The invisible hand of the marketsshowed once again why we call them “they.” We have all heard the expression --they pushed the markets, they are buying -- and Thursday at about 12:25 p.m.EST when gold hit $1,303, they decided that was low enough and gold took offfrom our level of support and rallied $20 from the bottom.
It was like magic. There was noannouncement. They just decided to buy and buy like crazy. The rally was shortquick and powerful, causing a short squeeze, also attracting some new money.This is a common event, especially when they get too big on one side of themarket or the other and the market goes ballistic -- in Thursday’s case up.
The rally was not more than ashort-squeeze, dead-cat bounce from oversold conditions. Our lower target washit, but the sharp rally indicates there is more room on the downside and themarket may now break through $1,300 on the downside. Sharp moves like thatusually fail and suggest the bottom is not in yet.
Keep those stops tight.
