Summary

Gold/GLD: gold has printed $1838… not helped by the USD pushing into the DXY 104s. M/t bullish, but any price action <1800 would merit alarm bells.

Silver/SLV: silver printed $21.38, not helped by the broken main market, or the dollar. Alarm bells if <$21.00.

GDX: miners are very significantly lower, dragged down by gold/silver, and the main market.

*I hold GOLD, AG, HL, KGC.  I’d consider adding to all of them with the sp’3500s.

notable miner: GOLD

Barrick Gold reflective of the sector.

notable miner: AG

Silver miners (as is typically the case) more adversely impacted than the gold miners.

The Fed’s Waller comments are the excuse for another push upward. S/t momentum due to turn positive. Natural target is green gap.
