The dollar still isn't much different than it was a month ago. The bet is less on how strong the dollar is than how stable the stock market is going to be in the near future. And apparently people expect a relatively stable stock market.

Either way, this fluctuation doesn't even matter if you hold gold unless you engage in short-term trading. Anyone with a "sit on it" strategy can pretty much ignore such behavior.
