Summary

Gold/GLD: gold is a little weak, still churning the mid $1800s… where the monthly 10MA is lurking.

Silver/SLV: silver is a little weak, in the upper $25s. Last summer’s high of $29.92 looks pretty easy to take out this spring, with next major resistance of 35/37.

GDX: miners are sig’ lower, but it makes for just a partial retrace of yesterday’s powerful gains. I’d keep in mind the monthly 10MA is around $37.00, which the miner bulls should want to see January settle above.

notable miner: GOLD

Barrick Gold is just lower with the sector. The key $22s remain comfortably secure.
