To demonstrate how the aforementioned anomalies are in fact Cartel footprints, long-utilized strategies that best suit their purpose of CONTROLLING gold’s sharp rises and DAMPENING budding excitement when it periodically appears.
First, the times gold peaked each day – in military time - and then, the data separated into days that gold rose, and days it fell. During the first four months of 2012, gold is cumulatively up 5%. Of the 77 trading days, it has risen on 41 days and fallen on 36, with the average time of day that gold peaked being 8:58 AM EST, or 28 minutes into the COMEX trading session. Truly amazing how gold peaks each day immediately after the world’s largest PAPER market commences trading, huh?

More telling is the peak times during “up days” versus “down days.” On the 41 up days, gold’s average peak time was 10:21 AM; what a coincidence, directly after the PM FIX, and with it, all PHYSICAL trading for the trading day.

Conversely, the average peak time on down days was much earlier, at 7:27 AM EST, coinciding with commencement of New York “pre-market” trading. The 7:27 AM figure is an average, but irrespective, nearly all peaks come early in the trading day. Corroborating Dmitri Speck’s data, nine of this year’s 36 down days saw a peak at EXACTLY 3:00 AM, plus an additional three within the London “pre-market” PAPER trading hours of 2:15 AM – 4:00 AM EST.

Of the remaining 24 down days, an astonishing twelve experienced peak gold pricing within a half hour of the PM Fix at 10:00 AM EST, and another four within a half hour of 12:00 PM EST, the “cap of last resort.” That leaves just eight of the 36 down days NOT experiencing peak pricing at the Cartel’s three KEY ATTACK TIMES of 3:00 AM EST, 10:00 AM EST, and 12:00 PM EST. Lo and behold, Dmitri Speck’s silver data from 1998-2010 is SPOT ON with gold’s experience in 2012.

Notably, 30 of this year’s 77 trading days can be characterized as “Coat of Arms Days,” in which the familiar Cartel herald appeared – that is a whopping 39% of the time. This is their primary tool for preventing “froth,” and are particularly utilized at the aforementioned KEY ATTACK TIMES, especially when gold is nearing a KEY ROUND NUMBER, and essentially always when approaching a 1% daily gain.
