iShares Gold Trust ETF Forecast
Red day on Wednesday for iShares Gold Trust
(Updated on Apr 24, 2024)
The iShares Gold Trust ETF price fell by -0.114% on the last day (Wednesday, 24th Apr 2024) from $43.91 to $43.86. It has now fallen 3 days in a row. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 0.91% from a day low at $43.80 to a day high of $44.20. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a -0.41% loss for the last 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day along with the ETF, which is actually a good sign as volume should follow the ETF. On the last day, the trading volume fell by -3 million shares and in total, 5 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $225.45 million.
The ETF lies in the lower part of a strong rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $43.41 is broken, it will firstly indicate a slower rate of rising, but may also be an early warning for a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the ETF is expected to rise 20.58% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $52.34 and $55.39 at the end of this 3-month period.

IAU Signals & Forecast
The iShares Gold Trust ETF holds a sell signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, there is a buy signal from the long-term average. Since the short-term average is above the long-term average there is a general buy signal in the ETF giving a positive forecast for the stock. On further gains, the ETF will meet resistance from the short-term Moving Average at approximately $44.57. On a fall, the ETF will find some support from the long-term average at approximately $42.68. A break-up through the short-term average will send a buy signal, whereas a breakdown through the long-term average will send a sell signal. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, and so far it has fallen -2.92%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements.

Trading Expectations (IAU) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 25th
For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 25th we expect iShares Gold Trust to open at $43.95, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $43.23 and $44.49, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.625 (+/-1.43%) up or down from last closing price. If iShares Gold Trust takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.85% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $44.04 (0.41%) than the support at $42.46 (3.19%), our systems don't find the trading risk/reward intra-day attractive and any bets should be held until the stock is closer to the support level.
