Anybody else see the triple bottom, or inverse Head and Shoulder breakout on GLD today.

Dave, do you see the same? If so, price target around 117?

Thanks

I am not sure I would call that an IH&S or triple bottom. I will say it is breaking to the upside forming a higher high and higher low off of good support.

Charting is very subjective as Dave has repeatedly told us. Re: GLD: an inverse H&S as far as I know follows a down trend so does a triple bottom - What I see is a consolidation after an up trend which may or may not break up. Personally I try to avoid applying a "pattern" to any chart because as soon as I do I get biased on the chart. (Dave myathopia is that the word you use). Have a great day all.

CR - I believe the word he uses is "myopia" or "myopic" also known as nearsightedness.

Take care all!
