Gold Triple Top?Is GLD completing a triple top pattern or is it poised to breakout to new all-time highs? The charts say gold at 2,025 - 2050 per ounce is pushing the upper boundaries of its historical resistance price, so the probabilities are that GLD declines over the next few months. However, if GLD breaks out above 193 - 195 because of macroeconomic or geopolitical events, then it will make a new historical leg up. Here's a GLD 1 month chart, 13-year view, with the triple top pattern highlighted with an ellipse. I'm posting this as a short, but the timing for a short GLD trade may prove to take a long time or invalidated with a GLD breakout past 193 - 195.
