Robert Kiyosaki is watching the charts for a technical reversal in gold, silver, Bitcoin and Ethereum before he buys more, he said this week. The move comes as precious metals extended a steep retreat from all-time highs and geopolitical tensions around the Strait of Hormuz briefly dragged Bitcoin lower.
Kiyosaki’s macro read
The author of Rich Dad Poor Dad argues the macro backdrop determines an asset’s worth. He keeps backing silver and Bitcoin, and claims the charts point to a rebound — though he offered no price target or timeline. For Kiyosaki, it’s the underlying economic environment, not daily headlines, that will drive his next move.
Hormuz tensions and market moves
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard declared the Strait of Hormuz closed over alleged ceasefire violations. Vice President JD Vance countered there was no evidence, and the waterway remained open. CENTCOM reported 55 ships moving more than 17 million barrels of oil through the strait on Saturday — normal flow is about 20 million barrels per day, a fifth of global oil demand.
Bitcoin traded above $64,000, up about 1.4%, and Ethereum near $1,740 following the developments. BTC is still about 49% below its October record near $126,000, and ETH about 65% under its August peak. Earlier tensions had dragged Bitcoin lower; a US strike on Iran under the truce moved Bitcoin, gold and oil within hours.
What’s next
US-Iran talks are set for Switzerland on Sunday. For Kiyosaki, charts rather than headlines will decide his next purchase. No word yet on whether the Hormuz standoff will shift his view — but he’s not acting until the technicals give him a signal.
