GLD - Encouraging!Precious metals perking up. GLD still has a little work to do but in the context of the big picture this looks like it is ready to test resistance. Technology holding up market today with AMZN earnings on tap after the bell. Like MSFT, AMZN shouldn't do anything surprising. One day delivery costs are real and an impact on profits. GLD RSI and MACD looking good. Let's go!

GLD - correction almost over?GLD looks to be coiling and ready for its next move which I believe is a continuation of the uptrend. GLD has been waffling above and below its 50 day line for some time now in a tight trading range just below $1,500. A decisive break above this level with volume and some follow through is what we are looking for. Miners chart also looks ready to break out. We know don'y buy bottoms but this is getting very very ripe for a trade and sustained up move. Don't forget SLV which has been very stingy giving anything back during the last few weeks of its corrective stage.

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.
