Michael Oliver of Momentum Structural Analysis explained that the sharp rise in gold and silver is driven more by a deepening government debt crisis and long-term monetary degradation than by short-term trade tensions. He emphasized that the U.S. bond market, especially long-term Treasuries, is showing signs of severe weakness and could be on the verge of collapse. This breakdown would likely force the Federal Reserve into more aggressive money printing, further devaluing the dollar. As a result, gold is rising steadily, and silver may soon outperform dramatically, with a potential surge toward $60–$70 per ounce. Oliver also noted that gold and silver miners appear poised to break out, signaling broader momentum behind the precious metals rally.

J. Michael Oliver entered the financial services industry in 1975 on the Futures side, joining E.F. Hutton’s International Commodity Division, headquartered in New York City’s Battery Park. He studied under David Johnston, head of Hutton’s Commodity Division and Chairman of the COMEX. In the 1980s Mike began to develop his own momentum-based method of technical analysis. He learned early on that orthodox price chart technical analysis left many unanswered questions and too often deceived those who trusted in price chart breakouts, support/resistance, and so forth. In 1987 Mike technically anticipated and caught the Crash. It was then that he decided to develop his structural momentum tools into a full analytic methodology. In 1992 the Financial VP and head of Wachovia Bank’s Trust Department asked Mike to provide soft dollar research to Wachovia. Within a year, Mike shifted from brokerage to full-time technical research. His website is Olivermsa.com. He is also the author of The New Libertarianism: Anarcho-Capitalism.
