GLD trade ideas
GLD shows investors aren't selling yet!If you're ever wondering whether or not the market is looking rocky, a good way is to look at Gold -- money will flow out of stocks and into commodities as a hedge, and in this case, GLD is holding within this symmetrical triangle. However, if GLD looks like it's consolidating here with the oscillators indicating strength. This *could* be a sign that investors are preparing to hedge their portfolio and are expecting a market selloff sometime soon. Watch these levels, especially towards the end of the month!
#GLD 1 Month #DescendingTriangle #Gold #ChartPatternDescending triangle is bearish in nature. A confirmed breakout (daily close below chart pattern support) could start the next correction phase for gold and take it down to $170/$169 area. I would also be playing the failed chart pattern (close above triangle down sloping line) for a run back to bull market high.
Possible GLD ScenariosFirst things first, all time highs are bullish. Let’s not forget that! When looking at GLD, that is the first thing I notice. Let’s have a look at the chart:
When a new all time high is reached, I like to use the Fib extension tool to pick some possible upside targets. Gold has formed a huge base of the cup and it looks to be forming a possible cup and handle.
For scenario 1, GLD goes to the 161% extension. The MACD is trending bullish on the monthly so this case is still a possibility. The RSI is really high at around 80. The RSI never stays around 80 for too long without pulling back. If we see this bounce off the 60 or 70 mark, the 161% extension looks very possible.
If the trend continues bullish, a logical resistance area is the 127% extension. The RSI would still need to hold round 60 to 70 for this scenario as well. If we fail here, I imagine we will put in our handle formation. Good re-entry points for the handle would be the 50% or the 61% retracements.
Scenario 3 is a near term failure. the targets here would also be the 50% and the 61% retracement levels. For this scenario, as long as the RSI stays above 40, the trend will continue upwards and the massive cup and handle will have formed.
Happy Trading!
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..
