Considering its traditional position as a ‘safe haven’ asset and hedge against various risks, Gold performed somewhat surprisingly during March as the commodity declined more than 13% as the Iran war started and expanded.

Despite the downturn and the last, April 1 and 2 drop driven by President Donald Trump’s latest televised address, top U.S. economist Peter Schiff opined in a late Wednesday X post that the yellow metal is about to reverse.

Specifically, the expert stated that gold ‘will break this trend and rally in tandem with oil’ in reference to both the commodity’s decline and the fossil fuel upsurge.

Notably, West Texas and Brent crude, as well as energy companies, have been major winners of the ongoing conflict in terms of barrel and stock prices. WTI, for example, is up roughly 41% in the 30-day chart while Brent rose approximately 38%. 

Similarly, the overall S&P 500 stock market index is down 4.45% in the same timeframe, while the section tracking energy equities is up 4%.

Gold next rally could last through 2026 if Schiff is proven correct

Should Peter Schiff’s prediction prove correct, gold might soon enter a rally that could see it fly higher for a protracted period. While news coming from the Trump Administration has been contradictory at best – by  April 1, the President’s rhetoric appeared deescalatory leading to a significant rally for non-energy sectors – the latest address indicates warfare will only intensify.

Given that the Pentagon’s actions by press time on April 2 signal an inability to open the Strait of Hormuz and the commander-in-chief’s statements hint at an unwillingness to tackle the disruption in the critical waterway, it is possible that the supply chain issues will persist through 2026.

Additionally, considering that Iran has been repeatedly claiming that it is not looking for a ceasefire and that any peace agreement would have to include Lebanon, and that Israel is allegedly looking to exclude its northern neighbour from negotiations, there appears to be no off-ramp for the time being.

Circling back to Peter Schiff, his X post predicting a gold rally also appears to forecast a protracted war and continued decline across most sectors and assets. 

Per the economist’s comments, the conflict is in a re-escalation phase despite the allegation that the U.S. ‘already achieved the most glorious and brilliant victory in the history of war’ – a jab at the numerous victory declarations published by President Trump since early March.

Why Gold might not reverse the recent downtrend

Elsewhere, it is noteworthy that Schiff’s prediction regarding gold breaking the downtrend is far from guaranteed to come true. The economist is a known ‘gold bug’ and has been bullish on the commodity under most circumstances.

While he has, so far, proven correct barring the latest downturn, and the yellow metal has been a top-performing asset through much of the XXI century and especially in the last five years, precisely this rally might have damaged its ‘safe haven’ status and turned it more risk-sensitive.

Another theory as to why gold is unlikely to reverse was shared by a different Wall Street expert: the prominent Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) bear, Gordon Johnson of GLJ Research.

According to the analyst, the yellow metal’s choppy performance is due to the widespread decline triggered by the Iran war. Late on April 1, Johnson published a simple X post describing the relationship:

Should the GLJ Research analyst prove correct, gold will not manage a trend reversal until either the ongoing correction turns significantly more severe, or there is a widespread market recovery halting the margin calls.

$5 billion floods into XRP in a day; Here’s why

$5 billion floods into XRP in a day; Here’s why

The post $5 billion floods into XRP in a day; Here’s why appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. XRP extended its rally on September 18, adding more than $5 billion in market value in under 24 hours. The token climbed from $3 to $3.10, pushing its market cap from $180.47 billion to $185.79 billion at the time of publication. Trading activity also surged, with 24-hour volume up 57% to $7.21 billion, as per data retrieved by Finbold from CoinMarketCap. The move coincides with confirmation that the REX-Osprey XRP ETF ($XRPR) will debut today after earlier delays. Unlike traditional spot ETFs, $XRPR will operate under a Registered Investment Company (RIC) structure, holding XRP alongside cash and Treasuries. Analysts say the product offers three key signals: it provides regulated exposure for U.S. investors without requiring direct XRP custody, it highlights growing institutional acceptance despite SEC hesitation on other ETF applications, and it is already sparking ETF-driven trading activity in spot markets. Sustaining daily volumes of over $200 million will be a key test in the weeks ahead. XRP technical analysis From a technical perspective, XRP has broken above its 7-day SMA ($3.06) and the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement ($3.07). The MACD histogram flipped positive (+0.0223), while the RSI (57.09) suggests room to extend without tipping into overbought conditions. Immediate resistance sits at $3.18, with a clean break opening the door to the $3.48 target at the 127.2% Fibonacci extension. XRP’s latest move combines ETF-driven institutional interest, technical resilience, and altcoin market tailwinds. While the ETF structure may not drive direct XRP demand as aggressively as a spot product, its novelty could attract new pools of capital and further legitimize the asset in U.S. markets.
