On March 31, I tweeted about the SPDR Gold ETF NYSEARCA: GLD.
It is a good thing I do not rate my trading advice on the number of likes I get.
So, with the tweet spot on, the very next day, me and my MMM Advantage members entered long at 149.50.
Since, we have taken profits, added to the position and taken profits again.
To date, we still hold a core position in GLD.
With the huge earnings week, central bank bond buying, burgeoning money supply and a market that has rallied off the lows way more than most expected, it is time to look at this shiny precious metal again.
Below is stockcharts with our proprietary indicators, RealMotion and Triple Play Indicators.
As far as pure price, the phase is bullish. Even though the price has come off the highs, it’s still in relatively good shape.
Furthermore, the average daily volume has steadily declined during the correction.
The Real Motion Indicator shows that when GLD made a new high close on April 13, the momemtum was very strong.
Then the next high close on April 23rd, note that the momentum did not make a new high thus showing a divergence between price and momentum.
Currently, should GLD’s RM indicator break down below the last swing low, then it could be that GLD is ready to correct harder..
If however, the momentum holds here and starts to go back up, most likely that is telling us GLD’s bullish phase is still intact.
Price performance or GLD relative to SPY shows that GLD is underperforming on a monthly basis.
Against the bonds though, GLD is still outperfoming on a monthly basis, but not on a 6-month basis.
Conclusion-We will know very soon if momentum picks up or fails further and whether we add to our position, or keep our trailing stop and exit should it get hit.
