GDX trade ideas

GDX - Support at Control Line?As a follow up to my many GDX posts, it was rejected hard at the 2016 high around 32 and looks to be trading around the low 27's this morning. The selloff is similar to that of 2016 and there is plenty of room to drop into the next channel as GDX looks to find support and build a base. It's counterpart NUGT is around 27 as well with a similar chart having fallen from 43 just a few days ago. Selling seems exacerbated. Not sure what the next move is from here but sidelined myself earlier in the week and waiting for a good opportunity to re-enter. Own DUST until I can pick a spot to go long.

Gold Miners Try to Bounce at Old HighGold miners are the classic "safe haven" sector. Not surprisingly, they've moved higher as coronavirus drives pretty much everything else lower. Market Vectors Gold Miner ETF is the go-to instrument for most traders, with deep liquidity and very heavy options volume. (GDX averages about 140,000 contracts a day, more than triple the runner-up, Barrick Gold , according to TradeStation data.) GDX has had some interesting patterns on both its weekly and daily charts. On the weekly, it formed an inside candle the week ended February 14, followed by a breakout. That means volatility calmed as prices squeezed, but then it started moving again. GDX quickly spiked to a seven-year high of $31.84 before pulling back to test the early-January highs $29.70. If this level holds, it would mean old resistance is new support -- another bullish signal. Remember that GDX rallied hard between last May and August (after years of going nowhere). It then spent six months digesting those moves. The current price action could signal the consolidation is complete and now a continuation to the upside may be expected next.

Elliott Wave View : GDX Looking to Extend HigherShort term Elliott wave view in GDX ETF suggests the rally from January 14, 2020 low in wave (3) has ended at 31.98 high. The cycle unfolded as a 5 waves impulse Elliott Wave structure. Up from January 14 low, wave ((i)) ended at 28.67 and pullback in wave ((ii)) ended at 27.92. The ETF resumed higher in wave ((iii)) which ended at 30.10. After that, wave ((iv)) pullback ended at 29.50 and the final leg wave ((v)) of C ended at 31.98. Currently, the ETF is correcting that cycle in wave (4). The correction is unfolding as a zig-zag. Wave A of (4) has ended at 30.41 and subdivides in lesser degree 5 waves. Wave ((i)) of A ended at 31.10 and wave ((ii)) ended at 31.74. The ETF then continued lower in wave ((iii)), which ended at 30.66. Then, the bounce in wave ((iv)) ended at 31.14. The push lower in wave ((v)) ended at 30.41. From there, the ETF then bounced in wave B, which ended at 31.16. Potential area to end wave C of (4)) is 100% – 161.8% Fibonacci extension from February 24 high which comes at 28.64 – 29.60 area. From this area, GDX can then extend higher or at least bounce in 3 waves.

Gold ETF (Long Term Trade Idea)This trade idea goes hand in hand with my previous trade idea of the stock market. Technical analysis is showing signs that the stock market may be nearing the end of its historic bull run. This chart of gold provides further support for this position. Smart money has started taking a more protective position and this is showing in the chart of gold. The second golden cross is a very strong signal that there will be a continuation of strength that could last years. My recommended trade on this ETF would be to buy into a break of the previous peak at $30 for a target of $50-$60.

Gold miners - laggards in a rallyGold is rallying very hard, and the GDX Gold miners ETF is lagging behind. It is only a matter of time before it catches up, and is already beginning that catch up journey. This morning, it is up 1.5% and launching off, after a higher low bounce off a support region (grey box). Technicals are supportive, as is correlation to Gold prices. The MACD crossed up after consolidation. By next week, it should be breaking out over the trendline, and upside is >15% to target.

#gold consolidates in $1630s miners lag min 10% $GDX $NUGT $DUSTIt is uncharacteristic for the miners to lag in this way, usually, it goes the other way around. The explanation is simply that the S&P is near all-time highs and has signaled repeatedly to short the gold mining companies and ETFs. GDX resistance in the $31 region is not likely to hold this time. Gold miners are seeing all-time record profits due to gold reaching new all-time highs in every currency but the US dollar ( XAUUSD ) and Swiss Franc ( XAUCHF .) Most mining costs are incurred in other currencies where gold has been hitting all-time highs repeatedly for many months. Shorting of the miners are will be bad for business as these levels are pierced.
