Last Chance to Refuel
A few weeks back, we observed the $21.40 level on the GDXJ, ETF for junior gold miners seen on the daily chart, below, as being critical last-stand support before a major bear market breakdown ensued and likely saw the bear resuming for the metals and miners.
Instead, bulls defended that level on a weekly closing basis, leading to a reasonably strong rally in recent weeks.
After that rally, junior miners have since pulled back down towards the orange line, which is the 20-day moving average. Headed into the weekend, the issue remains whether miners can manage a higher low now in order to add credence to the idea that we have a potential bottom off $21.40.
I am open to either long or short trades here, depending on how price reacts to where I have drawn the yellow arrows.
JNUG is the levered long version of the juniors, while JDST is their levered short ETF.
