Note that most recently the Goldollar index has bounced off its long-term trend line and now it is marching higher.

However, in the short term there is quite a big divergence between gold and the index (which, generally, go in tandem). Gold has crossed above its strong resistance (the blue circle) while the index is still below a similar resistance level. It looks like a short-term correction or a stall in gold prices is in the making.
