After the gold price hit $4,380 an ounce, a record, on October 20th, it fell by more than 10%-only to recover some of its losses. AP

Bullish investors win when they convince others of their story for why the price is rising, which boils down to why, this time, strong hands outnumber weak ones. Their bluff is called when the market softens. If the price does not rebound, their story collapses. If it does, it gains credence.
