Gold may target a record $1,250 an ounce as a continuation head-and-shoulders pattern may be forming within a longer-term trend, Standard Bank Group Ltd. said, citing trading patterns. A break and close above $1,050.40 “provides warning that an important breakout” has occurred, Darran Grabham, the bank’s technical analyst, wrote in a note yesterday. A head-and- shoulders pattern is formed when a commodity makes three consecutive peaks, with the middle being the highest. It forms during a series of increases over time. “The positive implications are substantial, with the minimum objective situated at US$1,250,” Grabham wrote. “On the downside, gold weakness through $864 turns the outlook bearish, and the weaker trend could then continue towards US$802.”
