The following are futures positions of non-commercials as of October 11, 2016.
Gold: On Friday last week, gold bugs put their foot down while defending $1,240 support on spot gold. That low has not been violated. The metal spent the week trading around the 200-day moving average. Ditto with GLD, the SPDR gold ETF. There is a tug of war going on between bulls and bears around that average. In the past seven sessions, GLD had four dojis and a gravestone doji on Friday. Daily technicals are oversold. The path of least resistance is up – at least near term.
In the week ended Wednesday, GLD gained $455 million, following redemption of $127 million in the past couple of weeks (courtesy of ETF.com).
