Observational study of a roughly 46-year gold-led commodity rhythm, reading public gold history alongside a repeating illustrative silhouette. Peak-zone markers sit at Jan 1934 · 1980 · 2026 · 2072. The long-run gold price in US dollars (log scale) now sits on Commodity charts. Kondratiev / long-wave literature is context only — this page is not “the Kondratiev law”, not a predictive model, not a valuation model, and not a timing signal.
One silhouette repeats on every ~46-year lap, like the bond, real estate and Bitcoin cycle charts: peak zone → post-peak decline (~4–8 years) → range-bound zone (~12y) → trough zone (~20y after the peak) → advance with a mid-run correction → final run into the next peak zone. The Live marker moves with today’s date — observation of the charts, not a forecast.
Repeating cycle: one lap of the tile silhouette — each new lap resets onto the same loop.
Looking for the gold price itself (with the 15 Aug 1971 marker)? See Charts → Commodity charts — gold, silver, copper, nickel, lithium and iron ore from public sources.
The first ~4–8 years after each peak-zone marker: the silhouette's sharp drop from the top (about the first 4 years) and the early part of the drift, up to peak + 8 years. A sketch boundary, not a forecast.
Most of the drawdown: an extended down-sideways drift with a rebound hump and a smaller later hump, grinding into a trough zone about 20 years after the peak (~1954, ~2000, ~2046*, ~2092*). The 1934→1954 stretch sits in the US$35 peg era, so it is a model position, not a market low.
The main multi-year advance in the gold-led commodity story, ending in a sharp mid-run correction (shoulder) in the third quarter of the lap. Historically this is where free-market gold made its large secular moves — still an observation, not a signal.
Final advance into the next peak-zone calendar marker. 2026 is under study as a zone, not a guaranteed top; 2072 is theoretical from the ~46-year spacing.
This page does not claim a new natural law. It is an observational study of public gold history with a repeating illustrative ~46-year silhouette, used for study at Adirindin. Longer-wave writers (including Kondratiev and later long-wave interpreters) are cited only as context — different clocks, different claims. We do not clone third-party paid cycle product art.
Gold price series (now on Commodity charts): long-run USD gold from the public datasets/gold-prices monthly file (historical / official prints in the peg era; market prints thereafter), refreshed with Yahoo Finance GC=F where available. Peg steps such as ~$20.67 and ~$35 are documented public series values — not invented. That chart updates as new price data comes in.
