I gave GDXJ the benefit of the doubt when last week ended, but all it did was add to the disappointment we’ve felt waiting and waiting…and waiting for gold to show a pulse. I set a low bar, and GDXJ didn’t have to do much to turn the intraday charts short-term bullish. Alas, two falsely-signaled rallies sevened out, and so I’ve switched to a bearish pattern that projects more downside to 86.60. I’ve aired another that implies even lower depths will be plumbed, down to 82.46 over the next 6-8 days. For now, though, let’s take the bad news one target at a time. A 105.95 print would bull things up a bit, but let’s not get excited until it happens.
