I see more of a flying dragon with smiley face which is always a sign that the bull is coming. GS Trading desk agrees probably.
I was thinking the other day, does this pattern still works. (On the equity side) Oneil used it on a weekly frame tho. Just a insignificant thought.
That's the cup and handle originally discussed. The cup is the basing pattern and the handle invalidates what would be the expected symmetrical down move after a double top.
I do trade valid Cup & Handle when the opportunity arises. GLD is a invalid Cup & Handle since the the second top is higher then first top.
Thank you for your concern but my play is shorting XAU, when inflation fears turns out to be a a case of mass hysteria my buy limits in the low $600 and $56 on GLD gets filled.
I agree that gold is probably a case of mass hysteria but never go against the trend. Plenty of opportunity to go short later as I see new highs first.
