GLD turned last week’s resistance to support, which is now being tested as Ukraine hype unwinds and FOMC looms.  This is a still bullish chart working off an over bought condition.

GLD is in consolidation at resistance.  It is bullish until proven otherwise.  Support is anywhere from the visual lateral support at 122 to the gap and moving average convergence around 125.
