We are living in both an interesting and volatile world where commodities/stocks explode higher one day then totally tank the next, and this post is focused on the rise and fall of gold prices based on a wide variety of factors.
First and foremost, it’s important to note that gold prices reached an all time high on January 28 of 2026 at $5,608.35 per ounce yet quickly fell shortly thereafter. And while many believed the hype in the short term and continued to follow the herd (which inherently drove the price up), others behind the scenes analyzing the numbers (like us) could see the writing on the wall with market participants all lined up on one side of the market.
Fast forward, at the time of posting this blog gold is hovering at well under $5,000/ounce and the biggest question we keep getting is will it bounce back? And the simple answer is yes, but when?
According to the Founder of Practical Contrarian, Puneet Rastogi, “Gold’s long term secular uptrend still appears intact but the continued parabolic price move appears to have reached deeper into the terminal extreme extending over multiple periodicities and liquidity profiles.” He went on to add: “The strength of the trend is becoming directionally unsustainable and a reversion to the mean with a steep retracement in price is becoming more probable.”
At the same time, what does this essentially mean for investors/speculators/hedgers and how can they maximize profits while effectively managing risk in the current environment? That’s where our strategy for guiding family offices, hedge funds and other financial institutions really shines.
We are continuing our research on the gold market and will share new findings soon. Stay tuned!
