The COT has turned commercial's topped out the last two weeks at 40% long gold. swap dealers last week had their most bullish stance. July 25 the wise guys added longs and are now 63% long to the commercials at 37%. Contrarians would call this bearish for golds price. Simplistic analysis of commercial/fund is not as important as the swing. sine wave type pattern. The funds always stay too long and commercials sell into the strength. My take last two weeks the commercials got as bullish as they could. Part of their number is of course the Barricks, and suppliers who are doing forward selling/hedging.
The COT looks to have swung with this weeks big 5% rise for the funds they took on a net 31,000 long contracts. I see prices continuing to increase to this weeks target of 1280. staying long
Looking at the Fib entrancement.
