Long Gold Miners GDX for a 12% RallyGDX is showing signs of a break higher as it approaches its downward trend, but doing so at a steady pace. Investors are building long positions. Perhaps with North Korea flinging rockets in Japan's waters, weaker earnings out US & Europe, the seasonal weakness of summer.. it all smacks of enough uncertainty for a flow back in the Gold.

Jnug to gold "I dont think we are finished dropping yet"I was on vacation out of the country for the last week so I have not been able to update anything. But there really was not much to update. So to cut to the chase, it is my feeling that we are not finished dropping yet for gold. I am expecting gold to drop into oversold on the RSI 14 and also drop below the march low before having a legitimate bounce. So lets look at todays action. Gold burst up but miners barely moved. That should raise eyebrows and signal caution if you are looking to go long. If you are dead set on going long, what would it hurt to wait a little bit for confirmation. If you are wrong, then it will hurt a lot if my opinion is correct and Gold and Jnug drop. It appears to me that Jnug is working out its wave 4 and should provide a 5th wave soon. We have a short term bounce playing out from a small bullish divergence from last week. But there is a larger hidden bearish divergence that has formed and that should be respected. And as for gold, well, I am not going to repeat myself again, but I am waiting for it to drop to the longer term trend line which is in the mid 1170's at this point.
There is a large gap that formed this morning by the way. There is also that gap above. I wouldnt be surprised to see jnug fill the upper gap before dropping but I am hoping to be spared the agony of waiting any longer. I am also expecting gold to drop thanks to the breakout in the broader market. By the way, I called that. GL on your trading
GDXJ at key crossroad - will 31.37 support hold?!GDXJ closed right above 31.37 support so guessing it will test it tomorrow but it'll have to break the long uptrend from its lowest point in Dec. 2015 to get there which makes this a key point for determining if long uptrend will be broken in line with shorter term downtrend. Either it breaks down & has a long way to fall or it bounces off either the long uptrend line around 31.5 or maybe the 31.37 support & moves up in resistance ranges. If it closes below both those levels tomorrow, Monday will either be start of real bloodbath or strong rebound per my reading of the above chart...either way, we're approaching the intersecting point of the long uptrend with the downtrend from high in Dec. 2016 so looks like big move coming either way!
Anybody with experience PLEASE share thoughts on how to hedge a big individual miner/precious metal allocation (currently at loss) if this breaks down over the coming days!! Still bullish long but def. want to reduce the bleeding if this falling knife is about to pick up speed!! THANK YOU! Til then, might keep cutting losses wth some riskier miners if it breaks levels above!
GOLD/GDX/GDXJ - GOLD SECTOR NEAR TERM GAMEPLANGold stocks have been super-weak since the big top in August of last year. One could argue that last year's bull run was just a bear market rally. I made several attempts to play this sector on the long side since January but even as gold made new highs around 1300, gold stocks failed to make new highs and just sat there - a big warning sign.
We can expect the Dollar to make a cycle low soon and then gold will have a hard time rallying for the next months. This might be a good shorting opportunity for people who are into shorting. I'm not shorting but instead waiting for a good buying opportunity on the long side (as noted in my chart above. We might even get a stop run of the December lows. I am trying to be prepared when that happens!
Jnug to Gold "Crash next week"I know I have been reading a lot about the big move in gold. And everyone has been biased bullish except for a few. I am more beaish today than I was last week. The time for the big move is next week in my opinion. I hate having to wait like this but the markets are on their own schedule. So the reason that I am into the bear camp, aside from the fact that we got rejected a few weeks ago from the false breakout like I knew we would, is that the 50 DMA is looking like it will cross the 100 DMA next July 5th or 6th. That cross means something. And the big money will show everyone what that means. This dump will be fast and swift and Miners will get taken down with it. I am of the opinion that miners will make lowers lows than last May and even get lower than last December. I really think Jnug could get down to the $8.15 range before we get a bounce.
The second reason that I am bearish for the big move is that we have not competed an Intermediate cycle low. And we are way past due. There is no more time left for this to have another daily cycle. SO this is where the cycle analysis helps and guides me. As you will soon see, when I am right about this, you will not rely on just Elliot Wave or on any other single thing. You have to include cycles. If you ignore cycles then you ignore nature. Cycles happen whether we like it or not. And nature seems to find a way to put us in our place.
Jnug to Gold "FOMC meeting and Brexit talks"
This is a tough spot for me to possibly predict any directional movement. While I do think that Jnug will drop at the beginning of the week and probably touch the $16.80 level with the help from gold dropping, the Fed decision is weighing on me. Just about everywhere I read it says that the Fed will raise rates on Wednesday. If they do raise rates then I think it is safe to say that gold will finally and truly breakout and stay up this time around. This would take Jnug up with it somewhere along the blue arrow. However,.....we have been having weaker data than was expected, and on around June 20th, the Brexit talks begin. Since there is a lot of turmoil throughout Europe right now, I am wondering if these factors will have the Fed wait on a rate hike this week. They waited last year right before the Brexit vote so maybe they will wait again.
