Gold front futures hit a four week low overnight as Kitco (on blogroll at left) comments:
...Technically, April gold futures prices hit a fresh five-week low overnight. Prices have dropped well below the key 200-day moving average, which comes in at $1,670.00 level.

Bears have the near-term technical advantage.

The gold bulls’ next upside price breakout objective is to produce a close above solid technical resistance at the February high of $1,687.00.
