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?

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 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

Silver & Copper Surge 7%+ | NEWP, HL, AG, EXK & SVM Lead the Rally

The Silver and Copper sectors rose an average of ~8.36% and 7.61% respectively at the February 3, 2026 ET market close, primarily driven by a sharp technical rebound and dip-buying after severe prior sell-offs, fueled by renewed industrial demand expectations (especially AI/data centers and clean energy for both metals), supply tightness, and a pause in the US dollar's rally following recent volatility from Fed chair nomination concerns and margin hikes. This relief rally followed dramatic plunges in precious metals late last week, with silver futures surging over 12% and copper advancing amid broader commodity stabilization. $S&P 500(.SPX)$ pulled back as investors dumped technology stocks and moved into shares more broadly linked to improvem

Gold and Silver Are Back — How toposition ETFs?

Last week, gold saw a sharp correction after hitting a record high of 5,595.4 USD per ounce, briefly falling to 4,460 USD. Today, gold has moved back above 5,000 USD per ounce, with an intraday high of 5,092.3 USD. Over the past two trading days, prices have rebounded by more than 8.5%. Silver experienced an even more violent move. At its peak, silver briefly surged above 121 USD, before suffering the largest single-day drop on record, plunging 26.9% to 79 USD. The decline was significantly deeper than that of gold. Today, silver has reclaimed the 90 USD level, marking a recovery of 13.2%.

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

Gold & Silver: Rebound or Reversal? Two Key Signals to Watch

After the sharp sell-off, the question weighing on many people right now is: can we buy the dip in gold and silver? If we do, are we looking at a short-term rebound—or a true reversal that resumes a longer-term uptrend? Let me start with the conclusion. In my view, the current rise in gold and silver should be treated only as a short-term rebound. Before prices rebound beyond a certain level, we should be extremely cautious: assume there will still be a C-wave selloff, and when the rebound peaks and shows signs of turning down, try again to build short positions. If the market keeps rising and moves above the entry level for the short, then stop out immediately. In short, before the market forms a clear bottoming structure, and before the risk event of Wash taking over as Fed Chair is defi

Why Gold, Silver and Microsoft Crashed But Meta Rose

Relative to prices as of on the 28th of January 2026, gold ($SPDR Gold ETF(GLD)$) fell 10% and silver ($iShares Silver Trust(SLV)$) fell 29% on the 30th. The 28th of January was the day when both Microsoft ( $Microsoft(MSFT)$) and Meta Platforms ( $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ ) reported the Q2 earnings for their Fiscal Year 2026 and Full Year 2025 results respectively. The very next day was one of the worst for Microsoft’s stock history and went on to lose approximately $357 billion in market value by dropping 10%. Only three other events were as bad or worse for the stock since its IPO in 1986: Black Monday in 1987, the d

[Event] Gold’s Wild Ride – Are You Bullish or Bearish This Week?

Gold has been on a crazy ride. It dropped hard in the last few days, then jumped back up in one big move. Now the price is above $5,000/oz and traders are very nervous. What’s behind the move? Position unwinds and margin calls after a parabolic rally Geopolitical tension (an Iranian drone approaching a US aircraft carrier was shot down) A potential shift at the Fed, plus higher futures margin requirements Analysts still see a longer-term bull trend, but in the short term, volatility is extreme. Key levels like $4,400 support and $5,000–$5,100 resistance are in focus. So here’s the question for this week 👇 Where will spot gold $XAU/USD(XAUUSD.FOREX)$ close this Friday ?

🌟🌟🌟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
Market Context and Recent Price Action Recent sharp sell-offs in gold and silver were among the most extreme in decades, reflecting forced liquidations, extreme leverage unwinding, and technical stresses rather than outright changes in fundamentals. Silver, in particular, saw outsized moves driven by speculative positioning in China and subsequent margin calls. Both metals then staged a strong intraday rebound, with spot gold back above $4 800 and silver reclaiming around the $83 mark.  Short-term price spikes and reversals of this magnitude often occur when markets have been stretched beyond typical trading ranges. These reversals can be driven as much by trading dynamics (positions getting flushed) as by investor sentiment.  --- Is This a Renewed Rally? Arguments in favour of a
The recent rebound in gold and silver is a fascinating development, especially given the extreme volatility across risk assets. Let's break down the potential implications of this move. 1. Dead-Cat Bounce or Trend Reset? A dead-cat bounce refers to a brief, shallow recovery in a declining market, often followed by a continuation of the downtrend. On the other hand, a trend reset implies a more significant reversal, potentially marking the beginning of a new uptrend. Technical Analysis: The sharp rebound in gold and silver has pushed prices back above key technical levels, such as the 50-day moving average. This could be seen as a positive sign, as it suggests that the bulls are still in control. Fundamental Analysis: The recent volatility in risk assets has led to increased demand for safe

How to Buy the Dip After Gold and Silver Crash?

After a near-vertical rally, gold and silver were finally “punished” last Friday, with both plunging sharply in a single day. Silver, measured from its peak, even suffered a drawdown close to being cut in half. After such a violent round-trip, do ordinary investors still have a viable trading opportunity?​ From a volatility standpoint, the current environment is no longer suitable for the vast majority of retail and traditional precious-metals traders. Moves that used to take a full year can now happen in a single day or within a week. This kind of irrational volatility also means the old stop-loss logic and methods stop working. Whether you try to buy the dip or fade a rebound, there’s a high probability you’ll get stopped out. And if someone dares to skip a stop-loss to avoid getting wic

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

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.

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

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!
