Gold price correction: bullion down from a record $5,595\/oz in January 2026 to around $4,100-4,500\/oz now, having tested lows near $3,944-3,958, a decline of nearly 30% at its sharpest point.<\/em><\/p>\n

This gold price correction<\/strong> has become one of the most debated questions in global markets. Bullion touched an all-time high of $5,595 per ounce on January 28, 2026, capping a spectacular rally that saw gold gain 60 percent in 2025 alone, its best annual return since 1979. Since then, the metal has fallen sharply, testing lows near $3,944 to $3,958 an ounce, a decline of nearly 30 percent from the peak at its sharpest point, before stabilising somewhat higher in the $4,100 to $4,500 range more recently.<\/p>\n

The scale and speed of this gold price correction has revived a genuine debate among analysts: is this the start of a structural bear market, similar to the 2022 rate-hike-driven slide that took gold back to $1,618, or is it a sharp but temporary pause within a longer-term structural bull market driven by central bank buying and de-dollarisation trends?<\/p>\n
