While gold is riding high, assets in Gold ETFs are snoozing

While gold $Gold - main 2406(GCmain)$ is riding high, assets in Gold ETFs are snoozing -- retail investors ain't buying it (central banks are though!). Thoughts:

When I last checked, the gold price (in US$) was making new all-time highs and apparently in the process of making the big breakout that everyone (in gold land at least) has been waiting for.

And assets in gold ETFs?

About -30% off their all-time high in 2020.

Skepticism. Doubt. Apathy.

Also, chartists will note that it looks to be coiling into a symmetrical triangle pattern. If the breakout in price holds and sees follow-through it could trigger a breakout in gold ETF assets — aka bandwagoning.

By my analysis, a few things still need to go right for gold, but it sure is interesting to see price breaking out while investor sentiment/positioning/flows are still seemingly snoozing and skeptical.
