LONDON, Feb 6 (Reuters) - Gold rose above $650 an ounce on Tuesday on firmer oil and a slightly weaker dollar, and analysts said it could jump if it holds onto recent gains a bit longer.
Gold broke the $650-an-ounce mark several times last week but profit-taking pushed down prices, which have risen about nine percent since Jan. 5 when it fell to a two-month low.
Spot gold was quoted at $653.40/654.10 an ounce by 1052 GMT, higher than $649.00/649.70 late in New York on Monday, when it rose about $2 on renewed buying interest from funds.
"The market has been able to consolidate around $650 which should be a solid base. The general positive feeling for commodities over the last couple of days and the ongoing dollar weakness are very supportive for gold," Frederic Panizzutti, Germany-based analyst at MKS Finance, said.
"We will not be surprised if further inflow of fresh investment into gold happens over the coming few days. The longer we can hold the $650, the stronger the base will be."

i still have a small interest.mick2006 said:certainly has been sleeping the last couple of days, which is quite interesting seeing the west african drill results are due sometime this week. Just noticed that someone just took a large chunk so maybe we are getting a little closer to the announcement.
Who out there is still holding this one?
mick2006 said:Also the chart is looking quite good over the last month or so with some decent volume on the up days.

Isn't 30c an important level on the charts?
ie isn't it good if BYR can HOLD ABOVE AND CONSOLIDATE 30C Prior to Ann coming out Re Gold Project?
