Gold
COMEX Gold futures are the world's most liquid gold contract. Gold serves as a store of value, inflation hedge, and safe-haven asset during periods of geopolitical uncertainty.
The most striking signal here is the 60-to-90-day window, where midterm election years show an 83.3% win rate with average returns of 4.67% and 8.26% respectively, projecting targets of $5,344 and $4,967 from current levels. The near-term 30-day picture is softer across both datasets, with the 10-year consecutive average showing a negative 0.45% return and only 40% of periods finishing positive.
Gold's midterm year seasonality consistently outperforms its broader 10-year baseline, particularly beyond the one-month mark. The pattern suggests near-term choppiness before a meaningful seasonal tailwind builds. Traders should watch the 60-day inflection closely, as that is historically where midterm-year gold strength accelerates most reliably.

How to Use This Data
Seasonal projection data shows how Gold has historically performed during this specific calendar window across comparable years. The 80.0% consecutive win rate means Gold finished higher in 80 out of every 100 such periods, while the midterm election year win rate of 83.3% reflects performance specifically during years matching the current political cycle.
When both the consecutive and midterm election year bases point in the same direction, the signal carries more weight than either pattern alone. The median return of 4.7% is often more informative than the average in these cases, since it is less distorted by unusually large gains or losses in outlier years.
Seasonal patterns are built entirely from historical price behavior and cannot account for breaking news, central bank policy shifts, geopolitical events, or sudden changes in market sentiment. An 83.3% win rate still means roughly one in six comparable periods produced a decline, and no statistical tendency guarantees an outcome in any single year.
Market participants often use seasonal data as one layer of context alongside fundamental analysis, technical indicators, and macroeconomic conditions. Understanding historical tendencies can help frame expectations and inform how other signals are interpreted, but seasonal data works best as a supporting input rather than a standalone basis for any decision.

Understanding Seasonal Projections
Seasonal projections estimate future price movement based on how Gold has historically performed during the same calendar period. These are statistical baselines derived from decades of market data, not predictions.
Consecutive Years (Last 10)
Uses the most recent 10 years of data regardless of market regime. This captures the broadest recent behavior, including all economic and political environments. Over the next 60 calendar days, this pattern has been positive 8 of 10 times with an average return of +1.6%.
Midterm Election Years (6 Available)
Uses only years that fall in the same position within the 4-year U.S. presidential election cycle. 2026 is a midterm election year. Markets often exhibit distinct patterns tied to fiscal and monetary policy shifts within this cycle. In 6 historical midterm election years, this 60-day window was positive 5 times with an average return of +4.7%.
Seasonal patterns reflect historical tendencies and do not guarantee future results. All projections are based on past performance and should be used as one input among many in your investment decision-making process. Data provided by TradeWave.ai.
