So we can expect the dark side of the force to try their worst to hammer both Au and Ag. The COTs total OI across all dates is taking on a very strange charicteristic in gold. There is a HUGE new block of calls out at $1,900. I wonder if this is spec's anticipating a huge rise in price next year, or could it be the bullion banks buying long contracts to ballance their massive short position? Who ever is buying these calls, there is a very unusual and suspicious lack of puts over $1,000.

In the past a large call OI above current price and a lack of put OI well just below (say 15%) was a sure sign of an orchestrated hit on the price in the next OE. But as we have seen recently, the game is changing. This could be good news and an iiindicator of a great 6 month run comming, or it could be an indicator of a massive desperate last manipulative blow to the gold market at some time in teh next few months.
