Goldman Upside Alert: Could Gold Reclaim $5,400 This Year?

Goldman Sachs says its $5,400/oz gold target for December 2026 now carries meaningful upside risk, arguing January’s violent gold–silver swings were driven by Western capital flows, not Asian speculation. The bank highlights tight London liquidity in silver, structurally rising central-bank demand, and limited speculative positioning as signs this rally isn’t a bubble. With reserve diversification away from the dollar accelerating, Goldman is promoting an upgraded “stocks + gold” barbell, favoring precious metals over bonds as the primary hedge. Is gold being repriced for a post-dollar world?

I pick A. Geopolitical risk could push gold above $5,000.”
This is a profound shift in narrative from a major institutional player. Goldman's upgrade isn't just a price target revision; it's a strategic reassessment of gold's role in a changing global monetary system. Let's dissect the key points. 1. Is Gold Being Repriced for a Post-Dollar World? Yes, but it's more accurate to call it a "multi-polar reserve world" repricing. We are not witnessing the dollar's imminent demise, but rather the accelerating erosion of its unipolar dominance. The evidence for this structural repricing is compelling: Central Bank Demand: This is the new, non-negotiable floor for gold. Buying from EM central banks (China, India, Turkey, Poland) is strategic, price-insensitive, and persistent. It's driven by a desire to diversify away from USD/G7 bond exposure, a trend t

🌟🌟🌟Gold never moves in straight lines & right now it is trading inside a pressure cooker of geopolitics, liquidity shifts and fear premium. My pick is B - Flat to slightly up USD 4800 to 5000. Why? Geopolitical tension is already priced in.  The Trump Iran rhetoric has pushed gold sharply higher but markets tend to pause after the first fear spike.  The safe haven bid stays alive but the panic premium cools. Liquidity stays supportive.  With US deficits ballooning and bond yields struggling to stay positive, Gold has support. Momentum is stretched.  After a strong run, Gold often consolidates as traders take profit and funds rebalance. In short , you have Gold holding its gains, maybe nudges higher but doesn't yet have the catalyst for a clean breakout above USD 50

After the sharp plunge on Silver , this week focus on mending the damages from last week. Who would have anticipated that it wounld plunge so much within a day. Heavily on Sell Puts, to keep the positions opened and topping up $ to maintain the margins, anticipating That this week Silver would reclaim back the loses. Big lesson learned, always buy protected calls and puts on highly volatile gold and silver.

Gold Driven By "Debasement Trade" If Continue, Bull Market Stands

Gold, silver attempt rebound for second day in a row as investors buy the dip. But is the bull market already starting or we will still see periodic dramatic pullback. The precious metals market is currently in the middle of a "violent reset." After a historic crash in late January—where gold fell nearly 25% and silver plummeted over 40% in just three sessions—we are seeing a significant "buy-the-dip" campaign. Whether this is a safe time to add to your Gold ETF depends on your timeframe: the long-term fundamentals look robust, but the short-term "technical floor" is still being tested. The Rebound: Is the Bull Market Back? Most institutional analysts (J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs, UBS) believe the structural bull market is intact and that the recent crash was a "cleansing" of over-leveraged

A Strong Bullish buying is for $XAU/USD(XAUUSD.FOREX)$ which will close above $5000 this Friday. Should have bought it low last week. From the Technical Analysis perspective, it’s moving averages and other technical indicators all point to Buy signal. Gold prices remain volatile presently with the presence of geopolitical and economic risks. Thanks @TigerEvents @TigerStars @Tiger_comments @Tiger_Earnings @Tiger_SG

A. bullish Gold's reasons for its strong ascend is still around: mainly volatility, to be specific, the us president... If anything, I am of the view that the recent slide was an overreaction to the new fed pick.

It depends on a lot of things. I got a big shock waking up with a 5+% drop and plummeting this week (or last 🥹🤔🤦‍♀️), but I did predict that exact pullback to dip and show a strong signal (you know that dip before going up steadily for awhile). It seems to be flashing that for me so I'm going to go with A. At least by Monday. Friday is usually selloff day so it may only reach it's previous levels. Depends on the US index/$ (& how other safe havens are doing). I think we'll see XAU hit $6000 sooner than April/early May. Might be $8000 towards the tail end of this year!

$XAU/USD(XAUUSD.FOREX)$  $SPDR Gold ETF(GLD)$  Gold fell sharply from it's all time high, found support and quickly rebounded, it show there are many bargain hunters which try to snap up at the pull back. Jewelry shop & bullion shop see a influx of customer. Gold needs to stay above $5000 to keep the bull momentum intact. As long as trump continue to be president then gold will continue to perform well. It will hit $10000 before trump terms end. What do you think?

The sharp rebound in precious metals over the last session certainly captures traders’ attention, but it does not yet constitute an unquestionable resumption of a sustained rally. The recovery reflects short-term technical dynamics, positioning adjustments and risk-off sentiment rather than a confirmed trend reversal. Here is a structured view of the factors at play. Key Drivers Behind the Bounce 1. Technical Rebound After Selloffs Gold and silver were deeply oversold after two days of aggressive declines and forced liquidations. When futures and ETF positioning gets extremely stretched to the downside, short-covering and relief buying are common. The intraday moves of +3% in gold and +5% in silver are characteristic of such rebounds. These moves alone do not guarantee a longer-term trend
“I pick B. I think gold will move in a small range this week.

I pick A My View: Gold sharp rebound and acceptance above $5,000 suggest strong dip buying. As long as momentum holds and risk sentiment stays elevated, gold could close the week above $5k 🚀🚀 Gold is gold 🚀🎁

I pick B. After the violent drop-and-rebound we just saw, I think gold is more likely to digest gains rather than trend hard in one direction into Friday’s close. The market feels nervous rather than confident, which usually leads to choppy, range-bound trading. The recent move looks driven more by forced position unwinds, margin pressure, and headline risk than fresh conviction buying. While geopolitical tension and Fed uncertainty still support gold structurally, the sharp rebound above $5,000 likely pulled forward short-term demand and limits immediate upside. In this environment, I expect large intraday swings but a relatively contained weekly close, with $5,000 as key resistance and $4,800 as near-term support. Longer term I remain constructive on gold, but in the short term, consoli
