This is commentary from that post rather than a confirmed price target, and CoinGabbar could not independently verify the underlying central bank buying figures cited.
Still, the sentiment lines up with PAXG's own chart structure, which shows $5,000.57 as a marked resistance level not far from the current price.
PAXG's futures liquidation data from Coinglass shows a long-heavy picture building across the board. In the last hour, $31.23K in longs were liquidated against none on the short side.

Over 4 hours, long liquidations reached $31.54K versus just $601.57 in shorts.
The 12-hour window shows $46.09K in long liquidations against $32.93K in shorts, and over the full 24 hours, longs totaled $73.73K against $121.59K in shorts, the only window where shorts took the larger hit.
On the exchange side, Binance dominates futures volume at $114.79M, followed by WhiteBIT at $48.88M.
Bitget follows at $6.97M and Bybit at $8.31M, with Gate, Bitunix, and KuCoin rounding out smaller shares.
This is futures volume from Coinglass and separate from the spot volume figure in the market overview above.

PAXG price target 2026 Bull case: Holding above $4,588.29 keeps the broader uptrend intact.
A confirmed daily close above $4,756.86 would open the path toward $4,870.33, and continued macro demand for $gold-backed assets could support a push toward the $5,000.57 level.
PAXG price target 2026 Bear case: A rejection near $4,756.86 combined with the approaching overbought RSI raises the odds of a deeper pullback.
Losing $4,588.29 would put the recent rally in question, and a break below $4,529.78 would signal a more meaningful correction.

$5,000.57 is the highest resistance marked on the current chart.
Reaching it would require PAXG to first clear $4,756.86, then hold above $4,870.33 on strong volume, a multi-stage move rather than a single push, though ongoing central bank demand for $gold could support that path.
According to CoinGabbar analysts, the mixed liquidation picture, with longs taking the bigger hit in shorter windows but shorts absorbing more over 24 hours, suggests this pullback is more of a two-way fight than a one-sided move.
$4,588.29 is the level that decides whether this stays a healthy pause or turns into something deeper.
With RSI still elevated and the $5,000 macro narrative gaining traction, the path of least resistance still leans higher into September as long as that support holds.
