Gold Soars to Historic RSI Levels as the World Edges Toward the Brink

April 27, 2025/5 Comments/in Featured Articles/by Rose Pinochet

Gold’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) just hit a monthly high not seen since 1980—a year marked by oil shocks, global unrest, and the Iranian hostage crisis. Today, we find ourselves in eerily similar terrain. As gold rockets upward, investors are no longer betting on rate cuts or inflation hedges. They’re preparing for catastrophe. And the market, which always moves faster than the news cycle, is signaling one thing with conviction: a geopolitical inflection point is imminent.

The surge in gold is not random. It reflects a convergence of structural instability, rising conflict risk, and the growing realization that the post-war global order is beginning to fracture. Tensions between Israel and Iran have moved from rhetorical threats to the threshold of military engagement. This is not a drill. This is not saber-rattling. It’s preparation. Israel is signaling intent. Iran is signaling resolve. The United States stands uncomfortably close, with too many interests on the line to disengage, and too much to lose by becoming deeply involved.

In game theory terms, we are in a pre-crisis coordination phase. Rational actors—governments, central banks, institutional investors—are already repositioning. This is the phase where uncertainty dominates but alignment begins. Gold’s RSI is the visual manifestation of that alignment. When it reached this level in 1980, Americans were lining up for fuel on designated days. Conflict in the Middle East had shut down oil flows. Inflation was rampant, and the dollar’s supremacy looked fragile. Today, the echoes are loud—and the stakes may be even higher.

There is a widespread belief that BRICS nations are quietly preparing to launch a competing financial system—one that may ultimately challenge the dollar’s global dominance. But no such system can come online while its members remain economically unstable or politically cornered. Which is precisely why, from the standpoint of the United States, it must be stopped before it gains momentum. This is no longer about ideology or “democracy”. It’s about hegemony. The global economic framework, which has functioned like a digital operating system for the last two decades, cannot afford a parallel network to go live.

We’re entering an era where financial markets and kinetic warfare are no longer separate domains. Stocks are digital. Bonds are digital. Commodities clear through algorithms. If oil flows are threatened or if a cyberstrike disables a central clearinghouse, the damage would be instantaneous—and not just to portfolios. Sovereign trust itself could collapse.

Gold is not just a safe haven anymore. It is a protest. A shield. A signal. Those who move early understand that we are transitioning from a world of markets into a world of moves. This is no longer about prediction. It’s about preparation.

We are not waiting for a shoe to drop. It already has. The question now is not if conflict will shape the global economy. The question is: how much of it has already been priced in?

    There are so many fake gold certificates and derivatives a run on gold is inevitable.

    Since moving to and àsking for political asylum in Iceland, my material well being has, in almost every respect, improved for the better.
    This despite the fact that I have openly,- in correspondence with all levels of government, NGOs, and the general public,- declared my position on Jews, my scathing contempt of the Jewminion of Chindia; both the government and its citizens in general and the truth about the Holo-chutzpah.
    From the almost complete curing of PTSD, and negative health impact,- that for the most part I never even knew existed,- had on my life to just feeling at ease in my surroundings, Iceland deserves my respect,
    I now have nearly complete trust in the police, judiciary, the government and health care system, with respect to confidentiality and being fully disclosive.
    I now live in an environment of stability and have to a large degree been facilitated with the freedom to do whatever I please.
    To this end I began using my knowledge of world events and applied them to studying and predicting financial markets.
    Based on the above, I believe that the Icelandic Krona, unlike most of the rest of the world, is tied to the Norwegian Krone.
    However, I am by no means an expert, so as I watch most currencies around the world drop in value, the Scandinavian Block currencies are all appreciating in value but remain stable relative to each other.
    Am I correct in this assessment?

    Where are you getting your data?
    The sites I look at show no increase in RSI for gold.

    “The global economic framework, which has functioned like a digital operating system for the last two decades, cannot afford a parallel network to go live.”

    Dear Rose,
    What planet do you live on? There is a parallel network, it’s called Bitcoin.

    I doubt we will get into it with Iran. Because of Palestine the backlash against Israel is growing more and more. The cat is definitely out of the bag.

    Trump is in a tight spot with the Jews. He of course knows what’s going on, hence his Zelensky/Ukraine stance. But the Jews control much of the U.S. and he has to appease them in some way.

    It will be interesting to see what happens. That’s for sure.

    Due to China’s genetic inadequacy, they are removing tariffs on American products that they can’t make themselves:

    Foxbusiness.c*m/politics/china-caves-125-tariff-major-us-export-after-white-house-predicts-beijing-cant-keep-up

    “China waived a 125% tariff on ethane imports from the U.S. on Tuesday”

    “Chinese officials granted exemptions for pharmaceuticals, microchips and aircraft engines and were asking firms to identify critical goods they need levy-free.”

    Everyone should realize that China cannot make small microprocessors and commercial aircraft engines. They need millions of more very high IQ engineers/scientists, but the highest IQ Chinese citizens refuse to reproduce to replace themselves after they die.

    China would immediately collapse if Africa, South America, and South-East Asia stopped exporting copper to China: Gfmreview.c*m/commodities/copper-crunch-china-faces-supply-shock-as-us-tariffs-disrupt-global-metals-trade

    If the Israelites were to collapse any nation that exports copper to China, then China would be finished. Keep in mind that China never uses its military – it’s all just for show. If the Israelites threatened copper exporting nations, like they threatened Panama to get China out, the threatened nations would not receive any military backing from China and would thus immediately capitulate to the Israelites.
