Quote from Gold Trader:
gold was just down for a couple of $ and reversed extremely high which is totally unexpected move.
most of bulls would have been killed yesterday.
today, all the bears would be killed.
A compelling example why I want to be neither, beyond a single intraday session, at most.
Look at the carnage that happened 9 months ago in May and June, culminating in a one-day $51 sell-off to an exhaustion low on June 13th. Ever since then, I've treated gold strictly as an intraday, counter-trend trading instrument.
