Gold price forecast
Lukman Otunuga - senior market analyst at FXTM - commented: "If geopolitical tensions in the Middle East cool down, the selling side can take advantage of this opportunity. However, fundamental factors still support the long-term upward trend of gold. In the short term, if prices fall below the support zone of $3,950/ounce, gold may correct, while if they surpass $4,000/ounce, prices could completely move up to $4,050/ounce and reach a new peak.
Michele Schneider - Market Strategist at Market Gauge - said that she took profits from all gold and silver positions because she felt the "fear of missing out" (FOMO) mentality was spreading.
Gold and silver have risen too strongly, so taking profits and waiting for new buying opportunities is completely reasonable, she said, warning that gold prices may be forming a peak model like in 2011.
The $4,000/ounce mark is a key psychological threshold, with the market likely to hover around $3,900-4,100/ounce to accumulate, emphasized Paul Williams, CEO of Solomon Global. However, each adjustment this year is quickly absorbed by strong buying power. The fundamental factors that have pushed gold to this level are not yet gone.
He also added: individuals are increasingly aware of financial risks, public debt and the weakening of legal currency, especially the USD. Many are looking for stability in tangible assets such as gold. In addition to central banks continuing to net buy, retail investors are becoming an important part of this story.
