GLD Ascending TriangleI realize multiple people have identified the ascending triangle of GLD and stating it's bearish trend. Since the initial trend was bullish, why wouldn't it break to the upside? Congress is 99% going to pass another stimulus package which would be a positive catalyst for gold and silver. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Gold is hard to follow?GLD is still working in a price channel and a trend to the BULLISH side.
Bouncing off the bottom support while consolidating. Positive S&P or DOW moves tend to see down days or sideways selling.
Any bad news may see upticks within the Fib or BB ranges UP!
Watch for Thursday's with Futures closings, Friday Option expiration's and "Witching" days, these are also big Gold/Silver sell signals as margin calls
or weekend bag holders drop positions for cash.
Renko's track just the price moves with trends, use these and Henkin Ashi for patterns, then Candles for action!
GLD Inside Ascending Triangle. Upside Breakout Due..After a nice $200+ correction from the fresh all-time highs, Gold appears to be making a new triangle which could breakout to the upside by the end of this month/early-September. While spot gold did go lower which is not reflected in the GLD ETF, spot prices did not stay below $1900 for more then 4 hours which shows there is very STRONG demand under that price. Looking to go LONG again upon a confirmed upside breakout..
GLD playObviously if we close this week in this shape, ppl will expect a dive next week.
Let's assume no dive for now.
If we bounce here and close above 185, this will form a weekly bullish engulfing. This would be very bullish. However, I think the probability is not high given it is still waiting for 10ma to catch up. So, 180-185 is most likely for this week assume no big dive. Of course, one can tailor their strategy by looking at best R/R.
What if there is a dive.
I think UUP long is in a better position for near term play. But imo this scenario is less than 1/3 given a flat and upward MAs and TLT intraday reverse.
Playing the GLD PullbackThe trend is still valid, we have declined 7.6% from the high of 194.35 with room to fall within the support trendline and 61.8% fibonacci at 178.25.
The play is to buy the lower trendline/golden fib(178.25), or the 50% fib (current price range= 181.33) in increments, and not add if that range collapses until next support level of 168.29. beyond 168.29 and this doesnt fit my definition of a bullish trend within a 3 month window, with price drop risk reaching 147.59.
Dip buying reward range contracted from 24% in early june to +15% for buying the lower trendline touch in mid July, and +6.5% for buying the 61.8% fib for August 12th-16th high. Buying the lowest technical boundary with is the safest way to minimize risk in a mature rally where gold double topped within the same range as previous cycle.
On the fundamental end, I expect the Fed to get extremely creative if there is any kind of intense volatility and liquidity shock again this year, potentially resorting to stock ETF purchases. If economy surprises to the upside, I expect the Fed to remain hands-off and maintain the current measures and rates, leaving earnings as the key driver for equity market upside.
