Miners, Call It Quits

May 2, 2025 By in GDX, GDXJ, GLD, Gold & Silver, Gold Miners, JDST, JDST-25-10, Positions, SILJ, SLV

For Now, At Least

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).

Gold Down … China Sells

May 1, 2025 By in China, GDX, GDXJ, GLD, Gold & Silver, Gold Miners, JDST, JDST-25-10, Positions, SILJ, Wyckoff, ZeroHedge 1 Comment

You Can’t Make This Stuff Up

Wasn’t gold (GLD) going to launch ever higher in some kind of dollar-destruction, de-dollarization, worldwide meltdown?

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).

The ‘Short’ Bounce

April 28, 2025 By in Dollar, GDX, GDXJ, GLD, Gold & Silver, Gold Miners, JDST, JDST-25-10, Positions, UUP 1 Comment

Nuance, In The Retrace

A nuance in price action can have (significant) meaning or be obliterated at the next session.

It’s no secret the dollar, gold, and the miners, are all at extremes.

The dollar is down, gold is stretched in a potential blow-off, and miners (GDXJ), just posted action that may be important (not advice, not a recommendation).

Junior Miners GDXJ, Daily

The last two days have printed a low of 60.13, but this is not the low of Wednesday, the 23rd. That low is 60.05, below the last two day’s lows.

Why is that important?

The last two days have not made new daily lows, so have not created a potential price action reversal (pushing below 60.05, and reversing).

We can also see, today’s bounce is to 23.6%, while last Thursday’s bounce was to 38.2%.

This all may mean something or not.

With the extremes noted at the outset, it may not take long to find out if the distinctions are important (not advice, not a recommendation).

Sunday Night Futures

Gold & Silver, Update

We’re just about two and a half hours into the Sunday, overnight session.

Once again, it’s not necessarily about ‘what’s happening’, but ‘what’s not happening’.

Both Gold and Siver June contracts, GDM 25 and SIM25 respectively, are trading lower but have not made a new daily low … yet.

As of this post, silver is closer to a new daily low than gold.

The 24-Hour Market

As a reminder, some equities and ETFs are now essentially trading 24-hours a day (five days a week).

Leveraged Inverse Fund (for GDX), DUST is one of them.

The close on Friday for DUST, was 29.91. It’s now at 29.94, indicating some slight upward pressure (down on GDX).

It may be the immediate (upward) pressure on gold has been mitigated by this report (not advice, not a recommendation).

Gold’s Parabolic Top

April 26, 2025 By in GDX, GDXJ, GLD, Gold & Silver, Gold Miners, JDST, JDST-25-10, Positions, SILJ, SLV, ZeroHedge 2 Comments

Mass Liquidations?

During gold’s (GLD) way to the top, or potential top, it has posted gap-higher, after gap-higher.

That is, until now.

This past week, it has come down to fill one of the gaps.

Is this the start of other downside fills?

Before we look at the chart of GLD, let’s review a prior commodity blow-off top.

We’ll chose silver (SLV), for this example.

Silver SLV, 3-Day

There’s a lot going on in this chart.

First, this is what a commodity blow-off looks like.

Second, once this happens with volume, there’s been a significant ‘changing of hands’; it takes a long time to recover.

In fact, here we are, fourteen years later and silver SLV, has yet to reach the levels of early May 2011.

Prices are still far below, even with non-stop propaganda, experts, and grifters cheering it on.

Now, we’ll put up the chart of gold GLD.

Gold GLD, Weekly

The last time GLD posted a Force Index of 1.8B, was back in 2011, just before the last major top.

It’s important to note, the huge reading in Force Index, did not come at the exact top. It came before the top.

We’re in a similar situation. The massive Force Index reading has already posted (not advice, not a recommendation).

Then, two weeks later, we have near record liquidations in the GLD, ETF, link here.

Are The Miners Exhausted?

April 25, 2025 By in GDX, GDXJ, GLD, Gold & Silver, Gold Miners, JDST, JDST-25-10, Positions, SLV 1 Comment

We’re About To Find Out

It’s been a wild ride for gold, silver, and the miners.

This week, gold (GLD) posted a weekly reversal bar as did senior and junior miners, GDX, GDXJ.

Silver miners SILJ, posted an up-thrust reversal after meeting the target identified in this update.

For over a year, this site, if not outright negative on silver (SLV), has at least been ‘non-bullish’ as the metal can’t seem to get out of its own way.

So far, nothing has changed on that front (not advice, not a recommendation).

Junior Miners GDXJ, Daily

With gold posting what looks to be a typical commodity blow-off top, it leaves the miners in a potentially vulnerable position (not advice, not a recommendation).
