Bob Moriarty of 321gold urges caution as the gold bulls revive.
Gold bulls are coming out of hibernation, with even billionaires talking about how much they like gold. That tends to happen just before a correction. The gold bulls get frothy around the mouth; speculators pour money into gold contracts just in time to get whacked once more so they can whine about how gold and silver are manipulated and no one saw it coming.
I've written a number of times about the importance of understanding bullish sentiment. I find the DSI of Jake Bernstein the single most valuable indicator I use. On both Thursday and Friday last, the DSI for gold hit 94. That doesn't suggest a major high marking a top for the next 200 years but it does say caution would be merited. Too many people turned bullish all of a sudden.
The COTs agree. Gold sentiment is excessive.
