Gold price is currently testing a critical $5,100 level, with forecasts suggesting a short-term rise to $5,200 before a potential pullback near $5,000. Analysts highlight bullish monthly trends and expect the price to ultimately surge beyond $8,000 in 2026 due to macroeconomic factors. Growing geopolitical tensions and concerns about currency debasement are strengthening gold's role as a safe-haven asset amid global financial uncertainty.
