usually it does, but not always and many times - again the way correlations work, you will have a correlation for a long period of time, then it suddenly stops for awhile. I can see plenty of examples in the past where gold went up for long periods of time with the Dollar going up. Also, during a correlation, many times a divergence occurs at the end where gold will tend to anticipate what the Dollar is going to do; if it thinks the Dollar is nearing a top it may start to rally 1 or 2 months early before the Dollar really tops out, or the opposite gold has been rallying while the Dollar been selling off for long period of time, gold may top first and start selling off much earlier before the Dollar bottoms
