Gold shattered yet another all-time high, and if 10x Research is right, today\u2019s price could be the cheapest investors will see for a while. <\/strong><\/p>\n Meanwhile, Bitcoin continues to drift sideways, conspicuously absent from the year-end rally that has swept through traditional safe-haven assets.<\/p>\n Sponsored<\/small><\/p>\n Spot gold climbed as high as $4,459.60 an ounce in early Asian trading on Tuesday, extending a 2.4% surge from the previous session\u2014the biggest single-day gain in over a month. The yellow metal is now up 67% year-to-date, on track for its strongest annual performance since 1979.<\/p>\n The rally is being fueled by a confluence of factors: growing expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates<\/a> twice in 2026, escalating geopolitical tensions across multiple fronts, and sustained central bank buying. The US has intensified its oil blockade against Venezuela, Ukraine struck a Russian shadow fleet tanker in the Mediterranean for the first time, and Japan-China tensions remain unresolved.<\/p>\n Gold-backed ETFs have recorded inflows for four consecutive weeks, with total holdings rising every month this year except May. Goldman Sachs has issued a base-case target of $4,900 for 2026, with risks skewed to the upside.<\/p>\n Quantitative research firm 10x Research issued a high-conviction buy signal<\/a> on gold, scoring 7.4 out of 10\u2014one of the strongest readings in years.<\/p>\n Sponsored<\/small><\/p>\n Gold: New Signal -> based upon 9\/10 observations<\/p>\n Gold has just triggered one of its highest-confidence trading signals in years, at a moment when macro conditions are quietly shifting beneath the surface. <\/p>\n Our latest model shows that similar setups historically delivered strong\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/G35ak15vsD<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2014 10x Research (@10x_Research) December 23, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n The firm\u2019s model identified a price range pattern that has historically delivered a median return of +7.8% over the following three months, with 9 out of 10 past occurrences showing positive returns. That translates to a 90% hit rate.<\/p>\n Based on the current price of $4,480, 10x Research sets a target of $4,830 and recommends a stop-loss at $4,393, representing a 2% downside risk. The firm suggests allocating up to 51.3% of a portfolio to the trade, reflecting elevated confidence in the setup.<\/p>\n Crucially, the research note emphasized that this rally is not driven by speculative excess. Instead, it reflects structural forces: declining real interest rates, heightened geopolitical risk, and renewed institutional demand. New entrants to the gold market\u2014including stablecoin issuers like Tether and corporate treasury departments\u2014are creating a broader capital base that adds resilience to demand.<\/p>\n Sponsored<\/small><\/p>\n Gold isn\u2019t alone. The entire precious metals complex is surging.<\/p>\n Silver edged up to $69.21 an ounce, within striking distance of its all-time high of $69.45 set just a day earlier. The metal has been buoyed by speculative inflows and lingering supply dislocations following a historic short squeeze in October.<\/p>\n Platinum rallied for an eighth consecutive session, breaking above $2,000 for the first time since 2008. The metal has gained approximately 124% this year, driven by tightening conditions in the London market and robust Chinese demand.<\/p>\n Palladium surged 7.1% to hit its highest level in nearly three years.<\/p>\n Sponsored<\/small><\/p>\n The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index, meanwhile, fell 0.4%, providing additional tailwind for dollar-denominated commodities.<\/p>\n While gold and silver celebrate new highs, Bitcoin is notably absent from the festivities.<\/p>\n The largest cryptocurrency is trading around $88,526, down 21% from its September peak above $112,000. Over the past 24 hours, BTC has moved within a narrow band between $87,979 and $90,353. With thin holiday liquidity ahead, directional conviction appears limited on both sides.<\/p>\n For Bitcoin bulls hoping for a Santa Claus rally, the chimney appears to be relatively small now. Gold has captured the safe-haven bid, and this Christmas, the cryptosphere still awaits Santa\u2019s visit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Disclaimer<\/p>\n In adherence to the Trust Project<\/a> guidelines, BeInCrypto is committed to unbiased, transparent reporting.
