Many analysts predict that gold trading will be very quiet in the first days of 2025. What is more worrying is that the sharp decline in the number of investors interested in gold will make it difficult for the precious metal to regain momentum, unless there is a positive factor that benefits gold.

However, despite the short-term challenges, the gold price target of $3,000 an ounce by 2025 is still feasible, said Fawad Razaqzada, market analyst at City Index.

Gold Price Forecast

Any drop in gold prices will attract bargain hunters, long-term investors and those who have booked profits or missed out on the previous big rally, Razaqzada predicted.

Major macroeconomic shifts and rising geopolitical risks will also play a key role in determining gold's trajectory next year, analysts say.

Bitcoin, XRP and other cryptocurrencies have surged, while stock indexes like the S&P 500 and Germany's DAX have hit all-time highs. This shift in risk appetite will reduce the appeal of safe-haven assets like gold in the coming days.

Geopolitical instability is the only factor supporting gold prices. SJC gold rings and bars are on an upward trend.
