Countering that we have tapering causing a potential drop in equities supporting the fear trade = gold up If the Fed tapers (as opposed to raising rates) and lets Inflation run hot (which it appears to be) = gold up (as real rates go further negative) pretty sure you already know all of that

A lot of 'experts' and goldbugs right here on the gold forum don't believe tapering and higher interest rates are going to happen, so when it does, it could be quite a shock for them. And send gold miners tanking.
