Why is gold up today?

[Strongkored]

there seems to be a huge economic uncertainty going around right now. some say it’s from tariffs, some say it’s from geopolitical tension but one thing’s for sure gold hitting new all time high is putting pressure on the dollar. people have resorted to gold because they consider it as a safe haven.

Current world events and the speculation that has arisen could be contributing factors. Many people are seeking to secure their money in more stable assets that won't depreciate in value, such as gold.
The media also plays a role in driving gold's continued appreciation, the more it's reported, the more people are attracted to buying it.

are you holding gold right now?

Not much but I think since it is an investment the amount will add up to better long term returns.

Currently, we are seeing how political leaders around the world are putting pressure on tariffs and other things in various ways, which can lead to inflation. Geopolitical tensions are creating tension and the value of the dollar is decreasing, which is why people are losing confidence in it, so they are turning to gold. In particular, we are seeing that the price of gold has increased rapidly in the past few days and people are gaining confidence in it. And they think that investing in gold will keep their money safe, and they may be at risk, so investing in gold is safe. I think that keeping money in the bank is not very safe at the moment, so investing in Bitcoin and gold will be good for the future.

are you holding gold right now?

I am not holding gold at the moment but after the recent crash it went through, I am thinking of buying some small dollar worth of gold, possibly the tether gold but I haven't really decided yet is gold investment is completely new to me, and thanks to cryptocurrency that have made buying and holding gold very possible in crypto currency form..

But let me say that the truth is that investors didn't start resorting to gold as a safe haven today, gold has been considered a safe haven from time immemorial and this is why it's often the first asset people run to when it seems something is going wrong with the fiat money system.
But personally, I have always preferred investing in bitcoin than gold, but right now,. Maybe it's time to diversify some of my bitcoin investment into gold.

[karabiber]

There are projections that if these political tensions, wars, and the tariff war continue, the price could rise even further in 2026; $6,000 is the target, and I believe it could grow even more than that.

I do not know if you've noticed, but when gold is below $2k or $3k, I hardly see any expert making prediction about the price of gold. But when gold reached $4k and then $5k, thousands of analyses and predictions about gold appeared, believing it would reach $6k or $8k. This remind me of the time when Bitcoin was trading at $30k or $50k, and nobody said anything about it. But as it reached $100k and $120k, hundreds predicted it would reach $150k or $200kbefore the end of 2025. But what happen after that?

Therefore, Im not saying that gold has peaked and will not rise anymore. But if it were me, I would avoid investing in gold at this time.

When gold prices are flat or low, no one talks about it. Because gold is boring, it doesn't make headlines. When gold starts to rise rapidly, then people say that gold is a safe haven, that a crisis is approaching, and that gold will rise further. Because people feel confident when they see the rise, but lose interest during calm periods.  This also applies to crypto. Profits in gold often accumulate before they are discussed, and by the time they start being discussed, most of them have already been priced in.

At this point, I believe gold has risen enough. If you have gold, I recommend waiting to sell, and if you want to buy, I advise caution. The world is going through a period of unprecedented aggression.

[Rabata]

When a major negative situation arises in world politics, people pay special attention to the security of their assets. Usually, when a major war situation arises between powerful countries, they try to keep it in gold by selling fiat money, stock market and other assets. Due to which there is a massive rise in the price of gold. The special attention of investors like Bitcoin throughout the year is not found in gold until such an unstable environment is created. Some countries are trying to hold gold to stay ahead financially in world politics. Due to the current high price of gold, there is now a big concern about it. The price of gold has begun to fall as the threat of war between Iran and the United States has gradually weakened.

I still hold gold now because I bought it a long time ago, this may be a fairly old asset, it is said to be eternal savings, if you don't need it then you won't sell it. Yes, this increase is based on the uncertain economic situation, global conflict which continues to have endless problems, the threat of a third world war and massive inflation over the last five years which makes gold the choice in the current situation, at least in the near future, there is also the threat of a crisis that threatens the world economy.

