Tether Gold Price Prediction: XAUt Eyes $4230 as Demand Grows

Highlights:

• Tether Gold is pushing the upper level of the $4221.0 – 4214.6 supply zone
• Rally through this level could push Tether Gold to $4231.6 in the short term
• A weakening dollar is likely to drive this momentum 

Tether Gold (XAUt) is in the green today, on a day that the cryptocurrency market is broadly in the red. At the time of writing, Tether Gold was trading at $4222.32, up by 0.55% in the day. However, Tether Gold trading volumes have shrunk slightly during the day. They are down by 1.87% to stand at $16.42 billion. This goes to show that the average Tether Gold holder is not selling their holdings. 

It shows conviction that holders expect the price of Gold to continue going up in the short to medium term. As such, Tether Gold could continue going up even if the broader cryptocurrency market remains weak in the short term. Multiple factors support a continuation of the bullish momentum that Tether Gold has built up so far. 

Weakening US Dollar Could Send XAUt Higher

One of the factors that is likely to send Tether Gold higher is the weakening US dollar. The US dollar has been weakening, and this is increasingly pushing investors to hard assets. At the same time, a weaker dollar means dollar-priced Gold is now cheaper to non-American buyers. This demand could see Tether Gold make new highs in the short to medium term. With the US expected to cut interest rates during the December 9- 10 FOMC, the dollar could weaken even more.

The result is that Gold and other assets could even more. However, even before the rate cut is announced, Gold could continue showing strength relative to other assets. That’s because while a rate cut is expected, it is still speculative at this point.

As such, capital is likely to remain in risk-off mode until the FOMC. Gold, being a risk-off asset, tends to gain under such circumstances. As such, it could keep pushing higher, and the same will reflect in the price of Tether Gold.

Institutional Demand Pushing Tether Gold Higher

Besides the excitement around the upcoming FOMC, there is a lot of demand for Gold from big money players. Recent data shows that Central Banks have been loading up on Gold. Big institutions are also following the same direction. For instance, Tether, the organization behind Tether Gold, is now the world’s largest non-central bank holder of Gold.

This rising demand from Central banks and other institutions is likely to push the value of Gold higher in the foreseeable future. The same will keep reflecting in the price of Gold going into the future. That’s because Gold is a scarce commodity. As such, the more demand rises relative to a low supply, the price will keep going up to find an equilibrium. 

Analysts Agree Gold Could Soon Hit $5000

Analysts are also increasingly driving the strong momentum for Gold. There is a growing consensus amongst analysts that Gold is headed to over $45000 per ounce in the short term. Such price projections at a time when the price is already showing strength could trigger FOMO buying of Gold. The result of FOMO buildup alongside strong institutional demand could see Gold surpass the much-watched $5000 in the short term.

Gold rally run is FAR from over next target $4,845

Most people think it's the end of the year, things will start slowing down.

Ah, no. We generally have the Christmas rally, investors buy from their bonuses, they feel excited for the new year and we still get MAJOR movement to…

Technical Analysis – XAUt Breaks Out of Resistance Zone

Tether Gold is currently pushing through the upper level of the $4221.0 – 4214.6 resistance zone. If Tether Gold closes above $4221.0 at any point intraday, it would be confirmation that bulls are in control. In such a case, Tether Gold could test $4231.6 in the very short term.

On the other hand, if bears regain control and Tether Gold drops through the $4214.6 support level, then a correction to the $4192.1 support could follow. Of these two scenarios, Tether Gold is likely to head higher. This is due to the weakening dollar and the growing institutional demand for Gold.
