I agree-- looks like the handle is breaking to the upside.

Also, check out the volume on GLD, just to gauge investor sentiment. It was HUGE the last two days, after being way down during this most recent consolidation. That is classic cup and handle breakout volume.

If it's going to happen, I'm looking for something like: $1,000 in the next few days, a 1-2 day pause around the old all-time high at $1,030, then a blast through to perhaps $1,100, then a retest back to $1,040ish then up, up, and away... so long triple-digits forever.

This would need to play out by mid-April or else it's invalid. If it happens, THAT is when this thick mud we're stuck in gets washed away...
