Intraday Setup: GLD Breaks Out of Triangle
December 26, 2007 – 11:13 am
The GLD exchange traded fund has just broken out of a triangle. Triangles tend to be continuation patterns, which means [[GLD]] should continue moving on up. Read a previous post on the GLD triangle here: Reader Request: GLD.

Be aware that the RSI(2) is nearing overbought. Also, although this is a picture-perfect breakout, I am wary to trade on technical signals generated during low-volume holiday-shortened weeks. All that being said, I established a position today. My stop-loss is set at $77.77
It looks like GOOG is setting up a triangle also.

December 26th, 2007 at 6:58 pmjakegint: would you kindly explain what that means - “sold into strength”? do u mean like while folks were selling GLD, more folks were buying, so that is bullish? thanks
December 26th, 2007 at 10:34 pmbylo- selling into strength has a bearish connotation.
What the WSJ is reporting is that there was more volume on downticks than upticks, yet the stock price was still up on the day. They call this measure of negative money flow “selling into strength.”
