 Gold Above $5,500 Is Rewriting the Rules of Trust — and SMX Is Emerging as the Infrastructure Play Behind the Precious Metals Economy! Gold’s move above $5,500 and silver’s historic rally are doing more than signaling risk aversion — they are accelerating a shift toward enforcement, verification, and proof. Regulators, refiners, and institutional investors are no longer satisfied with paper trails and legacy documentation. In precious metals, origin, custody, recycled content, and ESG compliance are becoming enforceable requirements, not voluntary disclosures. As scrutiny intensifies, materials that cannot prove their history begin to carry friction, delays, and discounting. As markets move from trust-based systems to proof-based standards, SMX is emerging as a quiet but increasingly relevant player in the precious metals ecosystem. This is where SMX (NASDAQ: SMX) stands out. Using patented molecular identity technology, SMX embeds an invisible, chemical-based identifier directly into materials like gold and silver, linking them to blockchain-backed records that persist through refining, handling, recycling, and resale. Built to survive audits and inspections, SMX treats verification as infrastructure, not a feature — positioning itself at the center of a market where trust is no longer assumed but tested. Discover how SMX is becoming the verification infrastructure behind gold, silver, and the next era of regulated markets while building shareholder value

If you're wondering whether NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) is a Buy ahead of its Q4 2025 earnings release, the odds are high that it is. Analyst sentiment, institutional activity, valuation metrics and technical setups all suggest this rally may be about halfway complete. NVIDIA could move from around the $180 level to well over $360, and potentially to $520 or more over time. Several catalysts could drive that progress: Q4 results due in late February are expected to be strong, and the annual GTC developer conference in mid-March is widely anticipated to lift industry stock prices. Analyst Trends Show NVIDIA Offers a Deep-Value OpportunityPut aside near-term growth and margin concerns for a moment: analyst trends point to a broadly bullish stance and a deep-value opportunity for investors. MarketBeat's data shows coverage rising over the trailing 12 months to 52 analysts. They rate the stock as a Buy, with a 96% Buy-rating bias and a consensus price target implying roughly 45% upside. Beyond that 45% midpoint, recent price-target increases and above-consensus initiations push the potential toward the high end of the range. A move to $352 would imply roughly 95% upside for investors and likely would not be the end of the trend. Recent commentary from GF Securities and UBS highlights the upcoming catalysts. GF Securities is focused on GTC announcements that could include updates on co-packaged optics, a rack-scale language-processing solution and other hardware advances. UBS is similarly bullish on the pre-release setup, citing favorable supply-chain checks, lingering market doubts despite optimistic management commentary, and subdued stock action over the past few months. NVIDIA Stock Looks Wound Up — Ready to Advance in Early 2026The technical picture is constructive. NVIDIA's share price has been consolidating and formed a bullish pennant, a classic continuation pattern within a longer-term uptrend. If confirmed, the pattern suggests the stock could advance by an amount roughly equal to the preceding rally (at the low end of the range) or by a similar percentage gain at the high end. In this case, that translates to roughly $90 (about 50% upside) on the low end to as much as 100% at the high end.  The technical case is reinforced by the valuation outlook. NVIDIA currently trades at under 10x its 2035 earnings forecast, implying there is room for substantial appreciation — potentially 100% to more than 200% over the period to 2035. A 100% advance would bring NVIDIA's 2035 valuation roughly in line with the broad-market average. If NVIDIA retains a blue‑chip tech premium and trades above 30x 2035 earnings, that scenario would support a roughly 200% stock-price advance. Institutions Are Aggressively Accumulating in Early Q1 2026Institutional data from MarketBeat shows institutions accumulating shares aggressively. Institutions own about 65% of the float, recorded roughly $3.50 in buys per $1 sold on a trailing 12‑month basis, and increased that ratio to over $4.50 to $1 in early 2026. That accumulation provides a solid support base on pullbacks—limiting downside risk while providing a tailwind for rallies. Given this backdrop, NVIDIA is likely to continue trading within its consolidation range until an imminent catalyst — earnings and GTC in the coming weeks — triggers the next leg higher.
