GLD trade ideas

GLD - Inverted head and shouldersInvesting in the SPDR Gold Shares ETF (GLD) offers several long-term benefits: 1. **Inflation Hedge**: Gold historically performs well during periods of inflation, protecting against the decline in currency value. 2. **Safe-Haven Asset**: Gold is often seen as a refuge during economic or geopolitical instability, making GLD an attractive option for risk-averse investors. 3. **Diversification**: Gold’s price movements tend to be uncorrelated with stocks and bonds, which can help reduce portfolio volatility. 4. **Liquidity**: GLD is traded on major stock exchanges, offering high liquidity and ease of trading compared to owning physical gold. 5. **Cost Efficiency**: Owning GLD is cheaper than holding physical gold, as it avoids the costs of storage and insurance, with an expense ratio of 0.40%. 6. **Historical Performance**: GLD has demonstrated strong returns, with a year-to-date return of around 27% as of 2024, and a 10-year average return of nearly 9%. 7. **Timeless Value of Gold**: Gold has been a reliable store of value for centuries, and remains relevant as a hedge against modern market volatility. These reasons make GLD a solid choice for long-term investors looking to mitigate risk while benefiting from gold’s enduring value.

GLD: Short-Term Weakness, Long-Term OpportunityGLD is showing weakness today, confirming that the strong upward trend is now in a phase of consolidation or temporary correction. This phase could present interesting entry points, but in the short term, the acceleration of the declines and the shift of previously bullish indicators to neutral signals suggest a cautious approach is warranted. AMEX:GLD Key Indicator Analysis: Relative Strength Index (RSI 14) at 43.60: This is in neutral territory, indicating that GLD is not yet oversold, but the weakening momentum signals the lack of immediate upward pressure. Stochastic %K (14, 3, 3) at 23.02: While close to the oversold threshold, this oscillator is still neutral, hinting that the current decline might not have fully exhausted selling pressure. Commodity Channel Index (CCI 20) at -213.86: A clear "Buy" signal, as this extreme negative value suggests the possibility of a rebound. However, it must be considered within the context of broader market conditions, which remain weak. Average Directional Index (ADX 14) at 26.06: Indicates a lack of strong trend direction. This suggests that the consolidation phase could last longer, and a strong trend (either up or down) is not yet established. Momentum (10) at -4.10: This "Buy" signal indicates that selling momentum may be fading, but the bearish MACD (-0.73) contrasts this, suggesting the potential for further declines before any meaningful recovery. Moving Averages: Most short-term moving averages (Exponential and Simple) are indicating "Sell" signals (10, 20, 30 days), reinforcing the bearish sentiment in the near term. However, the longer-term moving averages (50, 100, 200 days) remain in "Buy" territory, supporting the notion of a broader upward trend that is currently in a correction phase. Conclusion: Aggressive Traders: Those looking for short-term opportunities may consider selling intraday rebounds. The weak oscillators and bearish moving averages in the short term indicate that the downside risk is present. These traders can aim for quick, short-duration trades, betting on continued price drops before stabilization. Strategic Traders: More patient, strategic traders can observe how deep this correction phase goes. The extreme CCI value, along with the longer-term bullish moving averages, suggests that GLD is in a corrective period within a larger uptrend. Waiting for a clearer signal of the correction’s depth could provide an attractive buying opportunity with the expectation of new highs before the year-end. In summary, GLD is in a period of caution as the short-term indicators turn neutral to bearish, while long-term signals suggest this is a temporary consolidation phase.

$GLD short term top? Buy the dip at $177 or lower?AMEX:GLD looks like it's putting in a top here. While I do think commodities have started longer term bull trends, I think if we see a big move down in risk assets, commodities won't escape the bearish move. I think it's likely that we reverse from this level and find support somewhere between $177-169 region. However, I'm not ruling out the possibility of a larger move down. Supports on the charts. After we see a major correction, I'll look for long-term entries as I think that move down will start the next bull run.

