So That’s How The Internet Works
This report is all about How the internet works, and Gold, Silver and Miners.
.
This is how the internet works…
GDX – This was from my weekend report, and I showed how the 10sma could be tagged by GDX and the drop would back test the trend line. Totally normal, so we were ready.
.
GDX MONDAY – When it actually happened, this was exactly what we knew should happen. Well, the internet lit up with Bearish chatter. I was hearing that Gold was about to get crushed, Miners were ‘crashing’ , and the USD was rallying! T-H-A-T is how the internet works now, fear breeds fear. Is this soooooo bad?
Well lets discuss Tuesday and see …
GOLD – I have mentioned that Gold has been strong , holding up while the USD rallied. It used to be that the USD would pop a little, and Gold would be down $30. Lately we’ve seen GOLD GREEN and the USD GREEN. Tuesday morning was no exception.
Gold ran higher, re-gained the 200sma and the 10sma, and looks ready to break out.
1. I really want to see price continue to close above $1268 ( 200sma) and
2. move above $1275.90 to make a new high on day 12 or more.
Lets say that this daily cycle lasts 24 days, a higher price over day 13 makes this Right Translated ( R.T.) and gives it bullish character. With Gold moving above the 200sma and holding up as the USD rallied, all I am hearing is that Gold is going to roll over and ‘Plunge” to new lows into November. So far I see signs of life, but lets look at more charts.
REMINDER – I told you I’d use this chart again. 🙂 The ICL of DEC 2015 was B-R-U-T-A-L as it was just bouncing off of the lows, threatening to give way to lower price for weeks. Oh, and believe me, ‘The Internet’ was declaring the whole time that GOLD would NOT be able to go higher without first breaking below $1000, maybe hitting $800. That’s how the internet works. Almost no one would buy this low until Gold went below $1000. (We did).
USD – The USD actually looks like it wants to extend above 100. Can Gold continue to resist this rally?
The USD is extended and is due to drop into a DCL, and Tuesday looked like a topping candle. If Gold and Miners have done well holding up with the USD rallying, what will they do if the USD drops? What if it doesn’t keep dropping and bull flags like it did recently, only to continue higher? This is the conundrum that we have been dealing with so far.
SILVER – Silver has also been building a floor or a mini base as the USD rallied.
GDX – Yesterdays fear and panic was erased in 1 day. GDX tagged the 10 sma Monday and held above the 200sma. Tuesday was Day 10.
.
So to further examine the evidence, we need to do more than just fearfully watch The USD and GOLD. Lets look for clues in a number of Miners. Do they look weak and ready to roll over? Are any strong or healthy with the USD running higher and a low due in Golds cycle? And if you ask me, many of them are lining up bullishly.
.
XRA – This consolidation has actually held up very well. Nice 7% pop Tuesday too. Low risk buy since it is basing out. It is holding up well and can be bought here or buy a break above the 50sma.
BVN – BVN didnt even drop 38% during the Gold collapse in early Oct. This is a large bull flag / triangle type consolidation.
HL – Break out and tag of the 50sma pointed out Monday. Is it OK?
HL – Tuesday it was fine thank you.
IAG – Also pointed out yesterday as a strong leader. It hardly dropped in Mondays dip.
IAG – Strong out of the Oct 7th lows.
GSS – This Miner under $1 will not be under $1 for long if you ask me, after this long consolidation, it looks ready to go. Notice that the lows for GSS are on Sept 1st.
GSS WKLY – People think that GSS died. It ran from 14 cents to $1.13, it has only been resting .
BTG – Up 7% and a break out above the 50sma also. Notice that this is a $2.92 stock almost $1 above the Oct lows. That is 35% off of the Oct lows with the USD rising? Bullish.
AAU – This tiny pop is up 8%, and it looks like it has further to go.It is still at the lows so it is a lower risk / reward buy.
AG – Attempted to break out Tuesday. Also still near the lows as a low risk / reward buy.
So many bullish charts in miners and there are more. GPL Looks Great too.
.
Seeing is believing and what I am seeing is a line up of Bullish Miners and a Gold chart that is holding string while the USD rallies. This has me believing that an ICL has been put in place despite the USD rallying. I expect the USD to drop into a dcl, and if it does, Gold should lose any resistance that may currently be holding it back. I have been adding on the dip, and the risk / reward is good. Stops are below recent lows and reward could be 2 or 3 Months of higher prices. By now, even if you are rather conservative, you should AT LEAST have started a few positions with all of the evidence that I have been posting. I want to see Gold break above $1275.90 this week to build even more confidence that Gold is strong not weak. Thanks for being a Chartfreak and keep your eyes on the prize, not the internet. 🙂

