Bybit and FXStreet Forecast Gold Could Rise to $4,000 Per Ounce by the End of 2025

Bybit and FXStreet have released a joint report forecasting that gold could rise to $4000 per ounce by the end of 2025, driven by a combination of macroeconomic pressures

Cryptocurrency exchange Bybit and foreign exchange portal FXStreet have released a joint report forecasting that gold could hit $4,000 per ounce by the end of 2025.

The report predicts that a combination of macroeconomic pressures, technical momentum, and increasing investor aversion to traditional assets will propel gold to new highs.

The report comes as gold reached a new all-time high of around $3,500 last month, marking a 26% gain year-to-date and a 41% jump over the past 12 months.

Over the same period, the S&P 500 has declined 11%, highlighting gold’s renewed strength as a safe-haven asset.

Investors are rotating capital into gold in response to persistent inflation, a weakening US dollar, and deteriorating real returns in equity and bond markets.

The metal’s traditional role as a hedge against currency devaluation has resurfaced, with both central banks and private investors seeking shelter from fiat instability amid escalating concerns over US trade policy under President Donald Trump, which has reignited fears of a global tariff war.

The report stated:

“By serving as a neutral reserve asset, gold provides much-needed stability amid shifting trade patterns and geopolitical tensions.”

The report noted that capital is being pulled from vulnerable currencies—including the euro, yen, yuan, and peso—into gold, which offers liquidity and political neutrality.

From a technical perspective, indicators remain supportive of further gains.

The MACD remains in positive territory, with the 12-day moving average above the 26-day, signaling sustained bullish momentum.

Meanwhile, the RSI at 60 reflects ongoing strength without tipping into overbought levels.

Analysts expect gold to consolidate near $3,500, a key resistance level, before targeting $4,000 by year-end, assuming macroeconomic and geopolitical headwinds persist.

However, the technical outlook may become less favorable if the MACD crosses below the zero line or the 12-day average drops below the 26-day average, suggesting a potential shift in momentum.

Additionally, RSI readings above 70 could indicate overbought conditions, warranting caution.

The report also highlighted silver as a compelling diversification opportunity.

Despite lagging behind gold in performance, silver remains significantly below its 2011 peak of $50 per ounce and may benefit from both defensive capital flows and rising industrial demand, especially from green energy and infrastructure sectors.

This combination could propel silver to new highs, presenting a unique opportunity for investors seeking asymmetric upside and an excellent hedge against macroeconomic uncertainty.
