Momentum

| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 38, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 38.5 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading near the bottom of its 14-day range ($76.73 to $82.17) — its "stochastic" reading is 17 out of 100, where 0 would mean closing exactly at the 14-session low and 100 exactly at the high. This measures WHERE the price sits inside its recent range, which is a different question from the RSI beside it: RSI is a momentum gauge, measuring how FAST the price has been moving, so a stock can drift quietly to the bottom of its range with an ordinary RSI, or fall sharply and still sit in the middle. It has been climbing within that range over the last few sessions. | 17.1 |

Volatility
4
| Band width vs its own 6 months | not enough price history yet — needs 59 trading sessions | n/a |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $1.28 between its high and its low — about 1.6% of its price. That is its "average true range" over the last 14 sessions, which also counts the distance from the previous close, so a day that opens well away from yesterday counts as the large move it was | $1.28 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $76.30 and $83.09 — the "Bollinger bands", a range drawn two standard deviations either side of its 20-day average price, which widens when the stock gets more volatile and narrows when it settles | $76.30 – $79.69 – $83.09 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 1.6% in a typical session — among the calmest in the catalog. This is the average gap between a session's high and low over the last 14 sessions, counting overnight moves, expressed against the current price so it can be compared with companies trading at any price | 1.6% |
Candlestick patterns
1
| Since a bearish engulfing | 4 sessions ago it opened above the previous session's close and finished below that session's open — a "bearish engulfing" pair, where one down day more than undid the up day before it | 4 sessions ago |

Price gaps
3
| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-10-08 0.5% above the previous session's close — an overnight gap, the part of the move that happened while the market was shut, and had not traded back through that level by the close | +0.5% |
|---|---|---|
| Open gap | it gapped 3.5% below the previous close 8 sessions ago and has not traded back through the level it left behind at 80.66 — an "unfilled gap", which describes a price range no trade has since crossed and is not a forecast that it will be crossed | -3.5% |
| Gap filled | a 2.2% gap up opened on 2026-09-17 has been "filled" 10 sessions ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it took 5 sessions to close | 10 sessions ago |
Price streaks

| Closing streak | it closed higher in its latest session, after a session that did not close higher — a single up day rather than a run | 1 session up |

Volume-weighted price
1
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 3% below the average price paid since 2026-09-08, so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $80.08 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 23 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -3.0% |

IAU had 6,230,647 shares of reported short interest as of the 2026-09-15 FINRA settlement date (delayed, bi-monthly; not real-time).

- Reported short interest (shares) 6,230,647
- Prior settlement (shares) 5,458,733
- Reported change 14.14%
- Days to cover (reported) 1.07
Reported to FINRA as of the 2026-09-15 settlement date. Short interest is reported to FINRA and published on a delayed, bi-monthly schedule (as of a settlement date, disseminated roughly eight business days later) — it is NOT real-time, does not cover every venue or all US trading, and is not a short-squeeze prediction or investment advice. Days-to-cover is the value FINRA reports; percent of float is not shown because the source file carries no share-count denominator — where a percent appears it is of shares OUTSTANDING, the larger base, and is therefore a floor on percent of float.
