aka Newmont Corporation, one proxy for large gold miners given its large weighting in $GDX, we can see that the first support was found upon its retest of the 20 week moving average. We will see if a sustained support at 75 will be found but this is looking like a healthy buying opportunity.
Buying Opportunities in Silver
Price action near key support levels such as the 10+ area for $AG or First Majestic Silver bounced after the RSI became oversold and touched the 20 week moving averages. We believe a sustained uptrend for silver with bullish harami candlesticks showing near the support zones. A typically safer entry is to enter in tranches as the support builds over time and add confirmation when prices confirm reversal with higher lows and MACD crossovers to the upside.
Buying Opportunity in Copper
One of the strongest commodities in 2025 has been copper and the clear trend beneficiary is $SCCO or Southern Copper Corporation. This continues to consolidate near its highs with a likelihood of just a shallow retracement between 125-130 before resuming its upward trend towards new highs. Consider these metals as a rotation away from the dollar and a beneficiary of diversification away from megacaps and technology plays that dominate elevated valuation headlines.
