Gold Daily Chart - Cup and Handle Formation


Remarkable action today as the wiseguys 'ran the stops' down to 1285, the top of the support from the cup and handle breakout, on the new holders of October futures contracts from the holders of in-the-money calls in yesterday's options expiration.

The bears 'got stuffed' badly as their raid met heavy physical buying and strong hands who held their positions in the futures markets. The raid fizzled, and turned sharply around with gold running almost the entire range of the trend channel, finishing at yet another new high.
