I'm sitting on a massive loss in my long gold position.  Can this cliff edge really be attributable to just margin calls?

How massive?

If it's manageable then ride it out.  You don't day trade gold, you keep hold of it for a while.

@Caseynotes I agree it should find support here and was thinking of adding but I don't think I'll use my short term trading account if I add

@dmedinIt is manageable and in my trading rather than investing account.  

However, what worries me is can such a large selloff be due to margin calls alone or is there a change in the fundamentals?

Quite possibly.  At times like these it becomes  clear to all that gold is a 'barbarous relic' and means f-all in terms of corresponding to the real needs of human beings.

Gold sell-off fails to dent investor enthusiasm - https://www.ft.com/content/84f50eea-1eaa-4e88-9040-16f1944978f7 

Investor sentiment on IG showed a bearish signal. With so many people long and thinking the same way, do all the longs have to be pummeled before the Phoenix rises from the ashes?!

If you never had a long position and saw the gold chart, would you rate it a buy?

Who cares?

Prices go up and down randomly and people (hence markets) are totally irrational.

Have a punt, if you like.  Just don't go looking for a rational explanation - it's all speculation. :)

😂 Perhaps I can swap a bottle of hand sanitiser and antibacterial soap for a gold bar?!

 

So you reckon it's all gambling then?

Gold was having liquidity issues. As soon as the underlying is liquid again it will be reopened. If it's open whist illiquid the price will be gaping up and down. People may get closed out on stops that are very far our which is something we don't see as best execution. 

All the best.

    • In general, I will start with the fact that I was looking for a cube would be possible to invest money to multiply Some bets, stock exchanges didn't really work for me. I decided to look for something really worthwhile. In general I got to cryptocurrency, studied it for a while and tried to get into it. Then I got interested in all sorts of nft, metaverse, and so on And then I found a quite interesting and fresh project It's called Sabai Ecoverse. There, and you can earn from zero, and multiply the capital. In general, I just started to get into it. Can you also look at and say your opinion, please

    • The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a so-called Wells notice on Coinbase which saw the stock down heavily after-hours last night on Wall Street.    Jeremy Naylor | Analyst, London | Publication date: Thursday 23 March 2023  This is a document indicating that the SEC is preparing to act against some parts of the business. IGTV’s Jeremy Naylor explains that as the story develops, and more is heard, traders will be able to make a better judgment. Coinbase shares plunge The crypto exchange Coinbase fell more than 22% yesterday late in the session, all-sessions on the IG platform, it trades outside of hours, and it was this trading that represented a big drop in the share price. Share price chart Let's take a look at what happened because it explains the situation quite well. We have subsequently this morning seen a little bit of a rebound, but that 22% drop came after the company was issued a so-called Wells notice by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Wells notice is often one of the final steps before the SEC formally issues charges against the business, generally laying out the framework for what happens next. So we've got this drop that came through last night. We've subsequently seen a little bit of a rise on the session. CNBC said last night that based on discussions with the staff that potentially enforcement actions would relate to aspects of the company's spot market staking service, Coinbase Earn, Coinbase Prime and also the Coinbase Wallet business. Now the SEC is on high alert in the crypto industry in the wake of the failure of FTX. The recent gains we've seen in Coinbase have really all been about what's been happening with Bitcoin. Bitcoin has risen a whopping 47 and three quarter percent from the lows we had back on the 10th of March, all the way up to the highs we saw on Wednesday, yesterday, mid-session before the pullback. It's acting a little bit like a safe haven in the world of the markets. But Coinbase reflected this to some degree. But that knock yesterday was a really big pullback. But the investors are regrouping around the business and see this stock now up all-sessions, up 7% today. Where it'll open remains to be seen, but I suspect we could well see a little bit of a drop at the start later on today on Wall Street.
