NFTRH; Key ETF Update

A snapshot of the current technical status of several key markets (a lot of charts today because macro changes seem to be in effect)…

GLD broke down from the Sym-Tri (strike 1), lost the June low (strike 2) and now would try to find support at the December low, equiv. to gold 1180.  Over sold, prone to bounce but technically bearish below 120 and 123.

GLD became very bearish with the breakdown from 124.  A rise above 123 is needed to even begin to repair this chart.

GLD filled gap, which now closes out the geopolitical hype and leaves gold on its own right at key support.  Still not a constructive looking chart.  A rise above the SMA 200 and then the 50 makes it constructive.

NFTRH; Key ETF Charts

Key ETF charts are a snapshot to current technicals, not comprehensive technical analysis.

GLD bumped above the lower end of resistance yesterday and is support for any continuing S/T rally activity.  The big test is in the 123 to 125 area and the nose of the former Symmetrical Triangle.

NFTRH; Key ETF Charts

ETF daily charts are a snapshot of current technicals, not a comprehensive technical review.

GLD has lost support after spilling out of the Symmetrical Triangle.  Last week it was at the 62% Fib retrace and this week that is in the rear view window.  Still bearish.
