GDX trade ideas

Gold Miners Have Been SnoozingPrecious metals surged earlier in the year as Covid-19 hammered the economy. They’ve snoozed the last few months but could now be setting up for further gains. The main feature on VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF is its broad triangle forming since the summer. It hasn’t broken out yet, but is worth watching. Next, GDX has found support at its 100-day simple moving average (SMA). Meanwhile, it’s trying to fight its way up and above the shorter-term 8- and 21-day exponential moving averages (EMAs). Will the longer-term bullish trend reassert itself against the shorter-term bearish/neutral trends? Finally, you have intermarket conditions: a weak U.S. dollar . The greenback has paused for the last month as traders waited and hoped for a GDP-jolting stimulus package. So far it’s been elusive, and jobless claims have ticked higher. Meanwhile China is steady and Europe has the potential for Brexit resolution in coming weeks. All of those factors argue in favor of a weaker dollar, which in turn would typically support gold miners.

Will the miners offer one more dip?I am wildly bullish on the miners and precious metals over the longer term but I suspect another corrective leg down. GDX has been forming a giant ascending wedge from 2013-2020 and just broke out of that pattern this year. The drop in March was just a small piece of that puzzle that flushed a lot of new & experienced traders out of the trade. I pointed out several times that it was potentially an extremely good buying opportunity. That turned out to be true and the miners have been one of my best trades this year. I'm not an expert on Elliott Wave Theory but I'm seeing what looks like 5 waves up that completed in August. Perhaps now price is still stuck in some type of correction before a much larger move takes place. Take note of the red flag on my lower indicator. There's clearly a trend there and price has not dropped enough to complete another touch. There's no rule that says it must but it's just something to watch. Be patient. Be smart. Do YOUR OWN homework. Follow price. Ignore emotion... and get ready!
