More Growth Ahead for GXTG?

There’s no denying the fund’s current strength, but can it maintain this upward trajectory? Technical analysis can help.

In this case, we’re looking at the 3-month chart and notice heavy volume to start the first month of 2021. When applying a relative strength indicator (RSI), one can see that it’s deep into overbought territory at 82.65, which explains the fund recently reaching a high of $50.90.

To confirm the current momentum, we can apply a stochastic relative strength index (RSI) and once again, the 1.00 level confirms overbought territory. Traders looking for an ideal entry point may want to keep an eye on whether it pulls back closer to its 50-day moving average.

Additional stimulus can keep GXTG trending even higher through 2021. Short-term pullback or not, the prospects of the fund maintaining its upward trajectory looks good so far.
