Gold made an all time high, an astounding accomplishment for one of the world's oldest assets. It briefly broke above $2081, hitting a high of $2146. It was immediately smacked back down, not only below the all time high, but back into the trading range below $2075.
Gold bulls do NOT want to see another sweep of the highs with a long wick. They want to see continuation and a weekly close above the previous all time high.
Many analysts believe that gold is heading quickly to $3000 if it can hold above the highs... and that this would be the harbinger of bad economic times.
