Summary

*We have a clear inverse trade between equities and the precious metals. Bouncing equities… with cooling metals/miners. If you believe the SPX is soon to lose 4K, then the default trade for gold, silver, and the miners… should be clear.

Gold/GLD: gold printed $2078… just $10 shy of the Aug’2020 historic high. Cooling back… as equities bounced. The $2100s are clearly viable within the immediate term.

Silver/SLV: silver printed $27.50, if cooling back to the $26s. The repeated daily closes >25.50, offer psy’30 within the next few weeks.

GDX: a new multi-year high, if cooling back with gold/silver. Opening gap already fully filled. Next target are the $44s.

*I hold AG, KGC.

notable miner: GOLD

Breaking a new multi-year high, but reversing with the sector. Having printed the $25s, next target is psy’30

Equities: sp’60min

Price action is very unstable, as there remain sellers on EVERY. SINGLE. BOUNCE.  I really can’t emphasise that enough.