Mnga, any opinions at this point. Still in a holding pattern?
Broke out from the base above 70 cents, still above the 10sma . That remains positive
Expectations for MNGA ( refresh)

sweet chart
Earnings announcement* for AMRS: Nov 03, 2016. Amyris, Inc. is estimated to report earnings on 11/03/2016.
Thx Bill
Good morning, Alex – Thanks for another good CF report!
You mention that if gold makes a higher high on day 13, it would likely be right translated in a possible 24-day DC
Does that mean your expectation is for gold to have a DC top this week?
I’m trying to reconcile that thought with the idea that: if the US$ drops into a DC low, it should cause gold to continue up while the US$ drops into it’s low
Hi Cal,
No , that doesn’t mean that. I’m just discussing things step by step.
That is the next step that I’d be looking for

Gold down, Dollar down. Is this the new norm?
I doubt it , but that’s weird.
Just when I’m almost in the green on JNUG…..insert sad face.
I think it will rocket back
Thanks for the encouragement! 🙂 I’ve watched it go down to negative 40% all the way back to only down 2%….since I bought too early….now just waiting for it to actually go positive on me 🙂 🙂
wow.. you held -40%?!
that probably beats Crystal for intestinal fortitude
It was stressing to say the least…..I added to cost average down….and it actually worked pretty well….so far……as long as it’ll turn back up for me…..might be the last time I buy 3X funds…but…if it goes back to $20 in the near future I’ll be a happy camper and wish I had more! 🙂 🙂
Oh and I didn’t buy at $20…I bought at $16 and then again lower so my average is around $14…..so $20 will be happy land 🙂 🙂
If this is an ICL, you will easily get that back by the top of the 2nd daily cycle, maybe the first.
If I had a crystal ball….i would get more and average down to less than $14…..I never go all in so always have cash left to spend….I don’t ever spend more than 50%-60% of my account on stocks….after the few years ago when everything kept going down I’m always too afraid to be too invested….I could make more money going “all” in…but just still too jittery….but that always leaves me $$ to average down…..if I could really be totally convinced the bull is here I’d go “more” in….
when I buy I go all in so a 40% drawdown would kill me.
Yeah….I would never have held if I’d put too much money into it…..:)
Right about now I’m thinking I should have sold this morning for my tiny little 1% loss…..and could have gotten back in…..arghhh
THAT is a gut wrencher!
Yep…..had a couple of panic days…..keep remembering a few years ago when gold just kept going down and I held some things stupidly….wondering if I was being stupid again….still have a few things from years ago that I’ve been holding….but I have to say thanks to your teaching I think I’ve gained back what I lost back then by getting into other stocks and making some gains while I wait for those “stupid” holdings to come up 🙂 🙂
I’m just glad that your making a 2016 come back ! : )
Yes, this year has given me some confidence back! 🙂
GDX sold down to the gapand the 10sma area.
I’d like to see it hold here and just shake out the last of the weak hands
REFRESH – If GDX can move higher as the day goes on
.
And yes, I bought that dip at the gap, with a stop for this portion below Mondays lows ( Added at the gap, stop sell just this portion below the head)

Positive attitudes go a long way!
Positive returns go further! 😉
This is the kind of drop I am seeing today among many miners.

Notice the 10 & 50 sma – lots of dropping to the 10sma

SKOL!
I could use a drink today. Sheesh!
Excellent! :oD

That is some really clean cut & paste Bort, I’d never know that you added it.
GDX just did a double bottom and broke the first low with good divergence on the MACD.
They are playing hard ball, trying to shake out holders here.
Is this still on the 15 minute timeframe? Or back to daily for this?
Yes, double bottom from this mornings low, it ran higher and came back down to break those lows , but had pretty strong MACD divergence. Formed a wedge now

so hot…dang
DXY kinda just freaks me out how close the candle formation is from the last move… jeeeepers .. just a copy and past of the last trip
https://www.tradingview.com/x/A1XvWD8Y/
$110 target? Miners will get crushed.
yeah… no expectations.. just interesting to me is all..
remind me to qualify that next time…;)
Hey, your estimate is as valid as anyone’s at this point. We won’t know until a month from now. #HB
no estimate.. lol .. i just seriously just like looking at patterns and wondering out loud ….
maybe i shouldnt post those?? 😡
How about this. Candle pattern from previous run-up. DXY turned down at the upper trend line and the 1.27% Fibo. I prefer and expect this outcome, IMHO. #HB 😉
https://www.tradingview.com/x/JkOdtGos/
nice… i like that…much better 😉
Yes, I had something similar in the OCT 12 report ( refresh)
.
We weren’t there yet, but the projection or expectation to tag that top line looked very bullish.

