Francis Hunt: Why Silver Just Broke Out, The End of Cycle & Western Collapse

Palisades Gold Radio Sep 10, 2026 58:15

Summary

Hunt calls a major reset underway and urges aggressive gold and silver accumulation as US fiscal credibility erodes.

He frames silver as showing relative strength over gold after breaking out of a falling wedge continuation pattern on the daily chart.

Hunt expects both metals higher into year-end, capping silver below $1,200/oz and gold near $5,600/oz.

He sees a multi-year dollar debasement trade with a major Western financial crisis likely within three years.

Hunt recommends geographic relocation away from Europe and North America, favoring the Southern Hemisphere for safety.

Stijn Schmitz's takeaways

  • Top takeaway Hosts the interview by asking Hunt what is on his radar now and frames the prior months as a 'glorious pullback' in the South Korean KOSPI that Hunt had earlier called to roll over
  • Presses Hunt on the timeline and global scope of the financial crisis, and asks whether US gold re-monetization at ~$4,400/oz could plug the fiscal shortfall, which Hunt dismisses as 'not enough'

Francis Hunt's takeaways

  • Top takeaway The guest argues Western/American empire is in collapse, with US debt past $40 trillion and a 'loss of faith' in treasuries that he expects to trigger capital controls and a major dollar debasement within roughly three years
  • Hunt maintains long-standing technical targets of $330 silver next, then four-digit silver, and gold 'in the double thousands,' framing the February-to-August pullback as a falling-wedge correction inside a macro Hunt Volatility Funnel bull setup
  • The guest says silver has just broken out of a falling wedge on the hourly and daily charts and expects the metal to drift toward the higher end of its range by Christmas Day 2026, though staying below the ~$121 zone shown on his chart
  • He frames gold as the 'king' of anti-fiat, silver as the 'jack,' and miners behind them, and says precious-metals equities should 'do exceedingly well' and potentially outperform the metals themselves in the next leg
  • Hunt cites sovereign demand as evidence of the rotation: South Korea buying gold for the first time in 13 years while dumping treasuries, Norway's wealth fund cutting US holdings, and USDT issuers now adding gold and silver alongside treasuries
