Gold At Risk Or Just Catching Its Breath? Here’s The Truth

With gold and silver at record highs, fears of a major crash are growing louder. But experts say a true collapse would need powerful triggers - a sharply stronger US dollar, a credible plan to slash America’s debt, or central banks turning sellers. Even peace breakthroughs like a Russia-Ukraine ceasefire may only cause a $150–$200 correction, not a collapse. After a sharp, parabolic rally from $4,100 to $4,550, short-term pullbacks are normal and healthy. Investors are advised not to panic, avoid lump-sum buying at peaks, and instead use corrections to average positions. The bigger message: temper expectations. Gold may not deliver spectacular 70% gains from here, but a steady 12–15% return could still make it a solid portfolio hedge in 2026.
