Opportunity? Gold could reach $3,000 per ounce

How much is a gold bar worth?

Gold has melted faces in 2024 with remarkable performance and consecutive all-time highs throughout the year. Now, Mike McGlone suggests a potential rally toward $3,000 per ounce, testing this psychological resistance.

The senior commodity strategist for Bloomberg Intelligence shared this analysis on X (formerly Twitter) on April 2. Essentially, the combination of two financial indicators backs Mike McGlone’s forecast of a gold rally to $3,000 per ounce.

“The lowest CBOE S&P 500 Volatility Index (VIX) and highest US T-bill rates since about 2007 may be a foundation for gold to head toward round-number resistance of around $3,000 an ounce.”

Gold price analysis and $3,000 prediction

From its daily chart, gold suggests having two key support levels that investors should watch. The first at $2,150 and the second at $2,050, with a core psychological support at $2,000. 

Notably, these could become important zones in the short term, considering an overbought Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 82.14. Thus, gold could face a retracement to balance a greedy bull market with its current strong momentum.
