Quote from Pension_Admin:
That is an interesting assumption. With the recent "glitch" in gold caused by Dubai, I am sure the smart money got out and are sitting on the sideline right now. There is no way these billion dollar hedge funds are going to buy gold given how it reacted to the catalyst. With Dubai and other European countries in potential trouble, reserves have to be reduced to prepare for bigger problems as they uncover all the cards. Given the high price of gold, I can see central banks selling gold, or at least stop from buying them.
If $1,000 became the support, then we will have to see if the saying "resistance and support are meant to be broken." is true.
