GLD price data shows highest close during period was $481.31 on March 10, 2026. GLD tracks gold but is an ETF share price, not spot gold per ounce. However, GLD peaked early in March then declined significantly - current price $431.81 down from highs. No evidence found of spot gold reaching $2,200/oz. Actual peak: $481.31 (GLD), Required: $2,200/oz (spot gold), insufficient data for proper spot gold comparison but GLD trend shows gold declined rather than reaching new highs.
