“It can’t possible get worse, right?”

Gold got taken apart Tuesday. Then it printed 4378 in the dark and bought every bit of it back. Crude went the other way and made a new August high at 85.42. Both indexes put in fresh week lows overnight and those got bought too. Everything the long bond knocked over on Tuesday stood back up while nobody was watching. I lean long gold while it holds 4422. No strong read on the indexes until ES picks a side of 7718.50. Indicies have had limited moments and opportunities this week. Hopefully we get some acceleration soon. Or they will just keep vol compressed, FOREVER.

Trading the open on NT Live with the boys this am. Tune in.
