Gold and silver prices are now trading at $4,000 and $56 per ounce respectively after a week in which both metals lost value. The sell-off was driven by escalating tensions in the Middle East, as Iran threatened to shut the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and the U.S. announced its sixth consecutive night of strikes on Iran yesterday.
Gold hit a high of $5,405 and retraced to $4,006 – a drop of roughly 26%. Silver moved even more violently, climbing to $118 before crashing back to $56, cutting its peak by more than half. Silver briefly dipped below $55.50, and hit its lowest level in 7.5 months.
But one economist is always vocal about silver and gold during times like these – Robert Kiyosaki.
Robert Kiyosaki, the bestselling author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, just posted a new update on X. He quoted legendary investor Jim Rogers:
“Gold and silver going to the moon.”
Kiyosaki added that Rogers believes the prices of gold and silver will go to the moon, yet not without severe retracements. He pointed to the recent numbers to make his case. Gold reached a high near $5,405 before sliding back toward $4,006. Silver climbed to $118, then retraced to $56.
Then came his critique of retail behavior: “Interesting, many ‘speculators’ buy at the TOP then selling at the BOTTOM. I am in agreement with my friend Jim Rogers. During this last ‘retracement’ or ‘crash’ I bought more gold and silver”.

When a friend asked why he was buying, Kiyosaki’s reply was blunt:
“The world economy is in great trouble, and I do not trust our leaders or central banks to solve the problem. In fact they are the problem and things like debt and inflation will only go up”.
He ended with a challenge: “What are you going to do? Buy high sell low. Or: Buy low and get rich? Gold and silver are going to the moon!!!!”

Robert Kiyosaki’s headline forecasts have been highly bullish. In a widely covered post on X, he set “ambitious targets of $27,000 for gold, $100 for silver and $250,000 for Bitcoin by 2026”.
In March 2026, he went even further: “When the bubbles go bust I predict gold will hit $35,000 an ounce one year after the gold bubble goes pop. I predict silver to hit $200 an ounce… Bitcoin will hit $750,000 a coin”.
Here is a summary of his reported targets:
Asset2025 TargetMarch 2026 TargetGold$27,000$35,000Silver$100$200Bitcoin$250,000$750,000Ethereum–$95,000His silver call of $100 in 2025 was actually right – silver did hit that level. But his $200 target for 2026 remains unfulfilled. He has also admitted that the silver call could be wrong.
These are opinion-based forecasts, not formal price targets from a bank or valuation model. The numbers vary across interviews and reposts. The consistent theme is that he expects a major monetary or market crisis to drive investors into hard assets.
Let me be honest. $27,000 or $35,000 gold is effectively a 7x to 9x move from current levels. That is possible over a long period – gold price did something similar from 2000 to 2011. But not in the next year or two. Robert was not as sensational this time, but he did say gold is going to the moon.
Me personally, I am holding gold. But I am not adding to my positions yet. Due to all the macro conditions (escalating Middle East tensions, a hawkish Fed, and a strong dollar) it does look like there might be more dips ahead.
Kiyosaki has been early on many of his calls, but being early is not the same as being wrong. The long-term case for gold and silver is solid. The timing is the hard part.
