Conventional wisdom tells one that rising prices along with rising open interest and good volume is a sign of a healthy bull market. Conversely, rising prices accompanied by decreasing open interest and decent volume is a sign of a bull market that is getting ready to run out of steam to the upside. Kiss that all goodbye in the new world of managed markets. Let me state here for the record that the exact opposite is true now that the lords and barons of the official sector have decided to impose their will on the peasants and surreptitiously pervert the natural order of the gold market.
Good site, I've been using it for 3-4 months. It's interesting to watch the paper silver and gold flying around.
