With the latest job numbers, most banks are still holding/buying more of these safe-haven assets over cryptocurrencies since 'poor' economic outlook makes gold seem more attractive. Institutions might actually be betting on a slowing economy in the US as jobs have missed expectations for the past four weeks.
Our outlook
Gold looks like it's worth much more than it's priced at right now. Gold's price went over $1,800 in 2020 back when inflation was low along with interest rates.

Jobs numbers are key to telling whether the price of gold will continue to rise, or if this is just a bounce setting up for short positions.

Here are some potential trade setups for both dollar and index longs depending on how the […]
