These are all days in which there was a forced gold slamdown so furious that it triggered a "stop logic" event on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange resulting in a trading halt of the precious commodity.
In today's case gold trading was halted for a whopping 20 seconds as the market tried to "reliquify" itself following what was a clear attempt to reprice the gold (and silver) complex lower.

After all, it is perfectly normal for someone to dump 1,500 GC contracts in one trade and suck up all the liquidity from the market with zero regard slippage costs, or getting the best execution price possible.
