With 102.06 minor resistance intact, pull back from 103.74 might continue further, towards 100% projection of 103.74 to 97.70 from 102.06 at 96.02 and below. However, we'd expect strong support from 92.52 cluster support (38.2% retracement of 74.95 to 103.74 at 92.74) to contain downside and bring rebound. On the upside, above 102.06 will bring retest of 103.74 resistance.

The strong break of 2.584 resistance indicates that a short term bottom is formed at 2.231. Intraday bias is mildly on the upside for further rebound, possibly towards 55 days EMA (now at 3.092). But after all, upside is expected to be limited by 3.12 cluster resistance (61.8% retracement of 3.689 to 2.231 at 3.132 and bring fall resumption. Below 2.594 minor support will flip bias back to the downside for retesting 2.231 low first.

After a dip to 1649.2, gold rebounded sharply and settled at 1700.1, up +2.17%. The consecutive weekly gains over the past week suggest that the correction from 1923.7 in early September has probably ended at 1523.9 in December. A deliberate break above 1750 would give more evidence on the resumption, and likely the last leg, of the long-term uptrend. Gold's surge yesterday and the strength today have been driven by the dovish January FOMC statement.

Gold's upside momentum as a bit unconvincing as it spent last week struggling around 1650 level. Nonetheless, with 1605.7 support intact, the near term bullish outlook remains unchanged. That is , fall from 1804.4 should have completed at 1523.9 already. Whole fall from 1923.7 might be finished too. Further rise is expected to 1767.1 resistance. Break will affirm this case and target 18044 and above. However, break of 1605.7 will dampen this bullish view and flip bias back to the downside for another low below 1523.9 instead.

Silver rose further to as high as 32.21 last week as rebounded from 26.145 extended. Initial bias remains on the upside this week for further rally. As note before, whole decline from 35.60 is finished after drawing support from 26.15. Current rise should target 33.74 next and break will put 35.60 key resistance in to focus. On the downside, below 30.28 is needed to indicate completion of such rebound or near term outlook will now remain cautiously bullish.
