Now let's look at the great gold smash of 2013.
There were three separate operations I saw on or around the gold smash of 2013:
Operation #1: On April 12, gold had already broken below the 1525 support level to close at 1501 after dropping $100 over the two preceding months. After a long decline followed by a support break, the market was in a very fragile state. Sunday rolled around, and “someone” chose this moment to unload $95 in 13 volatility events over the course of just 13 hours. This avalanche decisively drove gold down $150 in just one day. This engineered follow-through using volatility events coming immediately after the support break resulted in the total annihilation of the longs. Price still has not recovered from that move.
Operation #2: two days after the $150 drop, another 3-event $23 assault completely failed. Price did not move at all. In fact, it rallied on the day. Why? Why didn't we get another $150 drop? Well, 1325 turned out to be strong support. Buyers came out in droves to pick up the lower-priced gold. And so when gold dropped $23 due to the volatility events, COMEX buyers snapped up the lower priced gold, and as a result the assault completely failed.
Operation #3: two months later, another 1-event $24 assault had only a very minor effect. Price fell that day a few bucks, which was regained the day following. Support was not quite as strong, but the market was clearly not in a fragile state at that point either. This assault failed as well, since there was no support break and no price reset lower.
Here are three events, in relatively close proximity to one another, but under three different sets of “chart circumstances” which provided three different outcomes. One worked, two others didn't. The difference, I maintain, was where the market was at each point. Fragile markets appear vulnerable to volatility events. Strong markets are not.
Now let's look at the most recent event: July 20, 2015…

A month ago, in an analysis titled Defying Gravity, I wrote about the unsustainable state of the stock market's high prices.
In it, I noted how the stock market had risen for an aberrantly-long time time without a correction, and that it hadn't even tested its 200-daily moving average price once since the beginning of 2012:

OK – hedging sounds prudent. But how do you do it?
Our focus here in Part 2 of this report is to cover the most common vehicles used in hedging strategies. Each one merits its own dedicated report (a series we’ll likely create in the future) to truly understand how and when to best deploy, so this report will focus on providing you with a good introduction to each, with guidance on how to further explore the ones that strike you as appropriate for your needs and personal risk tolerance.
Before continuing further though, let me make a few things absolutely clear. This is NOT personal financial advice. This material is for educational purposes only, and as an aid for you to discuss these options more intelligently with your professional financial adviser(s) before taking any action. (If you do not have a financial adviser or do not feel comfortable with your current adviser’s expertise with these hedging vehicles, we’ll be happy to refer you to our endorsed adviser)
Suffice it to say, everything discussed in this report (even the % cash component mentioned in Part 1) should be reviewed with your financial adviser before taking any action. Am I being excessively repetitive here in order to drive this point home? Good…