Alex, I remember that. I guess once it broke the double top blue line we should have expected it. My JNUG $9.70 buy is still holding from 10-6 I think. So buying early paid off, so far.
Yes , me too, the early entry is key , both when it just takes off flying higher or when it grinds around, so you dont get stopped out or major losses on a faill
I did add since then so I’m not sure what my average cost basis is… still very green though.
… And the selling continues with what looks like a capitulation slam down ( 5 minute chart)
23.80 a line in the sand?
For my purchase today it is
LODE @ 24 cents, that stock was at over $13 a few years ago. Earnings not bad last quarter…….Nevada USA Co……fyi
hi 🙂
hi 🙂
Natural Gas: Wave 2 correction imo.
Crude Oil: wave 4 correction imo.
Hmmm….I thought gas could be wave 5. Wave 1 strong put of may lows. A flat 2, wave 3 Up in 5 counts and a flat evil wave 4 off the mid-October highs. Just a thought.
First majestic getting hosed here. Still, hasn’t hit my stops.
Went right to Mondays lows. $7.86 to $8.52, back to $7.86 all in 3 days.
NO WONDER people hate volatility at lows
Anyone’s thoughts on why gold is down at same time dollar is down?
Maybe due to options expiry? I used to think gold fell during the week before expiry, but I think today is just the day before so maybe it’s just doing it all in one day…?
They say gold and USD sync up during emergencies and transitions. I learned the former the hard way during BREXIT. 🙁 lol
Yeah, the BREXIT move was quite something…!
FWIW, GLD came within a penny of closing the gap open up on 10/25 (on my TC2000 chart at least).
Yes, And I’ve been watching the GDX near the 200sma, since it broke the 10sma ( But we’ll see what it does on a closing basis). A break and close below the 200sma would have to serve as a cautionary note

AXU has been giving me grief lately but today it is the only one going up in my account..
Yes, and check out KLDX – It wants to break out to new highs?
Wow, UGAZ….from $54 to $32 in a week..!
Alex, any thoughts here? Nat Gas is getting absolutely gutted right now!! Futures expiry going to make this one go bonkers, too.

