Gold has recently climbed to test the triple top of $1,150 that has been a big hindrance to the yellow metal even as the USD strengthens up against other major currencies.  Gold needs to break above the $1,160 level to test the all time high and I think that you will see this later on in the year.  Right now the big hurdle is right in its path so watch for the next few days as this market tries to bust through this level.
