In this 10 Market Predictions for 2025 article, we focus on 10 markets that we predict will develop a bullish trend in 2025. We cover shares, of course precious metals and a few selected commodities.
In addition, we indicate that the most intense periods of 2025 will be the following:
- February to mid-March 2025.
- Mid-March to early May 2025.
- Mid-May to mid-June 2025.
We expect strong movements to emerge during these three to six week periods.
Remark – We exclude crypto from this article. While cryptocurrency is very bullish, it is a separate asset class and not within the scope of this article.
1. Epic sector rotation will dominate 2025
Sector rotation has been the dominant trend in the markets since the turning point on October 13, 2022.
Trends have developed in specific sectors, which are usually short-lived and continue after a few months.
This dominant market trend is expected to continue to dominate markets through 2025.
- Intermarket analysis and sector assessments will continue to be a success factor in 2025.
- It may not feel like a bull market in 2025 – but if you look at the data, it will be a bull market.
Investment strategies should take sector rotation into account.

The Dow Jones It is predicted to be directionally bullish.
Our 2025 Dow Jones forecast is a trading range between 38,000 and 44,000.
Large caps will benefit from rising future profits. Moreover, a gradual decline in inflation combined with current interest rates favors large caps.
3. S&P 500 forecast: higher in 2025
Source: S&P 500 forecast for 2025.
The long- and intermediate-term chart structures of the S&P 500 show a dominant bullish pattern.
Furthermore, future earnings, combined with economic data and consumer spending, support a bullish outlook for the S&P 500.
This justifies a bullish S&P 500 forecast for 2025. Therefore, we think the S&P 500 will move between 5,350 and 6,350 points in 2025.
While the S&P500 should do well, juicy opportunities should be presented in the midcap sector, which is expected to benefit from the improvement in market breadth!
4. Nasdaq continues its bull run into 2025

The Nasdaq is predicted to move towards the 22,220 area in 2025, based on its 20-year chart pattern.

The Nikkei 225 is expected to be very volatile, especially in the second half of 2025. This is one of the more unusual predictions of our ten market predictions for 2025.
The 50-year historical Nikkei 225 chart shows a massive secular pattern, while the 25-year chart highlights a decision point in time.
The decision window of the 50-year Nikkei 225 chart is coming to an end in the first months of 2026. This means that 2025 will be a year where the market will look for a solution to this gigantic pattern.
Our Nikkei 225 forecast is based on the idea that chart dynamics will dominate in 2025.
6. Gold is expected to surpass $3,000 by 2025

Gold is predicted to move closer to, or even temporarily exceed, USD 3,000 per Ounce.
The price of gold could approach $3,000 by 2025 and exceed $3,000 by 2026. Ultimately, gold could approach $5,000 by 2030.
The gold forecast suggests that the dominant dynamics in the gold market will consist of monetary easing, a weak USD and the secular gold chart dynamics. As a result, the gold price is expected to rise further in 2025.
Interestingly, we predict that tokenized gold will do well in 2025.
Tokenization should become a major trend in 2025. If this becomes a reality, it means that tokenized gold, tokenized silver, and tokenized real estate could become a booming business. That’s the basis for a crypto story in 2025, as explained in this article: Which cryptocurrencies will explode in 2025?
7. Silver predicted that the former ATH would test in 2025

2025 will likely be the year silver approaches its former ATH.
We’ve explained the drivers for this bullish thesis here: 5 Reasons to Believe Silver is the Opportunity of the Decade. Additionally, in the shorter term, we highlighted silver’s massive upside potential, supported by leading indicator analysis.
Silver can and will reach $50 per Ounce, the only question is WHEN. On September 18, 2024, silver confirmed its short-term breakout, implying that silver is headed to $50, likely in early to mid-2025.
The price of silver is currently working its way up, in a structure characterized by several layers of resistance.
So far, silver has shown that it is able to penetrate all those layers one by one at a slow pace.
This silver trend is expected to continue into 2025 and forms the basis of our bullish silver forecast.
Readers should read the long-term oriented messages in the $silver cash tag, however, filter out short-term oriented information.

Oh yes, definitely. Here’s what we wrote in our most recent sugar forecast update:
On September 20, 2024, Sugar confirmed our bullish silver forecast for 2025 after recovering sharply from the critical $18 cents per pound level. An increase in the sugar price to 36 dollar cents in 2025 is likely.
