Gold Portfolio Analysis: A Closer Look at the CME data (options)
Let's analyze the significance of data obtained from analyzing the portfolios of Large Option Traders based on CME exchange March 7th.
Firstly, it is important to note that the portfolios aimed at the growth of quotations appeared when gold was moving sideways (look at screenshot)
At this time, traders were adjusting their portfolios to partially lock in profits by closing or reselling their positions. As a result, a portion of these positions is transferred from more Informed market participants to Less informed ones (look data from CME exchange).
In most cases, this leads to a quick reversal of quotes or some range movement.

Komentarz:
Increased retail options activity in the $2200 calls led to a sideways movement. There are still 10 days until the April Gold options expiration. Do you think the rally will continue until expiration? We highly doubt it.
