Gold printing a classic blow-off top: RSI > 76 (historically overbought for gold, not equities) + topping candle (Shooting Star, Evening Star, or Bearish Engulfing) + price within 3% of 52W high (at or near major resistance). Signals institutional distribution — smart money reducing longs into retail euphoria. Not a short signal in a bull trend; a reduce-long / tighten-stop alert. Best acted on with a 1D or 4H trail stop tightening — not a full reversal bet.
RSI > 76 + parabolic move + volume climax = exhaustion top. Gold occasionally stages parabolic blow-offs (geopolitical fear panics). The fade after RSI > 76 with volume climax has historical edge — but timing is critical.
RSI_14 > 76 + change_pct elevated + volume climax + ATR expansion.
