Summary

Gold/GLD: gold printed $1844, remaining a little higher… catching a fear bid, which is more impressive considering the stronger dollar. Things turn interesting >1879s.

Silver/SLV: silver is being hit by the main market. Its all a mess until >$25.50.

GDX: miners whacked lower by silver and the main market. A mess until >$36s.

*I hold GOLD, NEM, AG, HL, KGC. No intention to add.

notable miner:GOLD

Last week saw Barrick Gold get stuck from the 200dma. The main market isn’t helping.

Provisional floor from 4222. S/t momentum is ticking upward, as we’re starting to burn off extremely oversold conditions. Broadly though, I’m seeking 4000/3800 zone, as energy stocks/WTIC still appear to have further to fall.
