I've seen that happen a few times the last couple weeks. A big jump early in the morning, followed by a decline in the afternoon when the market closes.

A bit of a lull, then a rise when Asia opens. Then another big jump in the morning when Europe/Wall Street come back online.

Yep, and my guess is that tomorrow being Friday, many of the heavy hitters don't want to be long over the weekend. Gold and silver should back off a bit tomorrow and then it's back to the races Monday, esp. Tuesday.