Since you invested a long time ago, you were able to buy gold at a much lower price at that time. But recently the price has been increasing very rapidly. So now it will be very risky for those who are investing in gold. Because the price of gold is increasing at such a fast pace, it is suddenly going down in a big way. Which cannot be a good sign at first. The price of gold in the last two days has fallen by more than $630 per ounce. Those who invested earlier, like you, should hold gold. However, investing in gold again at this time will be very risky.

A fatal mistake in investing is buying at the peak, especially during a surge like yesterday. That's just FOMO and will only lead to faster bankruptcies. It takes a long time for gold to reach a new ATH, with a slower rate of increase each year. Unlike Bitcoin, which can be calculated in halving intervals or four-year cycles, gold isn't like that.

I'll definitely save it. I don't feel like I need the money yet, and unless I do, I'll definitely sell it.

I think the entire reason for the increase in the price of gold is geopolitical. The world is currently in a situation where a global war can break out at any moment. The dispute between the UK and Australia, the possibility of an American attack on Iran and the disagreement with the US over the occupation of Greenland by NATO countries, in this situation, ordinary people want to protect their economy, due to which they are choosing the safest asset. In view of which they are deciding to store gold instead of fiat currency. And when the buying pressure on gold increases in the market, naturally its price is increasing. Although today there was a significant fall in the price of gold, but at the time of writing, the price of gold is again on the rise. I think the bold decision that people have taken to store Bitcoin with fiat currency is appropriate because if a global war really breaks out, the value of other assets will decrease significantly, which will be less noticeable in the case of gold.

History has always shown that whenever the price of gold rises significantly there's usually a major upheaval behind it such as a financial crisis, war, or failure, or fear of a system collapsing, among other things.

I also agree with you that the gold price increase is related to the Greenland issue. Trump said he would impose tariffs on a country that is actually a US ally in NATO. The US would impose tariffs if Greenland didn't agree to be purchased by the US. The US is threatening its closest ally with economic warfare. So, this is the reason why gold is rising many countries are afraid and buying gold. Furthermore, the Chinese central bank has been buying a lot of gold and China is buying gold regardless of price. Perhaps like Michael Saylor buying Bitcoin.

Gold has been having bad days back to back for a while now, ever since that 29th crash we have seen it go down for a while now, while there are some attempts at recovery it's still going down for the few days so far. I can see why though, because it has gone up too much, and when something goes up that much that quickly, there are a lot of people who want to get out some profit and use it somewhere else.

The whole world is filled with people who are now selling gold to use that for something else. I get that this may not be perfect situation for gold holders, but it's good to get rid of the weak hands on the long term, allows only the people who are willing to hold to stay and that should not be an issue for you.

Well, looking at how gold has been going down for a while, we can safely say that it is not going to be too long until we start seeing it at $4.5k or even lower. Reality is that many people put their money at gold because that is all they trusted, with all the crisis and sickness and wars around the world they wanted something safe and thought gold was a good one, but because it went too much high, now many are profit booking and that is causing the price to go down, which is what we are seeing this week and will see for few more weeks as well.

The price of gold has begun to fall as the threat of war between Iran and the United States has gradually weakened.

Now it also looks like the war between Iran and US was just a fake one to manipulate the Gold prices, but only if it really helped in gold rates, because there can be a lot of other reasons for gold rates, pumping that fast and quickly, because some analysts are also shocked to see a higher pump this time.

It might be manipulation to make some companies make more money, which might gather up somewhere in the US or maybe somewhere else but it is a conspiracy theory haha, not something I am saying with proof.

But it is a bit logical!

In my opinion, gold could continue to rise because the geopolitical situation remain very tense and war in the Middle East could break out at any time. But it has already risen too much, so there is not much room for further growth
It may continue to rise, but gains are likely to be modest, while the risk of a major correction is greater and could occur at any time. Therefore, investing in gold at this time only present us with more risk than opportunity.

To make a profit, we need to invest in assets that have not appreciated yet, not those that have already appreciated too much.

The price of gold has been rising or falling now. However, it is not the case that people sell gold even when the price of gold starts falling. In fact, very few people use it for trading. People keep it as a safe asset. Those who sell when the price increases, in many cases, sell it due to necessity. There are many people who have bought gold for many years but they never think about the price of gold. And big companies or governments hold gold as reserves. Because gold is the only asset that has maintained its value for thousands of years.

