Gold to US Dollar
- By date
- Metadoro first
Gold prices have surged 23% since the beginning of 2025, hitting an all-time high of $3,245 per troy ounce and far outpacing the metal’s decade-long average annual gain of 5%. However, the rally now appears overstretched, with mounting technical signals pointing to a potential reversal.
The precious metal has broken above the upper boundary of its long-standing ascending channel, forming what appears to be a developing diamond top pattern—a classic signal of an impending correction. Should prices decline toward the $3,000 mark, the pattern would be nearly complete, suggesting a possible shift in market sentiment.
I see a drop to $3,000–$2,950 per ounce as the primary target zone, with a deeper retracement to $2,700–$2,750 seen as a secondary possibility. A stop-loss will be set at $3,440 to account for potential short-term volatility and to protect against false breakouts.
Gold to US Dollar
- It is traditionally considered as a safe haven asset, which is in demand when market uncertainty and risks are rising. Geopolitical tensions, economic turbulence, and high inflation usually contributes to rising gold prices;
- Gold prices usually move in the opposite direction to the U.S. Dollar vs other currencies. This is not only because gold prices are measured in U.S. Dollars, but also because it derives from the comparison of the yields of safe haven Dollar-denominated assets like U.S. Treasuries that have regular coupons and Gold itself that has no extra paid interest. So, a rising Dollar and Dollar-denominated assets result in lower demand for Gold, dumping its price;
- The demand for precious metal and its use in production purposes also affect gold prices. For example, central banks may have extra demand for gold because they want to store it into their Forex and Gold reserves. Jewelers can contribute to elevated demand too;
- Gold prices could become extremely volatile during trading in a very short period of time. This volatility usually exceeds currencies, commodities, and stocks by far. It may result in a large profit, but it also has large risks while trading.
Traders must be cautious when trading gold. It is better to trade with low volumes. Experience in trading is vital to exercise gold trading.
