Simple Moving Average (25-Day): Recent activity this morning has seen prices trade above this moving average. Also, the slope of the moving average is in an upward slope from the previous session indicating further strength. As a result the 25-Day simple moving average has a strong bullish bias.
Simple Moving Average (50-Day): Recent activity this morning has seen prices trade above this moving average. Also, the slope of the moving average is in an upward slope from the previous session indicating further strength. As a result the 50-Day simple moving average has a strong bullish bias.
ADX: The Average Directional Change (ADX) indicates the strength of a markets underlying trend. A rising ADX is interpreted as building trend strength, while a falling ADX indicates weakness in the underlying trend and the potential of a market reversal. On this market, the 14-Day ADX is rising, while the long term trend, based on a 50-Day moving average, is up. As the ADX is rising it indicates that the current trend is strong and should remain intact. Look for the current trend to continue.
MOMENTUM INDICATORS:
MACD: The MACD is in bullish territory. However, the market just signaled a bearish key reversal off a 10-Day new high, indicating potential weakness to come.
RSI: The 14-Day RSI is in neutral territory. (RSI is at 66.83). This indicator issues bullish signals when the RSI line dips below the oversold zone (currently set at 20.00); a bearish signal is generated when the RSI rises into the overbought zone (currently set at 80.00). Nevertheless with the RSI at 66.83 the market is somewhat overbought suggesting a possible market decline. Further, a bearish key reversal off a 10-Day new high here makes a downturn in the market even more likely
VOLATILITY INDICATORS:
Bollinger Bands (20-Day Average +/-1 Standard Deviation): As prices are closer to the bottom band than the top band, the Bollinger Bands are indicating overbought prices. Volatility also appears to be increasing, as evidenced by a larger distance between the upper and lower bands over the past few sessions. Despite this overbought condition the market may become more overbought before turning lower. As a result, the market will look for additional weakening in prices before turning bearish on this indicator.

OUT LOOK
February gold closed lower on Friday as it consolidated some of this week's rally but remains above resistance marked by
November's high crossing at 855.00. The mid-range close sets the stage for a steady opening on Monday. Stochastics and the
RSI are overbought but are neutral signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near-term. If February extends this
month's rally, weekly resistance crossing at 874.00 is the next upside target. Closes below the 10-day moving average crossing
at 836.90 would signal that a double top with November's high has been posted. First resistance is Thursday's high crossing at
872.90 then weekly resistance crossing at 874.00. First support is the 10-day moving average crossing at 836.90 then the 20-
day moving average crossing at 822.00.
March silver closed lower on Friday and as it consolidated some of this week's rally. The mid-range close sets the stage for a
steady opening on Monday. Stochastics and the RSI are overbought but remains neutral to bullish signaling that sideways to
higher prices are possible near-term. If March extends this week's rally, the 75% retracement level of the November-December
decline crossing at 15.768 is the next upside target. Closes below the 20-day moving average crossing at 14.669 would confirm
that a short-term top has been posted. First resistance is today's high crossing at 15.570 then the 75% retracement level crossing
at 15.768. First support is the 10-day moving average crossing at 14.914 then the 20-day moving average crossing at 14.669.
February crude oil closed lower on Friday due to profit taking as it consolidates below psychological resistance crossing at $100
per barrel. The low-range close sets the stage for a steady to lower opening on Monday. Stochastics and the RSI are overbought
but are neutral signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible. If February extends this week's rally above November's
high crossing at 98.12, upside targets will be hard to project now that February is trading into uncharted territory. Closes below
the 20-day moving average crossing at 93.28 would temper the near-term friendly outlook in the market. First resistance is
Thursday's high crossing at 100.09. First support is broken resistance marked by November's high crossing at 98.12. Second
support is the 10-day moving average crossing at 95.92.

energy
Crude oil prices declined for the second consecutive session as weak economic data raised concerns that energy demand from the largest economy might shrink. Weakness in dollar however lent some support to the falling crude oil prices. Crude for February delivery closed down $1.27 at $97.91 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange after the payrolls report spurred worries about the oil demand.
According to U.S. government report the unemployment rate shot up to 5% in December. Further, on a seasonally adjusted basis, nonfarm payrolls rose by 18,000 last month, the weakest job growth since August 2003. Economists were expecting payrolls to increase about 70,000 in December.
Dollar plunged further on the last trading day of the week as dismal payrolls data raised expectations of interest rate cut Fed. The dollar index fell 0.1% to 75.785.
Meanwhile, the EIA reported natural-gas inventories in the U.S. fell by 87 billion cubic feet in the week ended December 28. U.S. natural gas has fallen 620 billion cubic feet since the week ending Nov. 16.
The crude oil market is concerned about continuous decline in US crude oil stocks. The current commercial stocks can support about one and a half months of U.S. petroleum consumption, which is a quite low level.

Copper prices though washed entire day’s gains as profit taking crept in and the US economic concerns rose once again from weaker than expected jobs data and rise in unemployment rate.

· As per government reports, US unemployment rate stood at 5%, the highest in two years. In December the number of jobs added were a meager 18,000 as against a forecast of 70,000.
· Copper continued to trade better during the early trading hours following repots of a strike in Chambishi Copper smelter in Zambia. The smelter workers, around 500 in number, went on a strike for better pay and work conditions.
· The prices also obtained support from declines in SHFE weekly copper inventories and dollars weakness.
