What’s Happening

Gold futures retreated on September 18, 2025, with COMEX gold (GC=F) falling 1.1% to $3,676.90 an ounce and spot gold slipping 0.7% to $3,647.93, one session after prices touched a record $3,707.40. The pullback followed the Federal Reserve's decision to cut interest rates, with analysts characterizing the move as a healthy consolidation rather than a reversal. One cited major technical support at $3,550, a level above the $3,500 threshold at which the market in question would resolve YES. [Uk, Sep 18]

The dip occurred against a backdrop of strongly supportive fundamentals. By early October 2025, gold traded near $3,960, and analysts at Swissquote Bank and elsewhere projected the metal could test $5,000 per ounce, citing persistent central bank demand and expectations of further Fed easing. Traders fully priced a 25-basis-point cut at the October 29 meeting and anticipated another reduction in December, conditions that historically underpin gold prices. For the question of whether gold (GC) will dip to a low of $3,500 by end of December, the technical support zone near $3,550 remains the key level to watch. [Uk, Oct 9]

Longer-horizon forecasts published in 2026 show gold holding above $4,000, with prices rising from $3,303 in June 2025 to $4,008 in June 2026 and trading at $4,055 by late October 2026. Bearish scenarios in that period targeted lows near $3,940 and $3,830, still well above the $3,500 strike. The path to a dip to (LOW) $3,500 by end of December would require a break of major technical support and a sharp reversal of the easing cycle now underway. [Finance, Jul 13]
