As we approach the European close, the dolar index just spiked and precious metals (and crude) were pummeled. Gold futures tumbled on massive volume as over $4 billion notional was purged instantaneously…
Over 30,000 contracts ripped through gold futures – over $4.2 billion notional – in the space of a minute. That's around 10% of a normal days' volume.

Silver was hit too as the dollar spiked…
