Perhaps he is referring to all the bank Holidays----------

Thinking Gold wants to close this Gap.


I have a few small gaps and then the one from Sunday open.

I am setting orders for 1504 appx
Left one gap trade on. I had 2 open positions from around 1504 I left on and traded the Gap. They were closed this morning.

My spreads are not yet back to normal

I am looking at appx a $1.10 for Gold - it should be 50 cents.

This has directly to do with London being closed.

Good, so you know that the bulk of precious metals trading takes place in London (Closed). Does this tell you something about volume?

Here are my gaps.

Some brokers may be different.

Beeb, if you are there would you mind posting the large contract GC chart 1 Hour TF please. I want to compare the futures to spot.
THX!

PS the top TL is the top of a channel I pulled - actually a FORK.

notice how the price has been bobbing around the top

When asked at what price the Chinese will stop buying silver the London source replied, “The Chinese want out of dollars and they will continue aggressively purchasing both gold and silver in order to diversify. They don’t care whether silver is $50, $60 or $100, they will just continue accumulating. The Chinese may be patient buyers, accumulating on weakness, but you can bet that their relentless purchases of physical silver will eventually push the price well over $100 an ounce.”


hmm, interesting source. I am seeing pump stuff like this everywhere now. Well I have been seeing it for 2 months but now it is just nuts the amount of material that is bringing in more buyers.

The recent PA has formed somewhat of a TL even with the Gaps.

Thus I may take 1507. I'd like a lower price for entry but wont nitpick.

core positions still in play.

Today is still a bit odd of a day to trade with all of EUROzone and UK closed.

trade light.

i'm very wary of low volume days and we still have a number ahead of us through the month end......Today, Friday and next Monday are all London Bank Holidays.
I appreciate many here are North American based but it is important to recognise that the precious metals markets are not US-centric ie what happens elsewhere is important......

Thanks.
When your platform and broker stop quoting this does not mean the market stops.
Trading still continues albeit at a much lower level.
When the "market" reopens the price has moved from where it was when your platform and broker was quoting.
So there is a gap.

If the opening price is higher for example than at the close, price will often move downwards to close this gap.
Not all gaps are closed but they usually are.
