GDX
GOLD likely to breakout before June! Target $1520 (GC1! GLD)Hey,
We've long been waiting for this inverse head & shoulders to come to fruition. As we can see, we broke out of the downtrend in 2016 but the 1360-1365 neckline has been tested multiple times. Finally it seems like we're ready to break out, how do we know?
1. The last low has not hit the ascending support of the latest move up. This means it's likely getting closer for a parabolic move.
2. GLD 130 & 131 May Calls are starting to get bought pretty heavily.
3. Consistent new short term highs and lows.
I went ahead and started building a GLD call position into the end of today. I distributed them at $128-130 from May-July.
Long GT.caExcellent set up here. Broke over the double top trend line, back tested the trend line and now seems to be curling back up. Lots of room to run. Trigger at 0.77 with no much over head resistance since november 2017.
Gold fighting the DollarExactly opposite of what's happening with the Dollar. Gold is clinging to it's downtrend channel upper slopes. Fighting the dollar on every move. This has been very exhaustive for both assets. Yet the technicals are in the dollars camp for now. Gold should give us one last buying opportunity.
OPENING: GDX SEPT 21ST 19 LONG/MARCH 29TH 22 SHORT PUT DIAGONAL... for a .03/contract credit.
Another small, defined risk neutral to bullish assumption directional a la the XOP diagonal I just put on. (See Post Below).
As with the XOP trade, shooting for the long maintaining at least 50% of its value at expiry of the shortie at or near worthless or (alternatively) its value exceeding the value of the shortie by .32/contract at some point.
Jnug to Gold "bottom was on target, now where"So we bottomed at $11.37. I was thinking somewhere between the $11.50 - $11.30 range. So that worked out well. But it appears to me that we only completed wave three down and still have to do wave 4 and 5. So wave 4 should top a little over the $14 dollar mark before dropping to a much lower low...(too early to call but maybe in the mid $8 range).
Long (GDX) Opportunity - Contrarian?Gold has been an under-performer in the uncertain global markets
However, structurally long $GDX offers significant upside
We have outlined trade which can be accessed on profile however a summary is provided
-2 Month Call skew 2.22 standard deviations above its 1 year mean
-2 Month implied volatility is near mid-range (64th percentile over the last year)
-GDX is a leveraged play against global central banks falling behind the inflation curve
-COT report shows that gold producers have been getting longer
Interested in all thoughts & analysis on our idea.
NUGT Long idea!If you have cash, and have been sitting on the sidelines, here's a low risk opportunity. I know its hard to chart NUGT (3x) its better to track GDX. BUT, the trend line looks to be support. GDX is having a stop run below a double bottom. Im buying NUGT today watching intently for buyers to come into the market and wisk this 3x higher at the close.
GDX Long Head and Shoulders Long Term BottomPlaying long here, entering today, i have been following gold minders for years and I think we are close to breaking this inverse head and shoulders bottom pattern. Market is topping, cryptos are in bear market rally mode, gold will have its day in the spot light.
Buying the dips, going heavy long.
Lets make some money!
Cheers!
Gold Miners Long Swing Trade
I went long on $NUGT after the test of key support today. I always keep my trading simple and this is as simple as it gets. I am recommending traders buy the gold miners above key support with a tight stop loss and a target near the upper resistance of the 2017 trading range.
GDX and the USD directionAttached are two charts for discussion. GDX seems to have formed a 3 drive pattern which would put its target at 0.618% fibo retracement. So, not there yet, but soon. The USD seems to be in a BULL FLAG, completion should be soon. So, short GDX now seems the way to go, but not for long.
