After plunging first through $1,500 per ounce and then $1,400 per ounce, gold seems to have not only reversed, but begun to trend higher, rising seven of the eight trading days since the two-day slide. Helping the rise in prices has been increased demand for physical gold by both individuals and central banks. Further aiding the recovery is that many of the short-term forces that were weighing on gold prices have either been resolved or removed. Still, you must wonder if gold prices are getting an extended dead-cat bounce before falling lower, or if a new trend is being established.

After falling through a critical support level at $1,500, gold wasted no time dropping all the way through the next century mark at $1,400. So severe was the fall that Goldman Sachs quickly advised its customers to avoid the precious metal, pointing out that cash outflows were likely to take the commodity lower. With the investment bank's price target for gold at $1,545 for 2013, however, current prices make the metal look cheap, at least as a near-term proposition. That said, it has set its 2014 price target at $1,350, so the longer-term outlook is not great.
