He&rsquo;s also a big-time conspiracy theorist. And on Sunday, those two sides of Mark came together.<\/p>\n<p>Not much was happening when the gold futures contracts opened for trading on Sunday night. The near-term contract closed trading on Friday at about $1,984 per ounce. That&rsquo;s just about where it opened for trading on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>But by 9 p.m. ET, gold collapsed.<\/p>\n<p>Take a look&hellip;<\/p>\n<p><!--IMG SNIP--><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px\" align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"Image\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.jeffclarktrader.com\/JMU\/images\/202310\/20231027-JMU-01.png\"><\/p>\n<p>Somebody dumped 4,000 gold futures contracts onto the market. That&rsquo;s nearly $8,000,000 worth of gold futures hitting the tape all at once on a Sunday night &ndash; when most traders are absent.<\/p>\n<p>Who would do that? Who would liquidate a large pile of futures contracts into an illiquid market?<\/p>\n<p>And, more importantly, why would they do that?<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;IT&rsquo;S A CONSPIRACY!&rdquo; Mark&rsquo;s text continued, &ldquo;THEY&rsquo;RE MANIPULATING THE MARKET!&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Maybe he&rsquo;s right.<\/p>\n<p>After all, the gold market has long been a battleground for central bankers and institutions that prefer to have the price of gold move in one direction. It&rsquo;s also home to many speculators who suspect the world is about to end. And, in that battle, the central bankers win the short-term direction because they have more money.<\/p>\n<p>So Mark isn&rsquo;t wrong. The price action in gold on Sunday night did reek of manipulation.<\/p>\n<p>But was it a conspiracy?<\/p>\n<p>Not really.<\/p>\n<p>Conspiracies are done in secret. Conspirators meet behind closed doors. They plan their actions in private. And they take great pains not to leave any trace of what they&rsquo;ve done.<\/p>\n<p>That&rsquo;s not how it happens in the gold market.<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s no secret who the big players are in the gold market. It&rsquo;s not hard to tell when the big players are pushing prices around.<\/p>\n<p>There&rsquo;s no attempt to hide it. And that&rsquo;s actually a good thing.<\/p>\n<p>You see, when there&rsquo;s a big move in the price of gold &ndash; and some sort of news event can&rsquo;t explain it &ndash; you can be fairly certain that the big players are moving the price. That action provides clues as to where the price of gold and gold stocks are headed next.<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s been happening for at least the four decades in which I&rsquo;ve been trading the gold market. And that information has been a source of enormous profits throughout my career.<\/p>\n<p><!--GREY BOX START--><\/p>\n<div class=\"card bg-light mb-4\">\n<div class=\"card-body\">\n<p align=\"center\" style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><strong>Free Trading Resources<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Have you checked out Jeff&#8217;s free trading resources on his website?
