The SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) is attempting to thrust out of a two-day bull flag type of formation, which represents the digestion period in the aftermath of yesterday's potent upmove from Friday's low at 72.91 to 77.03. If the bull flag resolves itself to the upside, then the GLD should climb towards a test of yesterday's high at 77.03 -- likely on the way to a test of more important resistance along the November 25 down trendline -- now at 77.25. Only a break beneath today's pullback low at 75.08 will compromise the near-term technical set-up.
