It is not that difficult to create a panic in the market especially when all the powers that be are on your side. Sell enough volume and the stop losses & trading algoriths kick in then the selling become self feeding until the move exhausts itself. Think back to the flash crash in May 2010 DJIA down over 1000 pts in minutes en.wikipedia.org

Sinclair taught the fundamentals of gold and currencies. The opposite reactions has happened in 08-09. But, at the end he was right. The market reactions are the movement of the money flow of the majority that may not be as rational as we think. When panic sets in people just want to get out that is where big money will be made/lost.