seeing some recovery now.
doing some wave counting to distract from the pain…
definite ABCs (or, god forbid,123s) from the top.. and may have completed Ciii or Cv today.
but prepare for final Cv down, just in case!
What time frame ya looking at SOG?
was just perusing the 15min charts,.. following the waves down from the mid october highs
Gotcha thanks
I vote for Cv!!!
Internet may be right? Big question…
Usually , the majority are wrong, especially if they get emotional.
What does it mean if many are afraid but few are selling? *bort!*
They are waiting for the close below the 10sma and 200sma? : )
I can work with that:)
So if I go on an emotional rant (which would be easy to do right now!)….about the sky falling, then things will start to go up! Just let me know when you want me to get that started and I’ll oblige! 🙂
Yes please, start at 3:30 Eastern time , because I’m hoping they ( who are ‘they’ ? ) start buying it back then.
Ok, I’ll see what I can do!
My MNGA went from a nice little gain to red ….arghhhh…..should…have….sold….already….
Starting early…..have to leave the screen before 3:00 (central time)….so….
Honestly I’m really getting ready to sell some stuff….just…can’t….take…it….
if youre worried bout where we go from here, just dump 1/3 of your miners, and buy an equivalent amount of DUST.
it’ll keep you hedged,… with a bias towards up.
I’m just really whining to be the contrary indicator for Alex 🙂 🙂 But I am selling a thing or 2….. I held JNUG to -40% so the -11% right now is peanuts…hahaha…although….IF I had sold this morning while it was just down 1-2% I could buy back now (or whenever this fall stops) and be ahead….I will remember that for next time…:)
fair enough… get whining some more 🙂
but that was one sh!tty day, so youre well justified!
haha! Well, I had to leave the screen about 10 minutes before close of day and just got back….so didn’t get to whine as much as I would have….:P
I am so dissapointed. and frustrated. Ahhh….!!!!
DUST has been stopped in its tracks by this DT line on 15 min chart (since beginning october).
i would suggest a breakout above the line here might result in some considerable frog-in-blender action for more than just my AUMN..
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c3a0786ae7435f63f886569275fe48158119441b4873d738781a9457cb9d5d82.jpg
It stopped my portfolio in its tracks, too, damn it
Alex, I think it was in the weekend report that you mentioned the possibility of GDX going down to 24 before going up
It looks like you were right twice!
As an aside, I tried looking up the metals futures expirations – looks like it’s tomorrow?
…if so, we may have one more day of shenanigans?
Yes, I think I was talking about the back test of the trendline and 10sma. Today seems to be the 200sma ( almost)
Do you – or anyone? – happen to know the expirations date? It would be nice to be prepared if there’s more gyration tomorrow
I thought it was tomorrow or Friday – you can google the schedule for 2016, I have to run out now
Thursday. Metals futures for Oct contract expire tomorrow per CME Group. BUT, what is the front-month traded contract right now? Anyone?
it’s December…
TRX AUMN VGZ.. theyre breaking my balls.. not even flinching while others recover.
I’ve got two of those. *bort* An ambiguous reply, but I’ll leave it.
My MNGA was nastier than yours.
Busted son, busted. Like rolling across the floor busted…
Did anyone see the 21 million shares bought at close on the GDX? What does that indicate? Also GDXJ, TGD and I suppose others had big buys at close.
those big # transactions are typically position squaring at the end of the day, you will see that on a lot of these ETFs. just book work entries.
Yep, they have to rebalance the ETF after the day’s price action. Pretty common. Often more volatile days equal more after hours Vol, but not always.
On the bright side, THM closed in the green today. Not by much but its still in the green. 🙂
Yeah, but this is tough, we can’t get more than 1 day up and that’s no fun. I ain’t quitting but buy n’ hold not working right now. but if I move to shorter or day trades it would certainly leave me behind!
Seems like AUMN had a nice candle to end the day – ? I don’t have mine anymore but just going through a list to see how everything ended the day….
Horribly dissapointing today, with stocks down and $ taking a breather. We realay need some upside traction and not just back and forth action. 🙁 🙁
I’m not quitting yet, though. Maybe I just my hopes way too high. But closing back below 200-day horribly dissapointing. We’re talking 1st cycle highs less than $25 off the gold bottom. That is not good. Trying to buy n’ hold not trade in and out, but that plano is TOUGH right now. I shouldn’t complain too much, my account overall is higher than it was 2 weeks ago, but not where I wanted it nor where I was Friday. Come on gold, we can do it!!!
My view of the USD… https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/5da4a071f23d86c547bc9d294bd646050257254bf25a0199f63f60fe607243e2.png
And the Euro https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/abe134291ed0e63b309178982f00b5a32c486bb4d28e85cde85219d07ca3ee73.png

And the GDX.
Bottom line is that I expect the USD to continue its rally after a small consolidation.
The Euro tells the story of the dollar. It is a part of a bigger structure and it is not unlikely it will drop further down after some improvement of the RSI.
In the meantime, gold can do a jump up to about the 1280 area where it is significant resistance (if it is lucky enough to go that far) 🙂
That can lead to a fake-break out in GDX.
When dollar is done consolidating, it will possibly send gold back down.
Yes, gold has resisted OK so far given DXY’s strength, but given how oversold it has been, it has not been convincing behaviour of the type one normally see out of ICL.
I look to enter metals when dollar has put in a convincing top – wherever that might be 🙂
Because – the two has shown a great deal of correlation and being long in metals while the dollar is still on the move is a bit of a hassle – with choppy price movement.
Pennants can both break down and up. There is no clear trend provided.
Are you on tradingview nord?
Yes Maria, Viking83 🙂
There is however one possibility that DXY has already topped, but I just don’t find the support in Euro turnaround aggressiveness. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/675f7d5c757aca03c487a6a551688d586a12f9c97021878e93ba5ddddfc28950.png
Hey all, despite the recent run up I still think there is a lot of money to be made on the pot stocks leading up to the 5 state referendum in November. 60% of the nation now favors legalization. I’m going to be posting a lot of pot charts and musings over the next couple of weeks and I would love it if you all have any thoughts or ideas. Thanks:)
