The only way for that to happen is if there is a discovery in a new massive source for the metal, making it not as rare or someone obtains the Philosopher's Stone and transmutates lead into gold.

that is absolutely not the only thing that can change confidence levels in whether a precious metal holds its value

speculation drove its price to insanely high levels throughout the post-2008 period and it is only now reaching parity with its 1972 value

it has done so by losing value

if you bought gold after 2009 and sold it today you would have less money after adjusting for inflation
