eh we'll see what happens. If patterns matter, the last 2 large retraces resulted in a 6-10 month consolidations to lead to new highs. So far we're $110 off the high (<10%) and has been a steady retrace. I can imagine the 1030 area will experience heavy resistance, i know i'm a long-term bull and will be playing this resistance area. The bullish sentimet has been pretty mild, no blow off tops or family/friends/cnbc buying gold. I've been telling everyone i know to buy some gold to hedge usd risk and i've been ignored, laughed at and misunderstood.
Biggest driver right now is a nice healthy bounce in a dollar. Those who are bearish on the dollar should be acculmulating as much Gold as they can own without risking the farm.
