beeb when you have a chance, in reference to a statement you made the other day about "metals trading being more difficult and there is more to know" loosely quoted. Would you mind making a post on this topic?
.
Two words XTrade - "managed markets"

FWIW it would probably be better for those interested to do their own investigating as there is so much angst and so forth thrown up by such a concept...

My broker gave me trading levels on long position to target 1622+, it reached but I still don't know why!

Probably option gaming. But you won't seeing any mention of manipulation because the move was up, not down.

And as we know manipulation can only be one way.

Might also have to do with inflation fears with USDA cutting forecast again for corn crop.

I meant I did not get the reason why gold went up.

And because the broker I am using, sends trading signals every day and yesterday one was to take long position on gold with target of 1622+, I'm guessing there was a reason most probably technical behind it.

thats nice live image
This was a nice bullish close with minimal pullback, lets see if next week she can take 25 then 1636 very important to stay above 1636.

For next week

Don't think that , that was the only reason for a rise, some are technical, some are just sheer order flow...


There are usually various reasons. Some not always visible to the plain eye without some good old fashioned web browsing /digging & reading reports...

Hey what do you know, Friday's volume wasn't like Thursday's - a multi-month low amount.

It was actually the highest for the week, but if you exclude the Mon-Thu period it would have been one of the lowest volume figures for the last few months.

So what did it accomplish. Get us right back to longterm resistance which I will be watching to see if any "good" volume comes in if it breaks this resistance. Otherwise I expect it won't sustain move higher.

SunTrader,

Even the most bullish of bulls know that the whole game is rigged.

I will agree with you that the move up was manipulation. Just like every move down. We know that essentially every price move is connected to underlying manipulation with technical and fundamental justifications coming after the fact (sometimes relevant, sometimes bollocks).

But the nominal cost of gold relative to money supply and the number of new investors who rightfully see the need to protect their wealth by buying a bit of precious metal should eventually see the price continue its march upward.

Would love to have some respectful debate on this issue with someone new. Are price moves anything more than manipulation?

We know that at the heart of the global financial system (Libor), traders were able to ask for whatever rate they wanted. If interest rates are one big scam, how would we expect commodities like gold to be any different?

Prime example of why I stopped replying to your posts - and will once again.

I am a trader, not a "truth-seeker".

I look at price and volume and related markets.

You can have the rest.

BTW why did you quote my message if you are looking for a respectful debate with someone new? Actually don't bother.

Come back when price is higher so you can tell how right you are. I look to be profitable, not necessarily right. And if I haven't made it plain to you by now I could care less what moves a market up or down - just that it moves.

Oh goodness - I just said someone new because I usually irritate you.

Above is the case and point and certainly is no aberration from most interactions I have with you.

You said that people who talk about manipulation on this thread focus on downside moves and ignore the opposite. This may be the case or more a matter of the fact that sell-offs with, major funds selling a couple hours before the price drop, are a little easier to point out as dubious.

I enjoy your perspective. Clearly you don't appreciate mine, but being right can also be profitable. Ask Steve Eisman...

Again - would love to hear your take, just was inviting others to have their say.

Why do you think it was upward manipulation of the price? What are your reasons for making this assertion?

We are in a wedge formation so being ready for a momentum break out ... Supply in yellow is almost entire consumed but demand is still left so probably break would be of upside specially considering we are in a down trend for a long time now ....

I think that from time to time the number of buyers and sellers are not perfectly balanced. This moves the market. That is more than enough for me and I see no point in entertaining the manipulation hypothosis for either up or down.
Kill the ego, or it will kill the mission.
