The gold market has been denying all logic. Virtually everything which is happening in the global economy suggests that the price should be rising – and probably rising fast, yet it has been unable to move out of a trading range of between around $1680 - $1750 – and every time it nears the top of this range it gets knocked back again. It certainly has made some weak holders pull out of the gold market altogether, while other half believers are beginning to find the call from gold experts that they should use the dips as buying opportunities frustrating to say the least – and they may fall out of the market too.

The Queen of England was recently parading around the Bank of England's gold vaults. A show for the cameras and most likely "MOPE" for the repatriation movements abroad.

Maybe we really are getting close the "rehypothecation day of reckoning" aka the day the paper claim Ponzi collapses.

Gold is just setting up, under consolidation and manipulation. When the day comes that the reality of the physical market is introduced to the paper market, gold is going to blow the doors off.

But not that it matters; that's just the paper price of gold catching up with reality.
