I highly suspect that the outsiders that hear about and see the gold market climbing, then they all barge into our “play ground” on the highs, and on the early dips they all start selling out on losses.
They tend to drive us too high above normal, then drive us down below normal. WE just have to wait until the idiots have nothing left to sell.
They are probably doing the same emotional thing in the semi conductors now. Take a look at SOXL semi bull. That thing will start dropping and I’ll be buying SOXS semi short.
Check out the two high volume bars that often predict a shift or rotation.

I just bought 200 shares, if it goes down 10% or $270 I’ll cash out.

Endless supply of sellers. Way too much like the old days.
How did it end so quickly?
edit: within 60 seconds of posting this we all of a sudden get a quick pop to new highs.
Then it suddenly stops on a dime, shares pop then drift down while both metals do the same. All inside like 20 minutes. This will drive you nuts. I’m living proof.

Hope we can hold on today for a change, we’ve been gasping for air all week.
Silver and the silver shares are a little wobbly.
We could use a break.

Germany intentionally blew up their nuclear power plants, then sanctioned cheap Russian energy.
Now their electricity prices are 2x to 3x more expensive than the USA.
Factories are closing and moving to other countries. Lousy policy has consequences.

German industrial production is now 24% below its (former) long-term trend. The ‘Great Reset’ is destroying the country’s economic strength.

Russia is set to halt the transit of Kazakhstan’s oil supplies to Germany through the Druzhba Pipeline.
Even though Germany stopped buying Russian oil, they still need Russian pipelines to obtain oil from Kazakhstan.
On May 1 (next week) the oil stops. The refinery receiving that oil supplies 90% of the petrol, kerosene and heating fuel for Berlin, its airport and the surrounding region.
The only alternative route is thru Poland, and Poland is using that capacity for it’s own refineries.
With the Persian Gulf blockaded, Germany and other parts of Europe are facing an energy crisis. Russia is putting the squeeze on Europe while supplies are tight.

Another joke of a day for the PM’s. Sorry to say, but it seems that everyone knows that the game is RIGGED, so no one wants to play in this sandbox. The Working Group on Financial Markets has been a resounding success to keep the ponzi scheme going and keeping people enslaved in this Financial Matrix!!

I suppose if tech holds up, it is soaring again and has been all week. Silver has traded with tech occasionally in the past.
The dollar is only down slightly. Same with oil and rates. If they reverse, or any one of them reverses, it will probably sink our ship. We’re not exactly running super-hot at the moment.
Have to wonder how much more of a beating the shares are going to take. The metals are already fading, as are the shares. Complete lockdown.

I suppose it could be MBS, but they would have to had received the information that Trump was going to make the war announcements almost instantaneously from someone near the president who knew the announcements were imminent. The longest time between the trade and announcement was 45 minutes. The size of the trade would also require a compliant trading house to place it that quickly. One of them happened only 14 minutes before.
No doubt it was a big player with pull. MBS would fit the bill.
Whoever it was, was highly connected or actually in the decision-making process. These could not have been random “I think he’s going to say this” type trades. They hit 5 of 5.

but for a while now they have behaved as they should according to classic TA….as seen here….this oil rally may have stopped right on the 50 % retracement level……it could yet see 104 for the 62 % level….

Talks breaking down
Israeli Defense minister Katz states “ready to resume attacks on Iran” says “next attack to be the most devastating to date”
Israel puts hospitals and emergency personnel on war footing
During the current ceasefire the US has flown 816 logistics flights into the gulf region for re-supply vs. 550 prior to the start of the war.
5 refueling craft currently in the air
It appears we are about to hit Iran with the heaviest attack so far.
It’s secondhand info from the Hal Turner show so don’t hold me to it.

Just knowledge that the general public doesn’t have, I guess. $2.1 Billion is a lot of money so it was a big player that knew the announcements were coming, and they knew it very quickly, at most 45 minutes, in one case 14 minutes before the announcement. Someone who was at the decision desk. Just placing those bets in the after-hours in less than 14 minutes is a task.
The fact that the CFTC hasn’t investigated a single incident since the 2012 law was enacted is quite telling.

Newmont (NEM.N) beat Wall Street estimates for first-quarter profit on Thursday, driven by higher bullion prices.
On an adjusted basis, the world’s biggest gold miner earned $2.90 per share for the quarter ended March 31, compared with analysts’ average estimate of $2.18 per share, according to data compiled by LSEG.
We’ll see if this makes any difference at all!
