In yesterday’s post, I did a very tiny victory lap based on the pop in GDX and GDXJ, but as I mentioned both in the post and on yesterday’s tastylive show, I didn’t think it would last. Both opened strong this morning, but bang, that was it.

That’s some good chartin’ there…….although personally I’d exit if we got to either of those gaps.

We are approaching a major trendline, which may offer a short-term long opportunity for both the precious metals mining ETFs.
