remember last week the commercial net short on gold was still
52K, the low in July was 18K, so it could still fall quite a bit,
though I'm sure it's fallen a lot this week, we won't know until
Friday and even then, the data is 3 days delayed and only includes
until Tuesday, it won't show the effect of gold down on Wed, and
Thur
actually the commercial net short was 28K last week, I'm sure
it's dipped way down, the 52K was from the previous week.
However here's an interesting point that I've mentioned probably
a year ago: what happens when it goes negative and flips?
I've stated this before, I've checked the COT data before the
2001 bottom and it was flipped - my point is, that could be
confirmation of a bear market - as the commercial net short was not
'net short' during the last gold bear market but net positve
fyi, McClellan's weekly missive is about GOLD COT data. looking
for a bounce akin to back in June 2013 when COT data was at
similiar levels.
"...One of the big fears that is voiced about gold is that the
presumptive end to QE will be bad for gold prices because the Fed
will stop printing excess money. But what those voices seem to
forget is that QE has not been all that helpful to gold over the
past couple of years. Gold topped at $1900/oz in 2011 when the
Fed's balance sheet was smaller than it is today, and that increase
in the balance sheet since then has not stopped gold from falling.
So if the end of QE is really a bad factor for gold, then why was
the continuation of QE since 2011 not helpful for gold?..."
Have to chime in here as I have been burned so many times
looking at fundamental data to make a prognostication about the
future. Its a fools game. Cot or no cot the chart is ugly and until
it changes. A break below 1200 on gold should trigger large sell
orders. The miners should follow suit.
remember last week the commercial
GDX my scenario will be one more flush down as soon as tomorrow with big job number. Commercials are ready and we are close to oversold on daily chart. Good luck to all.
