Over the last couple of weeks, the GDX/GLD ratio has modestly outperformed GDX and suggests that GDX may bounce short-term. GDX gaped down yesterday and left an open gap near 22.00 range and most open gaps get filled short-term and could be an upside target.
We do have a longer-term target down to 18.50 range that could be seen in March. Therefore, if the market does bounce to gap level and gap is tested on lighter volume, with GDX/GLD ratio showing relative weakness compared to GDX, it could setup a bearish signal. A “Selling Climax” occurred on February 9 ( near 21.00) and at some point will be tested and if that does hold then 18.50 range would be the next downside target.
