Here is my chart of GLD (NYSE:GLD) during post-market trading today (Thursday, Aug 4th). I sent this chart to my followers alerting them of the next day’s market bias/trend and trade setup.
If you don’t know what spike alerts are, let me explain briefly. In short, the market gives of these rogue price spikes which I have been able to filter and identify. On top of that, some data feeds filter their data depending on the chart timeframe you are loading and will only use the AVERAGE price and not every tick to create the price bar on the chart to remove these spikes.
Meaning, even if your charting platform and data feeds don’t filter out these rogue price spikes then you may only see these price spike with specific chart time frames like the 30-minute or a 10-minute chart. It varies from day to day and when these special rogue spikes happen.
Bottom line, if you see these spikes, 80% of the time we see the price spike target reached within 24-48 hours.
Thursday Aug 4th Spike Alert:
This shows you the spike down as it was taking place with my automated spike identification software. This spike took place right after the market closed Thursday giving us several hours in afterhours trading to enter the trade (short gold, or buy an inverse ETF).
GLD didn’t only drop to the price target of $128.87, but gap below that and continued to fall all session closing at $127.55 a share. There are many ways to play these spikes in price of gold . You can trade the ETFs or futures contract as shown in the chart below, or trade the even faster moving ETFs like Direxion Daily Gold Miners Bear 3X Shares (NYSE:DUST) or Direxion Daily Gold Miners Bull 3X Shares (NYSE:NUGT), GDX (NYSE:GDX), VanEck Vectors Junior Gold Miners (NYSE:GDXJ), or even a high beta gold miner stock.
