Now that gold touched $1,300, here’s what’s next

Gold futures rose above $1,300 per troy ounce Thursday, breaching the round-number level for the first time since early November. And some traders say the precious metal still has a good deal of upside potential left.

"When you look at gold, it's been all about the technicals," said Brian Stutland of the Stutland Volatility Group. "As soon as we broke above $1,275 basically, it's been a straight push to $1,300. I think it continues—I'm looking around that $1,320, $1,340 level where gold could probably trade. The technical are just too strong behind it."

Like many traders, Stutland is watching closely for gold to reach its 200-day moving average, which falls at $1,308.

"I think it's a given that we hit that either today or at least next week here," he said on Thursday's episode of "Futures Now."
