Gold price forecast

According to Kitco, the strongest sell-off in gold history occurred just two days after the metal recorded its largest one-day gain ever. At the peak on Thursday, gold prices reached 5,602 USD/ounce, up 29.5% in January alone. Meanwhile, silver hit a day high above 121 USD/ounce, raising the increase from the beginning of the year to 68.5%.

Analysts believe that such an upward momentum, especially in the first month of the year, clearly cannot last long.

Mr. Neil Welsh - Head of Metals at Britannia Global Markets - commented: "The past few days have been extremely volatile for the entire metal market. For precious metals, this adjustment is not too surprising considering the speed and scale of the increase in January.

Gold and silver have fallen into a technical overbought state, with increases of nearly 20% and more than 40%, while investment positions, leverage and options activities are all at normal levels at short-term peaks".

I believe that the overall trend remains unchanged" - Mr. Welsh said - "The macroeconomic factors that have boosted gold, silver and copper are still present. This seems to be a position adjustment in an ongoing upward trend, not an end point. In my opinion, the precious metal will continue to be well supported until the end of 2026, although the trading range will be wider.

Mr. Ole Hansen - Head of Commodity Strategy at Saxo Bank - said that the strong increase in the month has made trading conditions increasingly difficult, contributing to increasing current volatility.

Marketmakers are increasingly hesitant to take risks, leading to thinner liquidity and wider buying-selling price differences" - he said - "Regarding daily developments alone, it is indeed quite crazy, but if it is pushed back by a week, this is completely normal for a gold market that has shifted from the role of "calm adults" to behaving like a "rebellious teenager", just like silver.

Mr. Matthew Piggott - Director of Gold and Silver at Metals Focus - described the price increase in January as "unreasonable excitement" and said that although very strong, the current sell-off is still a healthy correction.
