<<seem to have a change in tactics - I just wonder what that means>> Maybe it means something nasty is about to happen and they need the extra cushion to keep from breaking down technically.
agree with your perspective. today was very much like july 23- 24. back then they crashed gold $11, cranked the dollar and bought the snp futures. today they did much the same but unlike the 23 and 24, it did not feel like we were on the edge of a cliff. why today?