$GLD Breakout and Option Strategy Spotlight with Overlay It looks like GLD 0.44%↑ finally broke out of its sideways-upward channel on Friday. Time to explore some opportunities using our Options Overlay indicator on TradingView. The current IVR is at 84, while the 62 DTE average IVx is only 19.9, making this IVx level exceptionally high for gold over the past year. On the daily chart, the Gold ETF is trading between the 6/8 and 7/8 levels. The options chain shows that calls 62 DTE are about 130% more expensive, indicating a strong bullish sentiment in the market. Examining the standard expected move (STD1), even at 4 DTE, the upside target is 237 (7/8), with the downside at 6/8. The delta curve shows the 16 delta OTM call trending upwards toward the 8/8 level, which aligns with the 250 level. Given this, I would caution against buying single-leg calls at such inflated prices. A pullback could dramatically reduce their value, and time decay will work against you. If you're determined to go bullish, a simple CALL butterfly offers a better risk-reward ratio! GLD Bullish strategy - if we are expecting rising IV Assuming further IV increases (IVx rose by 2% over the last 5 days despite a drop in VIX and a rise in the underlying), a CALL calendar spread presents a solid R:R setup. The Options Overlay quickly highlights the optimal expiry dates to target: Sep 20-27. I noticed a 4% volatility skew between these dates. The standard expected move (STD1) and delta16 suggest an upward probability range capped at 245, meaning there's an 86% chance that AMEX:GLD stays below this level by Sep 20. Here's my setup in this case: GLD Sep 20th - Sep 27th 245 Calendar Call Spread. This spread, spotted in under a minute on TradingView, offers nearly 8x risk-reward, but it's beneficial only if you're betting on continued IV increases.

GLD long setup around $214-15I dowse stocks and did a reading on GLD, so want to journal it here. The levels are often good, but sometimes the order they hit is confused. What I believe I'm getting is that GLD drops to the $214-15 area, which, coincidentally includes a gap area. I did ask how high this goes and I got $318ish but not till next year. I also have a date of the 5th to watch for something. Dates are often reversals, or can be days with large moves. It may be that it reaches the target around $225-26 around then, as that's what I was asking for. I just don't always get the exact answers for what I'm asking, but the date could still end up valid.

Gold's Rise Adjusted for the Money SupplyThe chart on the top shows the price of gold adjusted for the Money Supply. The chart at the bottom shows the price of gold over time. Compare and contrast the two and you see a valuable fact. Actually, this is something we should all do more often with our favorite symbols – compare and contrast them to the growing money supply. Meaning, while gold is hitting all-time highs in nominal terms (chart at the top) it actually is underperforming in a drastic fashion relative to the growth of the money supply happening all around us. In many respects, this is a super important method of repricing assets based on the expansion, growth, and proliferation of the Dollar. This is often why tech, new products, and innovations win out more than assets like gold. For example, the smaller chart to the right of both charts shows NVIDIA and Apple priced for the expansion of the Dollar. Both assets are still at all-time highs. In-fact, Bitcoin is also near or at all-time highs, although its chart is not nearly as "enormous" as it looks at a nominal level. There's a lot to unpack here and I'll have to share soon.

Gold vs the 10yr yieldThis is a ratio chart. Gold is on top 10 year Yield is on bottom in the middle you can see the ratio between gold prices and the 10yr yield rising and falling. As you can tell, when the ratio reaches a low, gold prices tend to rise and yields tend to fall. Vice/versa when the ratio is at a high, Gold prices tend to fall, and yields tend to rise. Of course the ratio chart is not "CAUSING" the prices to rise or fall. In my humble opinion, we are relatively close to the long term low point on the ratio chart. Meaning that either gold prices should rise and or yields should fall, and or both maybe... Barrons has recently published a piece saying that rising supply of gold could contribute to prices ending the year around 2100. usd This would be a drop in price, and doesn't fit in with my narrative. It might be interesting to see how this ratio plays out, and perhaps it will help you form a bias for your next Gold trade!

Double Top in Gold That Strangely is Correlated with NividiaDid you know gold and Nividia have an 81% correlation? That's strange. (chart in comments) I see a double top in gold. TTM Squeeze firing on weekly, daily, 4 hourly and it's a continuation of a squeeze on the hourly. TTM Squeeze's usually bounce off the opposite side when it breaks/fakes out. Outside an exogenous event I see pm's taking the summer off and reawakening in the fall when the dollar tops out after the BOJ sells US treasuries after China devalues their currency after the dollar spikes when Europe cuts rates soon. It's going to be an epic chain reaction. The FED will cut rates heading into the election and if Trump wins he'll ride the last meme wave until it crashes and reinstitute a gold standard, or if Biden wins we get CBDC's. I'll be looking for low IV OTM calls in the fall after the FED cuts rates...
