Markets are measured in periods not days. Gold, when looking at profits currently on the table for miners, is over bought. Serious buyers of gold are not about to line the pockets of gold miners indiscriminately - there is a world order at play. Serious buyer's buying habits will keep miners lean and mean. That means a regress of gold price to around 1360 where margins are just about reasonable to produce the stuff with a little bit left over of to contribute towards the cost future exploration.
