Not much happened last week in Sentiment although the market did its usual volatile swing. Following through with new highs the technicals are getting Bullish - I usually use 3 closes above previous highs/Resistance, so we're not ready to jump in with both feet.
Insider selling has abated, mutual fund flows show a return to MMFs (money markets), but commercial future traders in Gold still show large selling, although word is China is buying Gold.
