GDX Clearly broken out - Targeting 46As shown in the daily GDX chart, the turquoise trend lines mark the support resistance trend lines, as well as show a standard flag pattern. Previous upside target in 2019 was 36, it now is upgraded to 46, based on chart pattern and Fibonacci projections.
Recent price action saw a gap above the trend line resistance, and consolidation before yet another gap up (over a minor parallel trend line resistance).
Also observed that MACD is supportive with a break up cross into the bullish territory, and a break above the MACD trend line at about the same time.
Bullish, target 46, around mid-August 2020.
GDX trade ideas
Keep an eye on GDXGDX is the ETF for gold miners.
This sector has been beaten down severely since its 2010-11 highs, when everyone was hedging against printing from Bernanke. If only we knew then what Powell would have become...
GDX has broken out the $32 resistance, which has acted as a strong support in the last month.
If Gold AUG futures (left axis, in orange) manage to get through the $1800 resistance, it is just a matter of time before we get in the mid 40s. That would represent my target in a few months, especially given that the equities market is not pricing in at all the possibility that Democrats take Senate and Presidency.
Buy GDX or even better long term calls dur to the recent consolidation.
Gold Miners GDX just broke out - Target 46With almost a 30% upside full potential, the GDX broke out of a down trend resistance line, with MACD crossing over into the bullish territory. The GDX also nicely bounce off the 55EMA and registered a recent higher high.
System Buy signal activated.
Rather bullish signal, don’t you think?
Projections put the upside target at 46, with pauses along the way.
Gold Miners Looking to Confirm the Bullish BreakoutGDX has broken out of multi-year triangle that formed a solid base since 2015. If gold continues marching towards all time highs, I think GDX can hold the breakout here. Perhaps it will cool off for a couple weeks after the rapid rise, but then I'm looking for the move to low $40's on the way to $60+
Positions:
GDX 1/15/21 40c
GDX shares
Reassess if falls back into the triangle (convincingly <$30)
GDX hedge / shortIf GDX can not get above 35.5 (yellow tile), there is a chance the prior down wave from 38-31 is five and 35.5 is prior 4th wave.
GDX really has to get above it, otherwise we may face the so called 3rd wave.
I'd like to use Aug 28 or 29 as hedge (already loaded some today, and I already convert my long to vertical spread), if truly 3rd wave, target is 25 ish. Can be 6-7x easily.
GDX : HEDGE FOR MARKET UNCERTAINTIESGDX is a fund that invests at least 80% of its total assets in common stocks and depositary receipts of companies involved in the gold mining industry. Miners have lagged actual Gold prices (XAUUSD) potentially due to operational risks affected by COVID19. The chart now looks set-up for a move higher to catch up with gold spot price as it breaks out from consolidation.
In times of an extended market and uncertainties, it's never a bad idea to hedge positions with exposure in gold to be well-prepared when the market turns.
GDX - IMPENDING DOOM!!We can see from this chart that price is ready to drop!
It has hit a key level of support and bounced off, it has tested this area several times before going higher each time.
The last time this level was broken it was a freefall to the bottom.. The next time the drop may be even greater!!
Get the sell stops in!
