Between posting trade ideas, market commentary in addition to my own trading (as well as combing thru dozens of charts today), I don’t have the time to post commentary & charts on all significant developments and so I just wanted to share a few things that stand out:
- GLD, SLV & GDX have all solidly taken out those key resistance areas that were discussed in yesterday’s video. This is unarguably bullish price action in the precious metals & mining sector & I do plan to follow-up with some charts and additional thoughts soon. With all of the recent whipsaw signals lately, I’m watching to see how the metals & miners follow up over the next couple of days, ideally to see if today’s breakouts above resistance hold. An ideal entry or add-on to a GDX long position would be on a pullback anywhere from near today’s low of 15.57 down to around yesterday’s high of 15.28 (i.e.- a backfill of today’s gap), with a stop somewhat below that level. As I often stress, it is important to make the proper beta-adjustment to your position size when trading the extremely volatile mining stocks, especially if trading individual miners or the leveraged ETFs in lieu of GDX.
- USO (crude oil ETF) still looks poised for a nice oversold rally if/when prices break above the 60 minute bullish falling wedge pattern that was posted yesterday.
- JJC (copper ETF) also still looks poised for a potentially sharp oversold rally (or more), with an long entry to come on the previously posted downtrend line.
- Regarding the broad markets, my read on the charts indicates that as ugly (or pretty, depending on how one is positioned) things look at this point (QQQ down 2.22% as I type), it appears that we are likely to get another leg down today which would take out the LOD so far of 107.46.
