Volume Bubbles Chart (1h)

Each 1-hour candle's volume is signed by its direction (up candles count as net buying, down candles as net selling) and drawn as a bubble at the closing price, green for buying and red for selling. Bubble size and colour intensity show how strong that flow is compared with the last 300 candles: the strongest 30% get full bubbles with their USD value, the rest stay as small dots. Unusually large bubbles flag aggressive buying or selling worth a closer look, often near breakouts, reversals or key levels.

Seasonal Chart

Plots one line per calendar year showing the % change since the start of that year, with the current year highlighted against up to four previous years. Lining the years up on the same calendar shows whether the price tends to rise or fall in the same months, helping you spot recurring seasonal patterns. Treat it as context rather than a forecast: past seasonality does not guarantee future moves.

SPDR Gold Shares Historical Data

About SPDR Gold Shares

SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) is an exchange-traded fund designed to track the price of gold bullion, giving investors exposure to gold price movements without needing to directly buy, store, or insure physical gold.

Each share of GLD represents a fractional ownership interest in physical gold held by the trust, making it one of the most widely used vehicles for gaining gold price exposure through a standard brokerage account.

SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) FAQ

What does GLD track?

GLD is designed to track the price of gold bullion, with each share representing a fractional interest in physical gold held by the trust.

Do I own physical gold if I buy GLD shares?

You own a fractional interest in gold held by the trust rather than a specific physical amount you can redeem directly — most retail investors use GLD purely for price exposure rather than obtaining physical metal.

Why might someone invest in GLD instead of physical gold?

GLD offers a way to gain gold price exposure through a regular brokerage account without needing to arrange storage, insurance, or physical delivery of metal.

Does GLD pay a dividend?

No, since gold itself doesn't generate income, GLD does not pay a dividend the way stock-based ETFs might.

How is GLD different from gold mining stocks?

GLD tracks the price of gold itself, while gold mining stocks (or ETFs holding them) reflect the performance of companies that mine gold, which can be influenced by factors like production costs and company-specific operations beyond just the gold price.
