The Cartel boys have many rules but the number one rule for a very long time and most consistantly deployed is that gold is never allowed to do much in JOBS WEEK. No matter how bullish for gold or how bearish for the dollar/economy and DOW they never let gold loose until Thursday at the earliest and normally it's after the actual jobs report is released. This is why I was pleasantly surprised at yesterday's move but of course they are taking care of this faux pas today.
