Summary

Gold/GLD: gold printed $1938… still s/t choppy, but m/t bullish. May still threatens a spike to challenge the Aug’2020 historic $2089s.

Silver/SLV: silver printed $24.48, not helped by the reversing main market, and the stronger dollar. A short/mid term mess.

GDX: miners hit hard with gold/silver, not helped by the main market.

notable miner: GOLD

Barrick Gold reflective of the sector. Today’s candle sure doesn’t offer sign of a s/t floor.
