Gold Miners Trying to Hold it up! $GDX$GDX Looks to me like it is going through a 2 and half week to 3 week consolation cycle before continuing its rally, that started with a breakout and subsequent bull market end of January, start of February. (Which was right about when I got into trading more seriously.) I am unsure of which way to go here. This Brexit thing has been an incredible learning curve for me on my travels. But also rather hard to place any trades. In-fact, I have only been able to place minor scalps (not my strategy, I tend not to do this. Again, learning curve.) on FX markets and a couple of futures lost me some profit.
I like Gold stocks for obvious reasons, (economy, safe havens. etc.) So the miners index is an interesting one.
I would wager the long side long term. Short term? It needs a bit of a reality check before we see further upside. I expect other markets to retrace from their losses soon but not for long. So Gold will (maybe!?) continue it's uptrend for the rest of 2016. I am strapping in for a bumpy one.

Gold in Intermediate ViewXAUUSD has been in a bear market since it reached 1920.80. The bear cycle has the pattern WXY which it already finished wave W by reaching 1046.23. Luckily I didn't witness that period, I would had thought XAUUSD was going to moon before it collapsed :-\
XAUUSD is in X wave now, in a minor degree x which I set three targets for it as shown in the chart.
Best Wishes

GDX: Time at mode uptrend with two targetsGDX has traced a nice accumulation pattern, after the monthly downtrend expired in September 2015.
It's currently confirming a time at mode uptrend which aims for two possible targets, 23.21 and 30.67.
Considering the monthly downtrend mode resistance sits at 23.89, the first target seems way more likely to get hit.
I'm long from a discretionary entry I took a day ago, but you can enter either now, or on a slight retracement, with stops under 19.51.
Good luck if taking this trade.
Cheers,
Ivan Labrie.
Gold/Silver Ratio 4/20/2016The big direction of this ratio is obviously down, and there are only three ways this ratio can go down: 1. Silver going up and Gold going down; 2. Silver going up more than Gold going up; 3. Gold going down more than Silver going down. #3 is very unlikely and #2 is most likely. Personally, I'm long both metals.
GDX WEEKLY CHART -- MINERS BREAKOUT, CASH WONT BE KING FOR LONGWith all the NIRP's and ZIRP's flying around in an economy based off fraud and debt, this was expected, and now we have the start of the technical indicators to back it up :)
My target area Short Term is 25-28:
- We have the 23% fib retracement from our move down from our All Time Highs in 2011.
- Weekly 200 ma
- Solid price action (horizontal black lines)
- Broke out of our channel to the upside that start in June 2013
-- If tomorrow (April 12th) holds above this channel, that's when I shoot my final bullet
- The top of our bigger channel is in this area
Feel free to comment with questions or ideas :)
Happy Trading!
GDXJ Potential Short SetupThe Junior Gold Minors GDXJ finished a wave 3 down on the daily chart. It has now completed an abc correction into wave 4. The MTPredictor indicators generated a TS2 automatic sell signal at 27.14 with a stop at 29.77. The initial target is 21.99 which is the minimum wave 5 target. If price does not hit 27.14 (the entry) and instead moves above 29.77 first, then the trade is invalidated.
If the Swiss referendum fails, we may see further declines in these stocks.
Now that BearWhale (Draper?) has exited — are we est new supportThe accumulation is actually up, which hopefully means people are buying at this level, establishing a new support.
I'm not jazzed about a $330-350 support level, but it's better than not knowing where the floor is at.
Still, my miners are shut down, until it's cool enough to use them for heating, or BTC goes above $400 again.
