Gold shortBearish engulfing on the weekly chart.
I would like the volume to be a little higher, but I think it is enough for a good 1 or 2 week play.
Will update as necessary.
Next Move??Could make a case that more work needs to be done in this channel. Depends on politics, tweets and underlying market conditions. Not sure what camp prevails but this is a tough one right now.

Short for GLD from a rising channel I identified two rising channels developing since August, along side with a smaller one. There was a breakout towards downtrend in the upper channel.
Entry: 142.34
I sold a call credit spread to short the position. Currently, it seems that it is about to break the lower rising channel.
GLD inside bar continuation Looking for a break below the candlestick that is before the inside bar.
There was a nice retrace to the 38.2 fib level and 20 MA. GLD bounced from those levels with 2 solid bear moves, and the volume was solid for both.
If GLD breaks below the low of the 1st candle, I will enter short and possibly take a 2 target trade.
GLD - Daily - Inside bar setupBearish gold fits the narrative right now - the S&P wants to climb.
Technically, GLD made an inside candle bar today. Inside bars can be bearish continuation patterns if the low of the previous candle (the "mother" candle) can be broken. Or, they can be bullish continuation if the high of the previous candle (the "mother" candle) can be broken. In this situation, I'm looking for a bearish continuation. But, I will wait until the low of the mother candle is broken with a close below it.
Fundamentally, this bearish situation makes sense. SPY (S&P ETF) is doing all it can to break the all time high at roughly 302 ... whether SPY can break above and hold it, is yet to be determined. However, like I was saying, a bearish gold scenario fits this story line. When people are excited (risk on) they take their money out of safe haven equities such as gold (risk off), and put it in riskier investments. Traditionally, gold and bonds are the "safe space" for nervous investors. No nervousness = no "safe space" ... and the GLD sell off should continue. Not too mention, gold is up $200 per ounce YTD; it has room to pull back.
Watch the videoscreencast-o-matic.com ignore the chart.. this was the only way i could post the video..... This was for my trading room... basics of symmetry. Gold does have support here so watch for triggers but its not the point of this
Don't Short Gold Just YetInsiders think bonds and metals will sell-off as the Fed remains hawkish. I thought the same until I saw this chart. 6 year round bottom with backtest almost complete. This could rocket higher than anyone thought possible.
GLD Short SpreadPut Spread on GLD 143/138
Cost is $2.14
EXP is Oct 18
Max loss is $140 Max gain is $190
Gold is starting to go down as market is being sated by good trade news.
Gold Turning Down From Important ResistanceThis is a follow up to my 8/8/19 GLD post. There was expected resistance in the zone around 50% retrace of the last Gold bear market. Gold and the ETF - GLD marginally exceeded the target with significant bearish divergences. Since the peak, daily MACD and Stochastics have had line bear crosses. Daily RSI has a bearish divergence.
If the Elliott wave count illustrated in my 8/8/19 post is correct, GLD has potential to retrace at least the entire rally since the bear market bottom. Gold price could ultimately reach $900 to $1000 zone.
GLD first support zone is in the 130 to 134 area.
