The pattern forming on GDX appears to be a bullish Head and Shoulders bottom where the July low was the Head. A “Sign of Strength” through the Neckline was present and helps confirm the Head and Shoulders pattern. A pull back to the breakout area (Neckline) near 23.25 range is normal before market heads higher. If the 23.25 range is going to be support the GDX/GLD ratio should produce a bullish divergence and something we will be watching for. Today GDX tested its late August low and closed above, where GDX/GLD ratio closed below its late August low Showing GDX/GLD ratio is weaker than GDX and a bearish sign for GDX. For a bullish develop to occur, GDX/GLD ratio should start to outperform GDX and when that occurs a bottom may not be far off. A bullish setup could develop near 23.25 on GDX if GDX/GLD ratio starts to outperform GDX. Still neutral for now.”
