QUICK POST

Wanted to mention before the close…

This is a slam down and a reversal.  Was it the lows for now on this pullback? Downside MAY be done. 

GLD

 

GDX – I have used the 8sma in the past and we did tag it on GDX today.  FOMC is still tomorrow,  and we may get more downside to the 10 or 20 sma ,  but if you sold positions, you MIGHT want to think about the Miners you have been wanting.

GDX now

 

Yes, with the FOMC minutes release tomorrow,  we could see one more drop.  Look at todays shake out. They could do that tomorrow,  below todays lows and still be fine on the gold chart.  THAT would tag the $1100 area where the 10sma is,  thats how they get lower prices,  they run stops and buy the positions lost by those stopped out.  

GOLD Intraday 8-18

 

BUT WILL MINERS SELL OFF MUCH?  I want to release this before the close for any who wanted to buy a pullback.  Today was a pullback,  tomorrow “MIGHT” be another.  There is always a chance that the FOMC release causes a jump & not a drop.

It is decision time for some.  Have a great evening!

        Hi Maria. Just out of interest…as a newbie!!…are you seeing potentially 4 down out of a possible 5 from the lower peak on the chart. If so I assume that is to make the C wave of a possible ABC minor correction from the peak at 18.25. If I’ve got that right then I can understand your champagne thoughts!! 😉

            Don’t worry. I’m confusing myself now!! Just appreciated this is a x3 leveraged bear ETF for Junior gold miners. So the last thing I want is for this to rally!! Lol Been at my PC for 11 hours now. I think maybe it’s time I started to think about closing down before I make anymore school boy errors!!! Lol 😉

    This is a tough one. Gold and miners just look like a normal corrective move after the initial surge off the ICL. The attack this morning however did some damage to silver and may have forced a daily cycle top. The question is does silver drag gold and miners back down, or do gold and the miners pull silver back up?

    On the positive side even if another attack on tomorrow’s Fed minutes breaks the rally and forces another daily cycle down to 1030 it would just mean the intermediate rally would ultimately be even more powerful.

    You can only hold the beachball underwater for so long before it launches towards the sky 🙂
