Gold investors (like myself) assume that The Fed can only stimulate further in order to stave off deflation...but (crucially) with no hope of raising rates later, even in the face of the inevitable resulting inflation.
A rise in rates would simply crater everyone who has come along with The Fed so far - virtually all consumers and corporations holding high levels of debt. In such an environment of obvious inflation and Fed paralysis, gold could go much, much higher.
