BNN (Business News Network) said there is an investigation of a possible "computer error" at a major bank with regard to rolling over options. The tendency of the markets is to sell the rumour and buy the fact, so if this was caused by an "error" expect an equally quick (and equally unpredictable) reversal which will coincidentally pay off tremendously for the bank in question as "errors" like this always do.
Don't seem to me like an "computer error"...if its true, it will be rectified by now.

Markets are falling across the board so gold could very well keep falling if this fall turns into a crash. There is always significant risk when trading which is why I recommend being overly cautious. It is better to miss an opportunity to make profit than lose money.

That said, it is very rare (possibly unprecedented) for gold to be lower in December than it was in November, so barring a market crash I think the rising trendline will hold as support.
interesting about price in november and december....

And from TF:

"This is all just manipulative bull####. The likely cause of the drop was the deliberate and manipulative unwinding of a Dec position, probably a spread trade. The manipulator takes the long side off all at once and then looks to cover the short side at a later time after price has been driven $20+ lower. In this case, the manipulator gets the added benefit of the momo-HFTs chasing price lower because of the breach of the 50-DMA. Now down $30, the manipulator can begin to cover the short side for considerably less money than it would have cost if he had done the whole thing instantaneously."

There was an actual computer error in September which took a full eight hours to rectify, but this kind of "error", if that's what it was, won't be fixed until, coincidentally, gold falls to a predetermined price. Regardless, all we can do is be as prepared as possible for movement in either direction and act accordingly.

I've been out of gold since $1745. I cancelled my $1735 buy order to put my money elsewhere thinking it would sit there until at least the end of the week before going back up, so I got lucky there; but this swing in currencies has taken out nearly all the profits that I made not holding gold so I'm standing aside (except for a long in CAD/JPY and EUR/JPY with a stop at break-even) until this nonsense resolves itself.

I think I should have exited everything when my near-term Forex RSI lines were broken and gone with Beebs chart and bought gold at $1705.

Jeez - please don't just trust my charts - they work for me but they may not work for you.....

That chart was one of a number that I am running - and a confluence of factors gave a good entry which is now stopped above b/e in case of any more shennanigans......

I certainly would not normally advise bottom fishing after a single bar drop like that. Green circles show reactions to the plotted blue line, top purple line is entry and bottom purple line is original stop....

I've got the same parallels on my chart but I've been focussing more on RSI lately with very good success; however, worrying about another $10 drop in gold after a drop of $40 from where I got out just seems more greedy than cautious at this point. If gold tops $1720 I think it will keep climbing rather than return to $1706, so instead of gaining another $10 for my entry point waiting for $1696 I'll have given up $15 ...not my best move to be sure.

Edit: Also, I should have paid more attention to silver which clearly has no intention of falling.

At least I'm making half of that back in my long vs Yen positions if gold does continue higher.

this man says this ...that man says that ... whose guess is right ? sigh !


If the Fed continues its massively accommodative monetary policy, gold prices conceivably could move higher. But I think that would require some evidence that inflation is picking up, and that evidence is still lacking. In my view, gold is essentially priced to a significant increase in inflation already. The premium that investors are willing to pay for gold today (defined as the amount by which today's price exceeds the average historical real price) is almost as much as it was in early 1980, when inflation had already attained double-digit levels.

By this same logic, if the Fed were to even suggest that it is contemplating a reversal of its quantitative easing (which could be accomplished by raising the rate it pays on reserves, or by draining reserves), then gold would be quite vulnerable to losses. Gold today is a very expensive inflation hedge.

But don't you think Gold is making up for yesterday's big drop? Also the fiscal cliff continues to haunt the US. i do think there is some steam still left, well until early December.
