Gold price outlook: Expert forecasts $8,000+ rally amid correction & volatility

New Delhi: After scaling record high by breaching $5,500 per ounce in the international market on January 29, 2026, Gold has been facing volatility after the US-Israel and Iran war began on February 28. In India, the 24-karat gold reached a fresh peak of Rs 17,885 per gram on 29 January. While analysts are of the view that Gold may face some selling pressure this week, Ajay Suresh Kedia, the founder of Kedia Advisory said that currently the yellow metal is in a correction phase, but the bigger picture remains bullish. This is not a trend reversal — it’s a setup for the next major move.

Commodity expert Kedia said that Gold price is hovering near $4,700 with key supports at $4,100 – $3,450. He said that the correction is driven as the US Dollar is strengthening, ETF unwinding and liquidity pressure.

Drivers Behind Gold’s Correction & Key Support Levels

Presenting his Gold outlook, he further said that fundamentals remain strong as inflation, debt, geopolitics and central bank demand intact. Kedia said that the technical view is that ‘Wave 4 correction’ is in progress, and base formation for the yellow metal is awaited.

Ajay Suresh Kedia projected Gold rally to come in future, saying a big target is intact: $6,180 → $8,000+ in next structural rally
