Gold: 360-Day Cycle Targets $4,565 as Bullish Expansion Rises

Gold Futures (/GCZ25) – VC PMI Weekly TRADE ALERT

Gold futures for December 2025 (/GCZ25) closed the week at $3,912.10, gaining $44 (+1.14%), marking a critical breakout continuation within the established 30-day and 360-day harmonic structure. The current advance reinforces the bullish mean reversion sequence that began after testing the lower end of the 360-day channel near $3,361 earlier in 2024.

Technical Overview

• Current Price: $3,912.10
  
  
• High: $3,923.30
  
  
• Low: $3,703.30
  
  
• Volume Profile: Expanding range confirming higher participation
  
  
• MACD (14,3,3): Rising momentum at –33.01, signaling recovery from the deep negative trend

The VC PMI monthly buy zone anchored between $3,812 (Buy 2) and $3,860 (Buy 1) has acted as a magnet and launchpad for the recent upside reversal. Price action has now surpassed the VC PMI monthly average of $3,880, transitioning from neutral to bullish bias on both the 30- and 60-day cycle windows.

360-Day Cycle Projection

• Sell 1 (360-Day): $4,182
  
  
• Sell 2 (360-Day): $4,565

The market is approaching the Sell 1 360-Day resistance zone, with short-term exhaustion likely as we near the $3,970–$4,180 area. A weekly close above $3,880 confirms the probability of continuation toward the 360-day target at $4,182 by late October.

The upper boundary at $4,565 marks the projected 360-day extended resistance, aligning with the Square-of-Nine harmonic spiral dated to peak around the October 26–30 window.

Cycle Analysis (30-60-90-360)

The 30-day and 60-day cycles are synchronized to converge in the second half of October, historically signaling an inflection period. Should prices maintain above $3,860, the probability model projects a move toward $4,180–$4,565 into the 360-day culmination window.

Square-of-Nine Harmonics

On the Square-of-Nine matrix, $3,912 aligns with the 45° harmonic from the March low pivot ($3,361), projecting resonance at $4,180 (180°) and $4,565 (270°). These are high-probability exhaustion levels coinciding with the 360-day cycle’s geometric completion.

Summary Outlook

Gold remains in a confirmed bull phase across all major time frames. The 30-day and 60-day expansion cycles are lifting the market toward the 360-day harmonic resistance at $4,180.

Momentum remains positive, with the VC PMI structure validating long entries on reversion toward $3,812–$3,860 and profit targets between $4,180–$4,565.

Failure to hold above $3,812 would neutralize momentum and invite mean reversion toward $3,660–$3,560.
