Maybe an answer from our friend Bill Murphy...................

"We understand a substantial option position is being defended again by the bears which is contributing to the gold softness. The open interest fell to new recent lows to 152,167 contracts. The specs are bored so they are exiting and the trade does not (in an overall, general technical sense) ant to be short any more, so we have a dwindling open interest. When this occurs and you have a huge base, it is normally a bullish sign."

John:

My guess is that December gets nearer expiration some of the positions are being liquidated. Kaplan discusses this on his site, from time to time.

Live long and prosper,