I guess you have not checked the gold price again because after dropping to $4,5k, gold has risen back above $5k today.

Indeed, due to increasing global instability, many people are flocking to invest in gold because they believe it is a safe haven that can protect them. But it is not just investor and speculators buying gold, even central banks are buying gold frantically, especially China.
Speculator might take profit, but I do not think the banks will do that. They buy gold to reduce their dependence on the USD and strengthen their economy, not for speculation.

As long as the world remain unstable and central bank continue to buy gold, do not expect gold to fall and money will not be flowing back into bitcoin anytime soon.

Yesterday, it was around $4,800, and I opened a long position because it looks to me like it will return to $5,600+, which was its previous All-Time High (ATH). I set my TP (Take Profit)
at $5,500 with just a small amount. To be honest, Gold is showing really good performance so far, and I think other Gold holders are seeing this as well.

Aside from that, it seems you’re right that it might even climb as high as $6,000; that’s likely what other holders are thinking these days.
But of course, I’ll still keep a close eye on it.

this is another factor that is different than before because social media is now widely accessible and news travel faster and reach farther distances so the news of gold being an attractive investment has reached many more people

[Nahl]

When inflation go high and fiat value decreases people thought gold can being an the solution of those issues that because in the middle of uncertain condition of economic world only gold which never under value although people didn't stopped for mined but gold still remain stable even we all know gold as valuable commodities which people have never lost interest to invest on it but many people have going to hype and invest at peak prices and when the correction happened they seems a bit panic and sell their gold unfortunately the people like this don't have much patient to wait and they seems do not understand gold is very good for long term investment

The reason why the price of gold is increasing day by day is that all investors are looking at gold and consider it safe. If we go back to the past, it will be seen that even after the worst losses in World War II, it was safe to have gold reserves. Now it appears that Politically, this may put pressure on the dollar in various ways, and this has increased confidence in gold. Moreover, due to various wars and tariffs, Bitcoin prices are falling and many are facing losses. And thus gold investors are increasing.

It's too obvious that this Gold pump was manipulated, there is no way it's real for an asset to be pumped in a short period of time and lose 6T in just an hour, that's 2 times the market cap of entire Bitcoin and nobody seems be worry about it. If this was to be Bitcoin market that falls like this, the whole time line will be full of headlines, Bitcoin is dead, Bitcoin is not longer alive, this is the time Jim rammer makes the news with his content and useless crypto prediction.

The market makers are trying to make Gold to be a mainstream market and speculation but it wouldn't last long. It Gold becomes too much volatile, reserves are going to shrink, what they fear about Bitcoin will be their greatest friend. If that becomes a norm, maybe critics can keep quiet with their bias reasons why they think Bitcoin shouldn't be use as a reserve. Even the US had that in their roadmap, but changed mind later.

I agree with your point of view. When the rate of inflation starts to increase, fiat currencies start to loss in values in the international market, just like we have seen the devaluation of the dollar in the international market, and as a result of that, the price of gold started increase heavily. But there is one thing that we are forgetting here, which is that according to some reports and Trump's own statements, the inflation is eliminating in the US, but at the same time, we are seeing the price of gold increasing its value in the international market, and the value of the dollar decreasing in the international market.

So maybe all of these things are a part of the play to devalue the dollar as an international trading currency for global trades. We know that China really wants that to happen as it wants the US dollar to be replaced with any other asset or currencies for international trades, and the main plan of China behind all this is to make the dollar weak in the international market. And we also know that America will never let this happen. So let's see what will happen in the future. Well, what do you think about this?

[Dreadboost]

Gold rise is not a threat to the USD, even though because of inflation, people run to gold as a safe haven, and USD reduce value, it will certainly be fixed later on, it will not be extinct, so I don't really understand the threat your talking about.

These are 2 different currencies, and if one reduces in value it will be worked on independently,
If USD losses value do you feel they'll just leave it that way? Fed will certainly react.
So gold is not a threat.
