Top Pick of the Week Review – IAU – Week Ending May 23, 2025

POST UPDATED: May 25, 2025

TPOW IAU

This week’s Top Pick of the Week (TPOW) was IAU – iShares Gold Trust, selected for its breakout above the Green Line with a strong SCTR score above 90 and rising momentum on increasing volume.

We entered IAU on Monday at the market open at $60.91 and exited on Friday’s close at $63.38, capturing a solid gain of +4.05% in just one week.

As shown in the chart above, IAU broke out decisively above the Green Zone with strong Relative Strength, signaling a high-probability entry aligned with the TPOW strategy. The volume surge and clean breakout pattern reinforced the bullish momentum, making this setup a textbook example of Above the Green Line principles at work.

Why IAU?

Gold-related assets have shown renewed strength as inflation concerns reemerge and geopolitical tensions support the flight to safety. IAU met all three TPOW criteria:

  • SCTR > 90
  • Breakout above the Green Zone
  • High volume breakout confirmation

These indicators aligned with Above the Green Line’s system, signaling a high-probability swing setup.
