Gold ETF (GLD) May Face Major Falling Resistance Within Expanding Wedge (weekly chart)

I decided to take a fresh look at GLD's weekly chart. The above chart still includes the ascending triangle and associated long-term support line (long green line) that GLD recently moved up off of.  

However, perhaps more importantly GLD also appears to be constrained by resistance imposed by a large expanding wedge (blue lines) that is falling in price. 

If the expanding wedge's overhead resistance (upper blue line, currently at about $108.40) cannot be broken and current support does not hold (solid green line), GLD could possibly fall in price to the base of the expanding wedge, which is currently about $77/share.

Of course, on the other hand, GLD could break up and out of the expanding wedge, a pattern that has led GLD down since 2012.


What will actually happen? There is no predicting the future. One can only build strategies based on what is known. Stay tuned.
