The markets have been on a wild ride since the presidential election, and we're taking a moment to check in on how our predictions have played out over the past six months. Remember when we projected gold would see an immediate dip after the election before continuing its climb toward $3,200? Well, that initial prediction was spot on – gold dropped about $200 per ounce that first week – but then it dramatically outperformed expectations, recently flirting with $3,500 before settling around $3,392. The precious metal has established a strong floor between $2,900 and $3,200, suggesting substantial staying power despite potential volatility ahead.
Our Bitcoin forecast proved remarkably accurate. From its election night price of $76,000, Bitcoin surged past $100,000 by early December – exactly as predicted – before experiencing the volatility we warned about, dropping to $77,000 in early April. Now trading around $96,600, Bitcoin has delivered an impressive 29% return over six months. For those with the stomach to ride the cryptocurrency roller coaster, we expect Bitcoin to finish 2025 above $90,000, potentially touching $120,000-$125,000 during the year. Meanwhile, the Dow Industrial Average has essentially treaded water, currently at 41,142 compared to 41,800 on election night, after following the typical post-election pattern of an initial surge followed by a new-year dip.
The real opportunity lies in recognizing that market chaos creates openings for strategic investors. When buyers and sellers are fearful but you maintain a fundamental calmness based on tested strategies, you can capitalize while others hesitate. This is especially true in real estate, where focusing on cash flow rather than property valuations provides protection against market swings. Remember that markets always recover – just as they did after 2008 when experts claimed the Dow would never break 10,000 again.
