to clarify:
the narrowing of variance is % price movement over time
'a dramatic shift in price movement' from what we have seen since 2001, could be:
1) a flat price (such as a gold standard),
2) an upwards break through the log resistance (probably accompanied by a dramatic collapse of the $),
3) or a dramatic decline in the price of gold (such as following a multi-year peak)
take your pick!, the point is, whatever's coming, it's coming soon enough
