Looks more bullish than last week. Not really a timing tool but it would be time to be careful with any shorts here. Here are two versions of the Gold COT. First has the traditional Commercial, Large and Small Spec date while the second has the more detailed “disaggregated” report that breaks down the commercials and large specs in finer detail.

The second report shows that the Swap dealers have increased their longs.
