#金价突破5500美元 Gold breaking through $5500 is not only a milestone in price but also a signal of the global capital redefinition of safe assets.

From a technical perspective, the gold price has broken out of an ascending triangle pattern, with the measured upside target directly pointing to the $5300-$5500+ range. However, caution is warranted as the daily RSI reading has reached 72, and the weekly RSI is at 82.3, both well above the overbought threshold of 70, indicating short-term technical correction pressure. If the gold price pulls back, the $4360-$4550 range will accumulate a large number of limit buy orders, which is also reinforced by the 50-day moving average.
Fundamentally, the three core reasons supporting the rise in gold prices—weakening US dollar credit, continuous central bank gold purchases, and rising geopolitical risks—have not fundamentally changed in the short term. Even if the gold price retraces 25% from the current level to the 200-day moving average ($3800), although media may portray a pessimistic sentiment, this still falls within a healthy correction.
The Federal Reserve's policy meeting at 2 a.m. on January 29, the risk of a US government shutdown on January 30, and subsequent US inflation and employment data—all these events influence the Fed's policy path and thus cause short-term fluctuations in gold prices.
For ordinary investors, the key may not be predicting specific price peaks but clarifying their investment positioning.
If it’s a short-term trading game, the current high levels mean increased volatility and risk;
If it’s long-term asset allocation, gold’s low correlation with other assets and its robustness in extreme environments remain worth attention.
The story of gold has never been just about gold itself. The brilliance it shines with now is illuminating the collective anxiety and desire for stability, trust, and value storage in the world. And $6000 may just be a midway point in this round of revaluation.
