looking at gdx we have our first cycle trendline breakout. which could signal this is a new daily cycle. if the bottom is in, then it should find its way to the next multi month trend line at 22.

again if gold can do its part and close above 1152 tomorrow or next week, then i would start to get more excited.

1150 right now, another couple blinks of the eye it'll make it.

What's the story on GDX? not much into miners these days, more into bullion and physical gold.

Sold my 2nd JUNG position.

JUNG had returned over 60% off the low. Pretty sweet stuff

Almost 20% in two days on dgc. :eek:

there it is. gold broke 1152. looks like confirmation is in. technically we should now be in a buy low sell high new gold up swing for the coming months

Damn... big movement today! Missing out. SilverRex are you putting your JNUG funds in core positions? (YRI etc?)

Looks like I'm holding my JNUG for the ride up. What a crazy day :) Christmas came late.

no, trading jung has always been a short term tool. i have already increased my position sizes on yri and k during this pull back and will let it sit for the 6 months then evaluate.

if this is the wave 3 everyone has been waiting for (like myself) then the gains will be enormous in 2017.

what did i say about weeks ago that jnug worse case was going to tag the 4-5 range. it was a buy every dip. now it is up nearly 70% off the low.

the hardest part isnt averaging down but rather can you and how you can hold onto your profits and simply let it ride up.

my own strategy is to hold core for long term and trade leverage on swings.

i hope this rally has helped everyone here who is playing this sector. i think is time we get some light at the end of the tunnel

This.

gdx is smack in the middle. it can go either way. tagging 22 or falling back to backtest a trendline breakout at 21

gdx 50 day moving average is also near 22. if miners make a new high i may let my last jnug position go and try to anticipate a pull back. rsi is also overbought and could use a reset back to neutral

got in early on the 27th for HBU and CGL. love my bullion.

Gold and Silver above 1 point today. beaut.

edit: anyone into other commodities such as Coffee?

added a 2nd position in fcx as it hit my buy zone under 13.5, not going to add anymore unless fcx would fill the gap down in the low 12s.

After such a run-up over the past few days for JNUG, we should see some healthy consolidation soon, no?

Might unload some and buy back in on that consolidation.

miners and gold are flagging, flag in an uptrend typically results in a breakout to the upside. while no patterns are guaranteed. we will see if it plays out so i can unload my last position

JNUG high of the day near closing. WOW!
I will be looking to unload tomorrow, maybe.

as i was saying bullish flag pattern, so far gdxj is the first to breakout and to a new high.

32.73 is a good place for a stop limit. ive seen too often if price cloeses below this after a breakout then a larger decline ensures.

wow, last minute breakout + surge on volume. very bullish close

jnug went up 77% in 9 days. anyone who was just averaging down should have done well regardless.

looking for a slight gap up tomorrow to unload

RIDICULOUS!! :D :D :D

Okay, now the question is, do we see profit taking tomorrow before the weekend/New Year?

I'm thinking on unloading tomorrow, but I see no reason to technically if we don't lose the 20MA hourly.

because its year end. fund managers may be taking profit on their short position hence the bounce. and next week they could be right back at it shorting.

ive learn to take profit off the table no matter how confident i am in the market. after all, a win is a win. any profit is miles better than a position under water.

also gdx topped the SoS list on a record -669m which typically suggest a drop is imminent

gold is making a move after hours. hopefully it can hold up for a good starting friday morning.
