Gold futures took a break this past week from their recent declines and broke back into their longer rising trend line and through the Jan. 28 low at 1,073.95 to close the week higher at 1,093.30.

Gold futures still retain their broader downside bias, but the immediate risk is higher, and futures could target the Feb. 3 high at 1,125.00. A cap is expected there, which would turn the commodity back down again.
However, if that level breaks, we could see more momentum build toward the Jan. 20 high at 1,141.48.
On the downside, the 1,093.95/1,093.30 levels, representing the Jan. 28 low/trend line support, will come in as the initial support. A cut through there would leave the commodity to target its 2010 low at 1,044.20. A clean break below there would resume the short-term downtrend toward the 1,030.85/1,026.55 levels, the March 2008 high/Oct. 28 low, and then the 986.67 level, the October 2009 low.
On the whole, although gold still retains its broader weakness, the correction of its declines from 1,266.00 to 1,044.20 has been triggered, suggesting further upside risks.
