# Gold Aims for $5,000: Reality or Fantasy?
Deutsche Bank has just dropped a bombshell: gold could hit $5,000 per ounce in 2026, breaking that psychological level in 2027. Analyst Michael Hsueh raised his forecast for 2026 from $4,000 to $4,450, and projects $5,150 for 2027.
**What is happening?** Gold is in "historical breakout" mode. Despite falling ~10% since October, it has already recovered half. Volatility in 2025 hit highs not seen since 1980.
The numbers are conclusive:
- Central banks bought 220 tons in Q3 (third highest figure ever recorded)
- Gold ETFs saw net inflows in 2025 after

Tired of leaving your crypto asleep in the wallet? Farming is basically lending your coins in exchange for profits.
You deposit into a liquidity pool → other users borrow or trade with your crypto → you receive rewards (transaction fees + extra tokens).
It's like having a piggy bank that generates money while you sleep. Banks give you 0.5% annually, DeFi offers you 10%, 20%, up to 50% depending on the pool.
**But beware:** The price of your crypto can plummet (impermanent loss), and there is always a risk that the smart contract may

BNB fell below the 1k threshold, Trading Volume 50% Slump
Yesterday, BNB fell from a high of $1,079 to $991, a drop of 7.8%, and is now stuck below $1,000. The trading volume in the last 24 hours plummeted by 17%, and the open positions in futures also declined by 4%, to put it simply, leveraged funds are retreating.
The technical outlook is not very optimistic: the RSI indicator is at 38, and the Bollinger Bands have touched the lower band. The key short-term support is at $980; if it cannot hold, it will test the range of $950-$935.
But don't be too pessimistic – the mid-term fundamental
