Gold Price Forecast for 2025, 2026, and 2030

Analysis shows that the gold price forecast is as follows:

• 2024: Possibly up to $3000
• 2025: Expected to break 3800 USD
• By 2026: Expected around $4200
• Year 2030: Peak approximately $5155

These predictions are based on current trends and long-term chart analysis. If the gold price drops below $1770 and sustains that level, the bullish argument will no longer hold. However, this scenario is unlikely to occur.

The price of gold in global currencies breaks through

Interestingly, gold prices have begun to hit new highs when priced in various major currencies. This process started at the beginning of 2024. It really feels like this marks the establishment of a gold bull market.

Analysis of Long-term Trends in Gold Prices

We analyze from top to bottom, first looking at the 50-year chart to understand the major trends, and then gradually narrowing it down to shorter time frames.

50-Year Gold Price Trend Chart

The 50-year USD gold price chart shows two key reversal patterns:

1. Declining wedge of the 80s and 90s
2. The cup and handle pattern from 2013 to 2023

The longer the reversal mode lasts, the stronger the subsequent trend will be. This gives people quite a bit of confidence in the upcoming gold bull market over the next few years.

20-Year Gold Price Trend Chart

Zoom in to see the 20-year chart:

• Bull markets typically start slowly and end quickly.
• The last bull market had three phases.

Considering the cup handle formed over the past decade, the new bull market may also develop in several stages.

The Impact of Currency Dynamics on the Gold Bull Market

Gold is essentially a monetary asset. It is influenced by monetary factors.

Data shows that M2 has resumed growth after stagnating in 2022. Historically, gold prices and the monetary base have moved in high correlation. Gold prices sometimes lead in the short term, but the differences usually do not last long.

The currency dynamics of 2024 have boosted gold prices, M2 and gold prices will eventually align.

Similarly, gold prices will also track the CPI. The difference between the two is temporary. They may rise in sync in the coming years, supporting an increase in gold prices in 2025-2026.

Basic Drivers of Gold Prices: Inflation Expectations

What are the most important fundamental factors for gold prices? Inflation expectations. The core of the forecast.

Gold performs exceptionally well in an inflationary environment.

Many analysts are mistaken, believing that gold prices are determined by supply and demand, economic outlook, or recession. Our research has found that inflation expectations are the key.

Inflation expectations are moving along an upward channel, which provides support for the bull market. Data shows that gold prices are indeed correlated with inflation expectation indicators.

Leading Indicators of Gold Prices: Currency and Credit Markets

Important leading indicators of gold prices include:

1. The inverse relationship between the Euro and the US Dollar
2. The positive correlation between bond prices and gold.

The euro is strong, gold is rising. The US dollar is strong, putting pressure on gold. Currently, the euro/USD is performing well, which is favorable for gold.

Government bonds and gold are positively correlated, while bond yields and gold are negatively correlated. After hitting a bottom in mid-2023, gold prices began to rise. Global expectations for interest rate cuts continue to exist, and yields are unlikely to rise significantly again, which is favorable for gold prices.

Gold Futures Market Analysis

Another important indicator is the futures market, especially the commercial net short position. When commercial shorts are low, there is less resistance to rising gold prices; conversely, it limits the increase.

Currently, the commercial net shorts remain relatively high. Combined with the previous analysis, gold prices may rise steadily but slowly.

Overview of Gold Price Forecast

Both the charts and indicators confirm that gold prices will continue to rise in the coming years.

Gold may rise gently at first, then accelerate.

Predictive Analysis Summary:

• The long-term chart shows that the 10-year bull market reversal has been completed.
• The bull market will start in early 2024, earlier than the dollar's breakthrough in March-April.
• M2 and CPI steadily rising support a mild bull market
• Inflation expectations follow an upward trend, strengthening the bullish argument.
• The Euro and U.S. Treasury bonds are bullish in the long term, which is favorable for gold.
• The positioning of the futures market indicates that gold prices will rise moderately.

It seems that gold will continue to rise, approaching $3,800 in 2025, breaking $4,000 in 2026, and possibly reaching around $5,155 by 2030. There may be surprises, but the trend appears to be quite clear.
