Unfortunately, the (mad scientist) graphic at left, is not too far removed from what’s really going on in biotech.
While the S&P, Nasdaq Qs, Gold Miners, Semiconductors, Financials, The HOOD, ORCL, and others, continue to make all-time highs, conspicuously absent is biotech, XBI and IBB.
Now, it appears that quietly, in the background, XBI is reversing to the downside.
Biotech XBI, Daily Close
The up-thrust is there, but is a weak penetration of resistance.
Even so, on the ‘test’, volume contracted by -49.24%, when compared to volume on the upside penetration.
Until proven otherwise, this set-up appears to (currently) be the best short opportunity.
With that said, all other short positions have been closed to focus on biotech.
Leveraged inverse fund LABD is being used at this juncture: Trade LABD-25-10, with stop at the session low (not advice, not a reocmmendiaton).

When looking at the chart of Junior Miners, GDXJ, it’s possible we could be in the midst of a massive terminating wedge ‘throw-over’ (not advice, not a recommendation).
We’re about an hour before the close; GDXJ, price action is beginning to retreat off its session highs.

Upward thrust (Force) is dissipating.
If action enters back into the wedge pattern, it’s typically viewed as a sell, or sell short signal (not advice, not a recommendation).

Pre-market action (8:34 a.m., EST) shows a lower open.
If we open lower, the short entry objective, is to wait for action to move higher in an attempt to close the (potential) gap (not advice, not a recommendation).

All three index ETFs, GDX, GDXJ, and SILJ, posting lower, with the silver miners down the most.
The lower action couples with lower silver (SLV) and nearly lower gold (GLD).
For Junior Miners GDXJ, as of this post (12:28 p.m., EST), it’s showing ‘outside down’.
Junior Miners GDXJ, Daily
It’s important to note, yesterday’s update said there would (likely) be an attempt to move higher.
That’s what happened; then, price action reversed.
The chart shows how short position, JDST-25-10, is being managed. Lowering the stop (higher for JDST) in the direction of the trade (not advice, not a recommendation).
Note, work has already been done on potential, significant reversal for gold and on-going, languishing of silver: Links here, here, here, here and here (not advice, not a recommendation).

Well, it might happen (eventually), but not today.
With today’s GLD, gap-down reversal (dollar higher), the press is gasping, groping for direction as the Chinese of all people are selling in huge amounts, links here and here.
Weren’t they just recently buying in massive quantities?
Behind all the hype and hyperbole, the potential for (a gold) reversal was identified ahead of time, links here and here.
With that said, let’s review how this site positioned itself for today’s excitement.
Junior Miners GDXJ, Daily
The current short position, JDST-25-10, was opened April 25th, then doubled on the 28th (not advice, not a recommendation).
We’ve penetrated support.
Technically speaking, that puts GDXJ, in Wyckoff ‘spring’ position. An attempt to move higher from here, is ‘normal’ market behavior (not advice, not a recommendation).
