Gold Miners - Catching the retrace downWelcome back guys! Sorry for the inactivity over the last few months, personal life has been quite busy. I should be posting regularly from now on so stay tuned!
*Please see comments for supporting charts*
Gold has gone into a consolidation period after making its massive run up, we should expect to see it trading within the symmetrical triangle for the near future. Right now it’s hard to tell whether the breakout from the triangle will be to the upside or downside, however I will go over several reasons why I think the downside scenario is more likely:
1.) Potential Bottom for Yields
a. The 10yr yields look to have potentially found its bottom. If this is the case, it’ll most likely consolidate around the bottom before making a run upwards, which will have a negative effect on gold.
b. If you look at how the 10yr chart, you’ll see that it recently broke out of a descending wedge pattern. This classic signal usually means a bullish sign, but we’ll have to see if the bottom can hold.
c. The bond market has been contradicting the equity market for a long time now, with bond prices soaring while stocks reach all-time highs. I think it may be time for bond investors to take some profits amid an economy that is still not showing any signs of a major recession.
2.) US Dollar Still Has Room To Run
a. The USD has been trading in a range for about 2 months now and it looks to be developing an inverse head and shoulder pattern within an uptrend.
b. If what the chart is telling us is right, then it means that the next breakout will likely be to the upside, which is also a negative for gold prices.
What does this mean for the miners?
The miners have clearly benefited from the increased gold prices, however they’re also trading in a range currently.
I’ve drawn out the possible paths that the miners could take based on what happens with gold, I’ve entered a small position in $DUST earlier today near the intraday high on $GDX. Will closely monitor the trade in case gold does breakout to the upside instead. I will also be looking to take profit near the first support ($25.08 on $GDX).

A big year ahead for gold minersGood day folks,
This is a comparison I made based on my GLD forecast for the next 12 months. I expect GLD to rise by 5 to 10% before year end. I calculated a few ratios and it appears that GDX moves exponentially with gold price (not a discovery I know). Basically, I wasn’t unable to use a distinct ratio, so I just compared their corresponding prices at the corresponding time.
I concluded that if GLD was raising by approx. 5-10% to my price target of 128 to 134.5, GDX would rise from 26.5 to 28. This is an upside potential of approximately 29 to 37% on the current price!
I am long.
Thank you,
Gold Miners Bullish This SpringThe Miners are getting pulled up by the Precious Metals in their Bear Market rallies. So the Gold Miners should out perform due to leverage on their balance sheets.
The price action is definitely corrective in nature, and the pull backs should be shallow because this is a small degree c-wave. So I'm expecting a top above the (a) wave over a year ago some time this Spring.
For a good video exploring whether to invest in mining stocks or the precious metals themselves, Mike Maloney has a well done video on the subject:

In fact I recommend spending time watching all of Mike Maloney’s videos on the PM’s and money. They are all well worth the time…
GDX Analysis: Bullish Move Not Yet Over?Conclusion for today’s GDX analysis: Price closing above 26.17 implies resumption of the current uptrend in GDX.
The VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) is presented on the Daily timeframe with coverage of over 24 months of price action. The sell off and bearish market in the GDX that began in August of 2016 (not show here), continued until September 11, 2018 after which price failed to establish lower lows and lower highs.
A bullish trendline in GDX that has lasted over 9 months is used to highlight the current trend in the ETF ever since the September 11, 2018 price low of 17.28. The current bullish price swing from the last pivot on the trendline (at ~20.17) reached a peak of 26.17 where price is currently consolidating.
Horizontal lines of support are drawn on the chart where the ETF is expected to use a pivot to resume the bullish trend. They key levels therefore are 25.19, 24.56, 24.02, and 23.54.
The trajectory anticipated for price action is also provided. Failure of support at 23.54 increases the chances of price returning to the bullish trendline prior to resumption of the uptrend.

Long Silver!
GDX monthly - breaks out and looks bullishRSI is in bullish zone, MACD is positive. Much more room to the upside (20% ~ 60%) but limited room to the downside (10% ~ 15%) so from risk/award perspective, it is attractive. I think it might spike fast from this level. IMHO it is a strong buy but do not forget a stop to shield down side risk.

Elliott Wave View: Impulsive Rally in GDXElliott wave view in Gold Miners ETF ($GDX) suggests the pullback to $20.26 ended wave (2). Wave (3) is currently in progress and the internal subdivides as an impulse Elliott Wave structure. Up from $20.26, Wave ((i)) ended at $20.88, wave ((ii)) ended at $20.31 and wave ((iii)) ended at 22.60 peak and wave ((iv)) ended also at 22.16.
We can see from the chart below the internal of wave ((i)) and ((iii)) also subdivide as an impulse in lesser degree. We don't like selling $GDX and expect buyers to appear in 3, 7, or 11 swing as far as pivot at $20.28 low stays intact. In larger time frame, if $GDX can break above Feb 21 peak ($23.70), then it should create a bullish sequence from Sept 11, 2018 low opening up more upside.
