Above is the monthly VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:GDX) chart. We have a 5, 9, 13 period moving average on the monthly GDX chart going back to 2014. A bullish crossover occurred back in January which is still in force. The bottom of the trading range in 2017 comes in near 21.00 range. GDX fell below this level in August 2018 and than closed above it in December 2018 creating a bullish “Shakeout” (false breakout). When a down side “Shakeout” occurs the market normally breakouts to the top side, which would imply a break above the top of the trading range near 25.00. GDX is now back testing the support near 21.00 and appear to be finding support. There is a “Price by Volume” level between 22.00 to 23.00 range which GDX run into in February and March which stopped the advance. Once through this level it should provide support. GDX has been in a low volatility state since 2017 and bigger swings should start to develop in the coming months. After the current back test is completed, an impulse wave higher may begin that could last into October. Long GDX on 1/29/19 at 21.97.
