Gold vs. Equities in 2025: Insights from Joe DiNapoli and EBC

In a world where volatility is the new normal, 2025 may be the year traders are forced to choose their champions—gold or equities. And according to Joe DiNapoli, one of the most respected names in technical trading, the odds are stacked in gold’s favour, albeit with caveats. Why Gold Still Shines in Uncertain Times The Fintrade Club, alongside EBC Financial Group, recently welcomed Joe DiNapoli to a special seminar in Bangkok titled “Analysing Gold Trends for 2025 with The DiNapoli Method.” During this session, DiNapoli examined gold’s price potential through his trademark Fibonacci-based strategy. Joining him was Thai mentor Mr. Monchai Kongthanapakdi, who helped break down multi-timeframe projections from yearly to daily charts. DiNapoli did not hold back: global crises, from Russia and Ukraine to deepening US debt, are all creating fertile ground for gold to maintain its traditional role as a “safe haven.” He warned that “the U.S. national deficit expanding into the trillions annually” challenges the long-term stability of the dollar and reinforces the case for gold. Technical Forecast: Steady Climb, But Not to the Moon DiNapoli’s take is nuanced. He sees a bullish path but cautions traders to prepare for turbulence. Daily price movements, he projected, could swing by as much as $500 per ounce. Despite the rising popularity of assets like the yuan, yen, or cryptocurrencies, DiNapoli remains resolute: “There is no safer place than gold.” However, he dismissed the hype of a meteoric rise. “Only a 10% probability” exists that gold will reach $10,000 per ounce, he said, marking a clear divergence from some speculative forecasts. Instead, he points to a more realistic resistance zone between $3,720 and $4,200 as a key area to watch. His advice? Be patient. Wait for pullbacks. Turning the Tables on Equities In a move that surprised many in the audience, DiNapoli revealed that he is now shorting global equities—his first bearish stance in years. While he refrained from making direct calls on Thailand’s market due to insufficient data, he suggested that regional stocks would likely echo broader global corrections. Why This Matters for Traders in 2025 DiNapoli’s outlook reflects a deeper theme: disciplined strategies matter more than ever. The seminar ended with a closed-door Q&A, where DiNapoli and Kongthanapakdi fielded questions from media and trading KOLs, diving deeper into methods and market psychology. For traders navigating today’s chaotic environment, DiNapoli’s method offers a framework grounded in logic, not emotion. His forecasts serve as a reminder that gold’s glow may flicker, but it rarely fades—and that blindly chasing equities could be the bigger risk.
