Is the price of gold will go up or down

Most analysts predict the gold market will continue its upward trend, with bullish forecasts for 2026 and beyond, driven by strong central bank purchases, safe-haven demand amidst global uncertainty, ETF inflows, and potential weakness in the U.S. Dollar, though short-term consolidation and minor dips are possible before further gains towards $5,000-$6,000+ per ounce.
