I'm in that same line of thinking. The gold bulls are really fighting this year. Last year they gave up without a fight. The dollar had only modest moves higher. The next Fed meeting will be the tell all. I want to see their outlook for next year before I make my next long play. At least I have a general idea now of how high the dollar has to go to push gold down the stairs.
I'm watching the patterns in gold right now. I'm going to do some flipping since my wife will be home on Monday and Tuesday. She'll watch the kids while I flip this like I'm on the hamburger line at McDonalds.
