``What I take away from this as a student of the markets and of the chart patterns is that FEAR and CONCERN is rising. This fear is being reflected in the price action in gold. There seems to be a growing consensus that the problems affecting the economies of many nations of the West are too complex, too deep-rooted, too structural and too ingrained to prevent any short-term, transitory fix.''
