Don't forget that McAvity was calling for $2800 about 2 decades ago.

Hi, 49r. Yes, I remember the last $400+ move, and that area does appear key. Official intervention was almost taken for granted after so many unsuccessful attempts to move through that level. I also seem to remember the BIS being quoted more recently as saying that a true gold bull will take no prisoners, referring to official bailouts, off market covering, etc. Been wondering if the NY Federal Reserve Bank's Mr. McDonough is attempting to meddle in the gold market as we speak and break ranks with the BIS. And Europeans?

Cheers,
