Is the Gold Breakout for Real?
Gold ETF GLD recently broke out over $100, an area that has provided major “round number resistance” the past two times GLD tried to breakout. When a “major” ETF or market leader breaks out over a number like $100 after basing around that area for a significant amount of time,…
