Roy-Byrne tells viewers there is nothing to worry about in gold and silver beyond the next month or two, arguing the sector remains in a secular bull market with far higher prices ahead over the next 5 to 10 years. He sees gold trying to bottom around $4,000 with a downside scenario of roughly $3,620–$3,720 — the 50% retracement of the move and the same 45% giveback gold suffered in 2008 — while acknowledging near-term fundamentals are not yet bullish because real yields are rising and the yield curve is flattening. His core thesis is that the coming secular peak in stocks and the crash of the AI bubble will drive massive capital rotation out of tech and into gold, which he argues needs only 19% monetary base backing today versus over 40% in 1974, implying a theoretical price near $21,000 an ounce.
Gold’s bottoming zone and the 2008 analog: Gold closed below $4,000 only once recently and is holding above it weekly, with strong support at 3,600–3,700 and a measured downside target near 3,700. He notes gold gained 315% from 2001 to 2008 and 388% from 2018 to 2026, and a matching 45% retracement of the current gain would put gold at about $3,620, with an intraday low near $3,750–$3,770.
Silver weakness and the gold/silver ratio breakout: Silver made a lower low while gold made a higher low, which he says is typical of corrections in weak precious metals markets. The gold/silver ratio has broken out of a five-to-six-month base going back to February, closing just below 72 and potentially heading to 80 or higher, making it hard to get bullish too soon.
Sentiment at multi-year extremes: Sentiment Trader’s GLD optix 50-day moving average is at a level seen only eight times in 20 years, aligning with the 2008, 2015-16, 2016, 2018, and 2022 bottoms. The Bank of America fund manager survey has swung from a net 40% calling gold overvalued to a net 5% calling it undervalued — the lowest in three and a half years and similar to readings just before the 2008 bottom.
What actually turns fundamentals bullish: Rising real 10-year yields and a flattening 10s-2s spread are currently negative for gold. He argues the bullish trigger is either the 10-year rising faster than the 2-year, or the 2-year yield peaking and falling faster as the market sniffs out rate cuts, and he expects fundamentals to turn less bearish later this year and into next.
Gold stocks washed out: Only 2% of GDX components closed above their 200-day moving average, with the 20-day smoothed reading at 14%, matching 2002, 2004, the GFC, 2012, 2018, and 2021 bottoms. He cites Rick Rule on quality companies being down 30–50%, and says he buys quality people, projects, and assets with the upside to turn two- and three-baggers into five-to-ten-baggers when the bull market resumes.
Maund argues the GDX correction from the late-January highs is essentially over, describing it as a textbook Elliott Wave five-up followed by a three-wave ABC decline that has brought price back to wave-four support inside a bullish falling wedge. He has dropped his earlier fear of collateral damage from a broad market selloff because he contends BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard own 70% of the stock market and will simply have the Federal Reserve print money to prop it up, with the little guy paying through inflation. He recommends scaling in now rather than waiting for the wedge breakout, and says the next major up-leg could be a big one starting within the next few weeks.
The “bigs” backstop removes the downside risk: Maund credits Gerald Celente’s term for the three giant asset managers, claiming their 70% ownership means they will not allow a market drop and can get their friends at the Fed to keep printing. He calls it a great system for the bigs and a wealth transfer from ordinary people via inflation and reduced living standards.
Elliott Wave structure on the 19-month chart: He reads the 2025 advance into the late-January high as a five-wave impulse followed by a sharp A-wave, a counter-trend B-wave rally, and a slower, more ponderous C-wave decline over recent months. The correction looks proportionate to the advance and has returned GDX to the wave-four low as support.
Bullish falling wedge and positive divergence: The downtrend from January is a converging wedge that implies an upside break, and the C-wave low was not confirmed by MACD, which stayed above its March low. He treats that positive divergence as evidence downside momentum is fizzling out ahead of the next major up-leg.
Tactical entry advice: He advises scaling in at current levels with stops below support, though he doubts holders would be stopped out, and adding aggressively on a wedge breakout confirmed by a substantial increase in upside volume in GDX and in large- and mid-cap gold and silver stocks. He also cites favorable seasonality as the sector enters a positive time of year.
Bullish percent index at capitulation levels: The gold miners bullish percent index read 100% in late January — meaning nobody left to buy — and plunged to 4% in March, which preceded the bounce he called. GDX and the XAU now sit below their March lows despite that 4% reading, which he treats as confirmation of a bottom, with the same falling wedge visible in XAU and HUI.
Joy argues the West is at the end stage of empire, with a transnational class of billionaires she calls narcissistic sociopaths battling over who controls a 21st century defined by total surveillance, digital ID, and the elimination of democracy, elections, constitutions, and bodily autonomy. She frames COVID as an internationally coordinated Department of Defense military operation in which Fauci, Trump, Biden, and Bobby Kennedy Jr. were all figureheads, claims the injections killed hundreds of millions, and says the roughly 25% of Americans who refused constitutes a control group the planners never anticipated. She contends the US has been under a coup d’état since the 1963 JFK assassination, is now governed by an “Epsteinocracy” criminal cartel she links to the Tate brothers, and advises boycotting federal elections, refusing compliance, getting out of debt, holding physical cash, gold, and silver, and getting right with God ahead of an imminent financial crisis.
The end-stage empire thesis: Joy maps the Tytler cycle and Old Testament pattern onto the present, arguing empires grow through freedom, free markets, and virtue, then rot through affluence, sin, and apathy until corruption becomes ubiquitous across healthcare, legal, education, political, and military institutions. She says COVID was when the mask came down and everyone saw what elite control actually looks like.
COVID as a military operation: She credits Sasha Latypova’s work on COVID as a DoD operation and Debbie Lerman’s on coordinated Western military governments, calling it an international operation deployed from the United States, and claims the real payload was not the virus but getting populations to inject themselves. She says COVID vaccine uptake cannot break double digits, leaving hundreds of millions of unused vials, and describes ongoing injuries in the host’s own extended family in Mexico — five heart attacks and two deaths among vaccinated relatives.
Digital ID and refusal as the resistance strategy: Joy points to Mexico’s third attempt in 15 years at phone registration being pushed back three months after mass non-compliance, plus Real ID, EU digital wallets, Palantir integration into Norwegian customs and two UN agencies, and Flock camera pushback. She argues resistance requires only 10–25% refusal, citing COVID vaccine rejection as the template.
Regional unions as the world government blueprint: The host presents Javad Zarif’s Foreign Affairs piece “Iranian Vision of the New Middle East” alongside a 2014 CFR article proposing the EU as a model for Middle East unification, and Joy agrees the plan is supranational regions sitting above gutted national governments. Her stated endgame under that model: no democracy, no elections, no constitution, no bill of rights, no consent of the governed, and recourse limited to an AI chatbot.
The Epsteinocracy and independent media infiltration: Joy calls the Epstein network a criminal cartel she believes is also behind Andrew and Tristan Tate, citing Richard Grenell’s Munich trip to pressure Romania as evidence, and says Trump and Congress are not in charge. On media, she discloses her funding sources — listener donations, Rumble ad revenue, Substack, and advertisers including Peter Schiff and the Wellness Company — as her method for letting the audience judge her angles, and names Robert Malone and JJ Couey as figures she no longer treats as trusted sources.