Another thing is ....on a purely technical analysis perspective, gold still has not completed a true Intermediate cycle low (ICL). The RSI on the weekly has to get to the oversold level and the medium term trend lines are supposed to be broken before calling a ICL. All we have had are two good DCL's. I am leaning bearish for both gold and Jnug for the next couple of weeks as I am thinking that the Fed does not raise rates. I also think that the weaker inflation index's may also keep the Fed at bay.
On my Jnug chart I am showing the possible wedge a,b,c,d,e forming. It appears that we are dropping into the "d" and that would mean a small "e" pop. Usually when "e" is up, then what comes next is a breakdown. The BBands are still constricted. So a big move is still imminent. But nothing is for certain at this point. A few days ago I said it was safe to be short Gold. And I stand by that call until Wednesday morning. But it is probably safe at that point to wait on the sidelines to see what the Fed decides before going long or short for a longer term trade. If there is no Fed rate hike then I think that gold will finally fall into its ICL and get down to the 1165 - 1170 range before bouncing. I think that would happen in late June. That drop would tank Jnug and probably follow my red arrows.
GL on whatever you decide to do
Jnug to Gold "Breakout??!!"
Well gold finally broke through the 5 year resistance downtrend line. But what matters is how we close the day and if there is follow through tomorrow. If this drops back under 1290 and we start tanking, then I would bet this continues to drop hard. This could be a false breakout designed to get everyone to go long. Do you doubt the big money does not know this? I am fairly certain that we are in the final 5th wave still. It has gone higher than I anticipated. Oh well. I am not going long because I believe this will fail. I am bummed that I got out of Jnug. If you remember, I was saying that I thought Jnug was going to test the red zone around $20 and then drop. I got out when I saw Jnug fail below a certain level. Looks like I took the fake out bait on that move . Oh well. I will wait. I am looking for Jnug to be at around $16 by Friday. If gold closes green and keeps running, I will wait for a pull back before going long.
As I write this, there is a large bearish divergence on the RSI 5 and also as gold correlates with miners. The question is, will miners catch up over the next week or is this going to fall short again. I bet short. GL
Jnug to Gold "BBands tightening again, Big move coming soon"Yes a big move is coming soon and I think that that big move is down. Last Fridays poor price action for Jnug is the writing on the wall. With such a strong break up for gold, Jnug should have behaved better than that if there was strength. So while I think gold will continue up towards the top of its wedge, I think Jnug may not perform that well. I wont guess on a price top for early next week but I will be monitoring it closely. Then I will sell my Jnug and buy JDST. I am hoping that Jnug can retest the red zone again and hit the $20 area but I am losing faith in the ability for it to fill that upper gap. The JDST gains should be very large over the next two weeks starting after Tuesday is my guess. I am fully expecting Jnug to drop all the way down to $9.40 - $8.15 range. I am looking for GDXJ to drop to first test the December lows of $27.47 range. If that breaks then I would look to $26.35 range. If for some reason we actually get that low, then there would be nothing that I can see stopping a drop until $21. To put things into perspective. Since Jnug tracks GDXJ. If GDXJ drops to the $27.47 range, that would be a 14.8% drop. On February 24th and 27th, GDXJ dropped 13.6% in two days which translated into Jnug dropping 36.66% in two days. That would bring Jnug down to $10.95. And I think we will go lower than that and get to the $9.35 to $8.14 range. If we get to $8.14, that would affectively be a retest of the 2015 lows for Jnug (reverse split included).
After we get down there then I fully expect the Fed to raise rates and we get another rally. But it seems that the rallies are smaller and smaller. This once might be very short lived, maybe a month or two at the most?! That's a little two far in the future but I have been predicting that gold has not started its bull market and that gold will drop hard into early next year.
I will post my GDXJ chart and Gold chart next. GL
Jnug to Gold 5/22/17I decided to start with the gold chart today. We have once again closed above the 50 week MA, which is the thick blue line. I am looking for price to move above 1264.75 to confirm that we are in a wave 5. If that is confirmed, probably overnight, then I am targeting that yellow box area for a top for gold. Then we should turn down with a vengeance. I am not one that believes that we just completed a ICL a couple of weeks ago. Price is supposed to break the trend line not bounce off of it. Plus we have a rate hike coming up in June and as is typical gold behavior, gold drops until the day of the rate hike and then rallies pretty hard. So if I am correct, and gold pushes up to that yellow box, this should help Jnug finally rally past that red resistance area. It will have a hard time moving much higher than the gap fill due to the BBands being already compressed and the 50 DMA up there as well. Lets see how tomorrow goes.
Jnug chart will be posted next.
If XAUUSD continues up, GDXJ to $34 then ShortCompare this up movement to March. The first reversal in gold has the most impact on miners. Miners shoot up and then the first sign of weakness, they drop. Miners don't even touch the edge of the triangle until the second leg up.
Miners will be sideways/sliding down until one last drop, then i think the rocket is ready for launch
TREND SIGNAL = LONG, MAY 10 @ $30.95 ($GDXJ $JNUG $GLD $NUGT)May 15: Miners continue their run up from the early May lows. Today opened at the 50 MA and turned down hard. But the bulls stepped back in to end the day nicely above the 5 MA. From here it needs it needs break through the 50 MA to head towards a couple gap fills above. On the downside it would be rather bearish to see this break todays low. One could possibly try an entry here with today's low as a stop loss point.
