WEATHERMAN makes an appearance:

The Weatherman Analyst at BNZ Bank lamenting the destruction of the Kiwi today, and is JUST NOW predicting and warning of lower price levels for Kiwi in the upcoming days. The WEATHERMAN is warning of asnother 100 pip drop in Kiwi. But this same guy yesterday was pounding table on Kiwi, knowing the Australian Pimp Deputy would be out "promoting" Aussie currency and Kiwi would gp for the ride. Kiwi down 130 pips in just a few hours, and now Weatherman BNZ is JUST NOW warning the public. As usual, Weatherman is telling the public which way the wind is blowing.

For timing my exact entry I tend to use 1 hour chart, (look at all the upper wicks late session yesterday on 1 hr candles) To me that showed a lot of short interest building at around the 16.25 level...but really like observing the trend with 4 hr.

And silver used to be heavily used in photographic films. In the pre-digital era, I remember being slightly worried (as a bit of an amateur photographer) by stories about future shortages of silver.
I wonder if the price took a hit when digital came in in a big way?

So on what timescales do you tend to trade it?

@pippedoff, what level you think AUDUSD could get to with the help of RBA, GS, PPT, NAB, Westpac, etc? 90 plus room to breath? With Gold flirting 1100, sounds, they'd have a fair bit of work cut out for them!

They are both considered "precious metals" and will trade in tandem. There are fundamental differences. Silver actually has many industrial applications vs gold which is basically just used for jewelry & investment. I have noticed over time that silver is often overlooked but can be very profitable to trade. I don't know the exact percentages right this minute, but last I checked silver was -2.4% vs gold -.93% on this selloff. I like to exploit that added volatility.

:@Eelman: I've often thought about it, but never done it seriously. Are the fundamentals pretty much the same as for gold?

Dollar emphatically crushing everything...but gold still won't crack 1100!

Pipped - Do you ever look at playing silver along with the gold? The % moves are much bigger and the PPT is far less concerned with its manipulation.

I closed all my gold positions at a HUGE profit. However, I am not seeing any current bounce in the commodity currencies, so I am not sure Gold will be able to hold that 1103/1098 level today.

I am hoping/praying for the PPT/RBA intervention to prop risk trades higher here.
