The post says
BofA gold forecast down to $3,250 per ounce?
Bank of America did note a $3,250 technical support zone in a bearish scenario, but its main forecast sees gold averaging $4,000 in late 2026 and reaching $5,000 in 2027. The Reel highlights a lower-bound technical support zone from a Bank of America note while presenting it as the bank's general forecast. Reports from Reuters and Kitco confirm that BofA's baseline forecast expects gold to average $4,000 in the fourth quarter of 2026 before rising toward $5,000 per ounce in 2027. Presenting an extreme downside technical level without the bank's core price target omits key context.
