It is, and as contracts and options expire, and rollover occurs, contango or backwardation can cause a spike one way or the other as front month/next month differences resolve themselves.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe contract rollover disparities resolve themselves over a two or three day period, and the swing trade trend is generally not impacted. This has been my observation anyway. Let me know if you disagree.
Understanding all this, do you think my GDXD buy today was ill-advised? No wrong answer here. GLTY
