GLD Follows Our Anticipated Upside Reversal Price Path

On October 3, Mike Paulenoff posted the following "Heads Up!" about GLD (SPDR Gold Trust, ETF) for MPTrader members:
"GLD has pressed to an important technical inflection window from 169.50 down to 166.30, from where I will be expecting corrective downside exhaustion off of the 5/04/23 high at 191.36, and new buying interest. From a nearer-term perspective, given the acute oversold but CONFIRMED Momentum reading of 17.16 an hour ago, my preferred scenario argues for another loop down that marginally violates today's low at 168.74 prior to my expectation of a tradable recovery rally... Last is 169.49..."
Within the subsequent 4 trading sessions, GLD closely followed Mike's anticipated upside reversal price path, initially pressing to a lower corrective low at 167.93 -- still within his optimal downside target window from 169.50 to 166.30 -- prior to pivoting powerfully to the upside, thereafter.
In fact, GLD has never looked back from its 10/06/23 low at 167.93 into this past Friday's high at 186.36. In the 19 trading days since Mike's alert to our MPTrader members, GLD has climbed $16.87, or 10%!
What's next for GLD? Will its strength continue? Is the strength a function of a weaker US Dollar, or alternatively, a result of stubborn inflationary expectations, rapidly rising geopolitical tensions, or debt financing "gone wild?" How about a combination of all of the above?

More Top Calls From Mike
This past Monday, July 15, right after the opening bell, Mike Paulenoff cautioned our members about the technical setup in TSLA (Tesla), writing:"TSLA is in the grasp of a corrective period off of last Thurs (7/11) high at 271.00 that hit an initial low at 231.52 last Friday (7/12). The big rebound off of 231.52 to 262.72 during this AM's pre-market trading has the right look of an "intervening bounce" between two distinct corrective declines (the first being 271 to 231.52).
This week's selection for our Top Call -- VZ (Verizon Communications) -- is less a function of its recent success and more a reflection of Mike's technical setup work that projects gains in the days and weeks ahead. On June 17, one of our MPTrader members (FJB) alerted us to his fundamental work on VZ. After seeing his positive comments, Mike Paulenoff posted the following technical interpretation of the pattern setup:"... somewhere above 36.
On the morning of June 20, Mike Paulenoff posted a heads-up about AMD to MPTrader members, writing:"AMD has been upgraded this AM by Piper Sandler with a Target Price of 175. Piper reiterated its OverWeight rating and has made AMD its top big-cap pick for the remainder of 2024. Technically, AMD has its challenges and its work cut out for it to climb to Piper's 175 target. My attached 4-hour chart setup argues that for starters, AMD needs to climb above 158.
On the afternoon of May 7, 2024, ahead of earnings the next morning, this is what I discussed with MPTrader members about a forthcoming opportunistic technical set in UBER (Uber Technologies):UBER reports earnings tomorrow morning before the opening bell. My Big Picture setup suggests strongly that the bull phase that commenced in June 2022 at 19.90 still has unfinished business on the upside into the 90-100 target window.
This coming week is filled with consequential macro and micro "events," such as NVDA's 10 for 1 stock split, CPI, PPI, and TSLA's annual meeting, during which shareholders will vote to approve or reject Elon Musk's 2018, $56 billion pay package.Arguably, the most significant "event" for the technology sector, in particular, and for the major equity indices is Apple Inc.'s WWDC Conference, which begins tomorrow.
