GDX - Resistance and Support zonesThis is a follow up of previous post.
GDX has moved up as expected.
I am trimming my position here. Sharing a couple of parameters I am looking at.
GDX trade ideas
GDXBreakout above 200DMA. Ichimoku cloud on Daily is looking great. I think it is ready for farther advance
GDX is bullish in the long runGDX has broken its counter trendline on the weekly, clearly showing where we can expect the precious metals in the near future. New highs are on the spot in this commodity supercycle.
GDX support zoneRisk vs Reward alert is good here as long as the support zone holds.
GDX broke out of the down trend line / resistance zone, and pulling back to test the zone again.
In EW cycles, GDX looks to be forming micro 3 - 4.
Chart of the Week: GDXGDX is showing both bullish and bearish price action.
GDX reversed off of the 0.5 retracement level from the impulse move up from March 20 to August 20. A reversal at the 0.5 is considered bullish and a buying opportunity. However, I believe there is clearer evidence of a bearish move. A head and shoulders pattern formed in white. GDX looks to of formed a topping pattern. We can forecast targets by taking the height of the head to neckline under the neckline as shown in white. GDX also may of just finished leg B of the ABC move down. The 1 to 1 retracement of leg A and B puts the end of the C wave at around $21-22 the same expected target for the head and shoulders. Starting of with a small short position.
GDX moves in turn with EEM and TIPS ( Treasury Inflation Protected), I am expecting eventual downward moves in these also.
US10Y yields and Gold Miners (GDX)Gold is an inflation hedge, so expect to see XAUUSD rising as the CPI and PCE data prints show consistent prints above 2% on average for the year.
US10 year yields steepen against the 2-year yield as short-term inflation expectations are crushed by QE and low-interest rates but medium-term inflation risks are starting to show their presence in the cost of commodities, materials, and rising wages. The Fed is adamant that the current signs of inflation will be transitory and as the base effects from last year fall out of the year-on-year data readings the inflationary pressures will ease.
Gold producers on the COT report had trimmed their short positions from the beginning of 2021 until April but have started selling more again as the price of Gold bounced off $1700, which make me feel that the range between $1700 to $1900 is here to stay for a while longer.
One way to try and capitalise on the price of Gold without the need for it to break $2k necessarily is to invest in a Royalty or Streaming company. With prices for mining output already set, the Royalty companies can still make money even when the gold price is falling. They don't operate mines themselves, and so the huge infrastructure and operating costs do not fall to them.
GDX - Gold Stocks picking up steamGDX is attempting to break north of the channel/flag today. We need to see if it holds in the next couple of days - if it does will likely add to existing precious metals/pm stocks/long positions. Large caps will lead small caps so GDXJ will be the place to be.. This has the potential to be the beginning of a large move higher..
GDX need to break 36.50 would be bullishGDX shows signs of completion of downtrend has crossed 50 dma and 20 EMA this week. This makes GDX bullish for next week for a target 35...Above 36.5 closure will lead to wave 3 rally ...to reach a target of 60.
Elliot wave correct of 1.764% have been completed for GDX.. but i will turn bullish longer term above 36.5...
Buy at the checkmark tomorrowLooks like a solid back-test of some heavy resistance. Buy 4/20/21 in the AM if there is any more pullback - 35.25-35.45 entry.
GDX breaking out from a multimonth down-trendAMEX:GDX is looking promising with today's breakout from a downward channel that started in August 2020, with OANDA:XAUUSD closing above resistance of USD 1760.
GDX: In the Arc We TrustAMEX:GDX has formed long-term support that has been built upon the arc shown in the chart. Should this arc prove to be true and continue to hold, it will lead us to our SCOTCHstocks initial target range of $52-$60.
Everything shared here is my own opinion and no results are guaranteed. Good luck!
Gold Miner ETF Hitting TrendlineGold miners are one of the worst-performing corners of the market this year. They’ve bounced recently, creating a potential opportunity for the bears.
This chart of the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF shows the downward-sloping trendline in place since August. Notice how prices are stalling after touching it again.
Second, the 100-day simple moving average (SMA) is around the same level. This is similar to its last intermediate peak in early January.
Third, notice how stochastics show an overbought condition.
Finally, the current zone around $34 has a lot of relevance running back to last summer. It’s where prices rallied out of a bullish flag in June and then held in late November. It remained the bottom through February. If GDX remains below it, the verdict could be: “old support, new resistance.”
The macro backdrop is also negative for gold because the economy is rebounding and earnings are expected to surge this reporting season.

time to go long GDXThere is a double bottom that has formed in the GOLD spot price itself.
The best way to play this is GDX in my opinion. This has been sold off heavily and looks to be ready to break the downtrend with the combination of the double bottom in the gold bullion prices that will allow the miners to have even more pricing power in this inflationary time.
I'd also include Cathie Woods ARKX space etf has had a historic launch with massive inflows. There will be more demand for gold with the space components needed to explore the next frontier. If you analyze the underlying holdings of ARKX, it is very intriguing. A lot has to do with the actual manufacturing of the spacecraft. Only a small position in SPCE.
GDXWe are above 50DMA and we just broke out of a parallel channel. 0.5 Fib. Ret and original Pitch Fork show $38.57 next resistance price. Good luck
