I was just drawing a parallel to the Sept '07/March '08 move as it paused 1/2 way. An equal pause this time around would be in that range but gold's most recent rise came after an 18 month long inverse head and shoulders set up and the neckline resistance which was in the 1000$ range could now get retested to form support.
