The price of gold appears to be steadily rising again after managing to hit a low recently. The $ 2.000 to $ 2.500 price targets are very much at stake in December, with a $ 3.000 chance not out of the question.
There are a few factors to consider that once again highlight Gold's status as a hedge king and safe haven. From the collapse of the high-risk market of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies to the decline in US yields due to the presented $ 6 trillion budget, gold could be in high demand again.
After hitting its all-time high of $ 2.075 recently, the price is still moving enough to see development halted and with a small spike, he expects Kim Chua, PrimeXBT analyst.
After bottoming out at $ 1.680 with a double bottom, the price of gold has steadily risen in a channel, with the potential to reach $ 1.930 before a brief consolidation. With U.S. yields falling and Biden's new $ 6 trillion budget for the year 2022, the fundamental scenario is strong for gold to rise in the second half of this year, with a good chance of surpassing its $. 2.075 ATH.
BTC's recent reversal is also favoring gold, with some conservative investors thinking that BTC's volatility is too much to support a return to gold. This will help gold regain its narrative of being the best store of value and hedge against inflation. Some central banks have started hoarding gold again after a hiatus since August last year. The weekly gold chart has already broken out of its 8-month consolidation and is poised to recover another $ 700 to $ 1.000 in the next 6 months. I expect the price of gold to reach between $ 2.500 and $ 3.000 by the end of this year due to this breakout.
