here is a series of graphs that show today's blow by blow action in gold trading. a bad employment number came out, whose implications were no chance of fed tightening or fighting inflation. gold should have soared. it tried to, but the gold cartel drove it back down. but today's news was so bad that buying overwhlemed the efforts at price-capping, and god jumped again. but when it rose more than 2% on the day, it had to be driven back down to that magic number again.

one picture is worth a thousand words:
