What will happen to gold next week?

If it stays above 5,000 in the short term, a rise toward 5,100-5,150 is expected; if it falls below, a correction to 4,950 is anticipated.
Geopolitical tensions and inflation data are the main factors.
Next week, from February 16-22, 2026, I expect volatility in gold prices, but the overall trend appears to be upward.
Recently, prices have maintained the psychological support of $5,000, and if CPI data and interest rate cut expectations increase, upward momentum could accelerate.
Predictions suggest prices could rise to $5,250, but there is a short-term correction risk, for example, testing $4,800.
