The market did not hold at $600 on Friday and that reinforced the overdone view. It advanced on not much, and declined on not much, and that, combined with weak oil prices, left gold at the lower end of a recent rang. Once the $590 level was broken then it would head right to $580. It was a sell-the-rally environment. The market looks like it has headed downward, now that strong demand in September and part of October out of India and the Middle East has sagged.
