It has become pretty obvious over the years that Tuesday appears to be the day of choice for gold and silver price takedowns. Often the decline begins on Monday but Tuesday tends to be the most consistent with the largest actual selloff in price. I believe it is the preferred day because Tuesday is the cutoff for the COT reports that come out on Friday afternoons after trading has ended for the week. I don’t know if Tues. was chosen because it is the cutoff day for the reports or if it was chosen to use Tues. as the cutoff day for the reports because that is when they want to sell off the metals and make the reports less likely to reveal important info to the general public. I believe very short term traders could make a pretty good living buying the metals on weakness most Tuesdays and selling 2-3 days later. Perhaps some in the Goldtent community have been doing so? Today looks like it may be presenting such a trading opportunity.
