After that, it was largely a sideways move with a slight upward drift.
Things are still playing out pretty much as I had expected, and I continue to wait for this to play itself out, and make the pattern apparent.
The Bucket Shop continues to be in a general gold lockdown in the warehouses. The bullion banks Nova Scotia and JPM swapped a little gold amongst their house accounts.
A little silver managed to slip out of the warehouses, and some additional bullion went up into the deliverable (registered) category.
Gold continues to move from West to East. The speculators and gamblers using other people's money continue to increase the leverage on their declining stores of bullion.

There Will Come Soft Rains
By Sara Teasdale
There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground,
And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;
And frogs in the pools singing at night,
And wild plum trees in tremulous white,
Robins will wear their feathery fire
Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;
And not one will know of the war, not one
Will care at last when it is done.
Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree
If mankind perished utterly;
And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn,
Would scarcely know that we were gone.
