Lots of jawboning and speculation about more actions on the part of Japanese banks....Started with a Bloomy survey results....that was 11:30 am our time here and it flushed the shorts out of the Asian markets quick smart....

referring to the above image, the images below clearly show metals may encounter a tawdry pullback
it would be also fair to say we are not at such an extreme that the trade has too many on one side of the boat, yet

relatively speaking we're at the top of a small contract-size peak, having completed one leg up,
probably requiring a leg down (liking 1185's) and then a new high leg to complete the current bounce

here are a cupla images that should invoke thought if youre stuck in emotive logic mode (longside)
by being stretched strong longs become weak longs

this is from a cupla weeks ago with relative positions

looking at the extremes of sentiment rep'd by contract size, it would be fair to say retail is fairly manic already

even tho price had halted the climb from 1046 (front month cfd) you can see
the contract sizes reflects expectation and while (some) commercials
are hedging, managers and retail are (mostly) not:

further look at sentiment as a dichotomy of price..
for gold this tends to imply the easy directional trade is all but done, too
expect more shlop and nasty chops

cycles

interesting occurence is the rotation of the 144 month low to high of the bull phase late 1999 thru 2011

of course this depends on whether you consider the july 1999 $US251 low as THE low or september take-off ($US254 low) as the significant cyclic trigger, as this shifts the rotation of the monthly cycle

but, lets say the 144 cycle (that's the one that effected the XJO too at 6000 level) from the september take-off is valid and is currently still in effect, that offers a smaller rotation within the same cycle (extended)

here are the two cycles
the first 144 month cycle is the original bull phase and the secondary cycle maybe an echo, whatever it is, there is clearly a reason to think the cycle is beyond mere coincidence or maybe causal of the current pullback within the current multi-week bounce

i'm not looking to take any meaningful positions in this supposition, yet, the timing and cyclic outlook are worth reviewing each weekend so as not to get caught in the 30second-bar bias...much :rolleyes:

t's a total shock," said Nader Naeimi, head of dynamic markets at AMP Capital Investors. "From currencies to equities to everything - you can see the reaction in the markets. I can't believe this. It's very disappointing."

Yep 'no more mojo'
