Robert Kiyosaki’s Gold and Silver Warning: Price Drop Doesn’t Change His Mind

Gold and silver are getting crushed. Gold has fallen from around $4,540 to $4,155 – roughly 8.5% over the past month. Silver has dropped from about $78 to $64.83, a steep decline that recently pushed it to its lowest level since June 11.

Most investors would panic. Not Robert Kiyosaki. The Rich Dad Poor Dad author just posted a tweet explaining why falling prices don’t change his mind, and why he’s actually waiting to buy.

Kiyosaki’s Core Argument: Context Over Price

Kiyosaki starts with a rare admission of vulnerability. He has made many mistakes, and one of the biggest was “letting price determine reasons to buy or sell any asset.” He now believes that understanding the environment an asset is in matters far more than the asset’s current price.

He gives a practical example. If the price of real estate is crashing, he doesn’t just look at the price. He looks at job growth and the area around the property. With gold and silver, he watches something else entirely: political and banking leaders. Are they solving the problems of the US and world economy? Or are they making things worse? His answer is blunt: “I think our global leaders are incompetent only making things worse.”

This is the foundation of his entire approach. He doesn’t need the price to be high to be bullish. He needs the macro environment to be broken – and he believes it is.

Despite his long-term bullishness, Kiyosaki is not buying the dip blindly. He has a specific trigger. He is “watching prices of gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum on technical charts and will buy when prices reverse their decline.”

This is an important distinction. He is not calling a bottom. He is not telling people to catch a falling knife. He is waiting for the chart to confirm that the downtrend has turned before committing capital. His fundamental case – that global leaders are incompetent, that the dollar is debasing, that hard assets will ultimately win – is already in place. But he wants technical confirmation before he enters. And he believes that confirmation is coming. He says the technical charts on gold and silver show they are “poised for a massive rise in prices.”

What Moved Gold and Silver

Gold and silver are both down in the latest available market data. Gold is around $4,155 per troy ounce and silver is around $64.83 per troy ounce, with both moving lower on June 19–20, 2026. The pullback is being driven by three main factors: a stronger U.S. dollar, higher-for-longer interest-rate expectations, and easing safe-haven demand after recent geopolitical tensions.

What moved gold – the Gold price fell to about $4,155 on June 19, extending a multi-day slide and leaving it roughly 8.5% lower over the past month, though it remains well above earlier levels. Recent coverage notes that gold has been under pressure as the Fed signaled a more hawkish stance, which lifted yields and the dollar. When bond yields rise, the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding gold increases, making it less attractive to investors.

What moved silver – Silver is also softer, with live quotes around $64.83–$65.56 per ounce on June 20, after recent sessions that saw it drop below $65 and hit its lowest level since June 11. News reports say silver has been especially sensitive to the Fed outlook and geopolitical developments, producing sharper swings than gold. This is typical – silver tends to be more volatile than gold because it has both industrial and monetary demand.

The Bigger Picture: Gold and Silver in the Context of History

Kiyosaki’s confidence comes from history. Gold and silver have had brutal corrections before – and they always rebounded. In 2008, gold dropped 35% and then rallied 180%. In the 1970s, gold dropped 50% and then rallied 770%. Silver dropped 60% in 2008 and rallied 490%. These corrections are not signs of failure. They are signs that the market is shaking out weak hands.

The current correction is the third-largest for silver within a bull market and the fourth-largest for gold. Both are on par with the 1973 correction and the Great Financial Crisis. In terms of time from top to bottom, this is more akin to the 1973 correction (about 20 weeks) or 2006 (about 20 weeks).

All of these drops led to enormous V-bottom rallies. If history repeats, gold and silver could rebound sharply – with some models indicating gold could hit $8,000 by October.

Our Take

Kiyosaki’s warning is sensible for a long-term investor. He is not panicking out of gold and silver. He is watching the macro environment and waiting for a technical reversal. The fundamentals – central bank buying, supply deficits, and fiat currency debasement – have not changed. The current sell-off is a liquidity event, not a structural collapse.

However, the near-term risks are real. The Fed may keep rates higher for longer. The dollar could strengthen further. Gold and silver could test lower levels – $4,000 for gold and $60 for silver – before a bottom forms. Kiyosaki is right to wait for confirmation. Trying to catch a falling knife is dangerous.

For those with a longer time horizon, the current correction is a normal part of a bull market. The smart money is watching and waiting. The ignorant will do nothing – and that might be the smart thing for them to do.
