Is Gold Preparing for Another Run at 5,600?

Gold is approaching a critical inflection point as it consolidates below its record high of 5,600. While short-term pullbacks have emerged during periods of US dollar strength and profit-taking, the broader technical structure remains constructive. From a fundamental perspective, trade tensions, elevated geopolitical risks, and sustained central bank demand continue to underpin the medium-term outlook. Tariff uncertainty and US–Iran tensions maintain a geopolitical risk premium, supporting safe-haven flows into gold. In addition, ongoing official sector purchases provide structural demand that helps cushion downside corrections. The primary headwind remains US dollar resilience. A firm dollar has capped rallies in recent weeks, limiting momentum toward a fresh breakout. For gold to decisively challenge 5,600 within the next one to two months, markets would likely require either dollar stabilisation or renewed macro stress. Technically, gold continues to hold above both the 50-day and 200-day moving averages, preserving the bullish trend structure. Momentum indicators suggest consolidation rather than reversal, indicating that pullbacks may remain corrective as long as key support levels hold. Read more on the technical levels, macro drivers and trading scenarios that will determine gold’s price outlook.
