Sucking Air … At The Top

For years, the strategic assessment of the miners (on this site) has been consistent. That is:
‘The precious metals mining sector (gold/silver) are not in a sustained bull market (not advice, not a recommendation).’
From that post nearly four years ago, the Juniors, GDXJ, are still over -22% below that price 🙂
The chart shows the Juniors GDXJ, have pushed above resistance in an apparent breakout that has failed.
Junior Miners, GDXJ, Daily
We’ve had the Up-Thrust, and now today, was the test.

If one is short this sector via JDST, a reasonable stop would be the session low of today @ JDST 30.25 (not advice, not a recommendation).
