Without the dollar falling, IMO, the gold price rise is more traders doing what they do best. Banks are still failing but that doesn't seem to be a huge factor on the dollar at present. Treasuries are holding steady. Stock market isn't collapsing. CPI is falling (yes I realize this isn't an indicator of inflation). And as you point out, the dollar index is holding steady in the 78 range. Until that breaks down, I'd view the current rise as just the boys playing with the yellow metal.
I always keep in mind that gold "should" be priced higher based on all that has transpired and especially with increasing current deficit projections (let alone Fannie, Freddie, ING etc. needing more than expected).
Of course I believe in the medium term dollar decline pattern to continue and gold pattern to end with its 9th straight calendar year rise in price, but this current run is rather suspicious.
The dollar index breaking below 72 will be the tipping point.

Why Investing in Gold Coins Now Will Help You Retire Secure [View instapost]
No offense to Mike Will and his company, but investing in "higher grade coins" carries much risk because you not only have to wait for the coins to go higher, you also have to make up the exorbitant commissions that you paid to get into the coins. The coins will go higher because of the gold content, but there's much more you need to know before you invest.
Don't buy gold coins till you read this book! safelybuygold.com - unbiased research from an insider.
Many gold dealers are out to rip you off. I know, I worked for one. You'd be surprised at how much money these sellers of gold make off of unsuspecting investors.
Learn their secrets to taking advantage of those who know nothing about coins by reading "Safely Buy Gold," the book that walks you through gold purchases the safe way.
The reason most know nothing about gold is the U.S. government doesn't want competition to the U.S. dollar. This is the ignorance that gold dealers take advantage of.
Don't fall for their tricks. Educate yourself first.
Disclosure: I don't sell gold. I just write about it.
The book will tell you which coins to buy, where to buy, and give advice on when to sell as well as tax strategies.

Gold is not going down. It's been going up for 8 straight calendar years.
