They started buying some of the miners, especially some of the silver miners, in numbers and aggressively even while they were still smacking down gold and silver spot prices to the lows.

Those lows were an almost perfect hit on the accumulation-distribution trend on my chart.

I think this type of price action gives them the opportunity to buy some decent positions in the higher beta miners without trading against themselves in the market. The negative bullion price action keeps most of the public buyers on the sidelines.
