PRECIOUS METALS BREAKOUT
Tuesday’s ETF Chart of the Day, GDX, closed +3.20% and broke out to a 90-day high, which is a bullish signal. There were 9 new highs in Gold/Silver miners, over $1B market, cap for the day (listed by market cap):
NEM, FNV, SBGL, GFI, NG, SSRM, CDE, HL, SAND
The close in Gold over 1500 is also a bullish signal, and moves my Gold outlook from neutral/improving to technically bullish. Following are a few key charts in the group:
Gold reclaimed 1500 and is above all key moving averages for now. 1525 is the next key level that I would want to see a close above to confirm the breakout. 1450 is still key support on any pullback.
GOLD DAILY ($GOLD)
$1504.80
GOLD MINERS ETF (GDX)
$28.66
90-day closing high and back over all key moving averages.
THURSDAY’S “CHART OF THE DAY”
NEWMONT GOLDCORP CORP. (NEM)
$42.18
The Blue Chip of the industry, with the largest market cap, currently at $34.54B. Closed at a new 3-year high, which is a bullish signal. New highs are the most bullish price signal there is. Key support on any pullback is 40 and then 38.50. NEM also had a successful test of the rising 200-day moving average in November.
FRANCO-NEVADA CORP. (FNV)
$101.36
One of only four large caps in the group, at a $19.11B market cap, broke out to a new all-time high, a very bullish signal. 95 and 90 are key support levels on any pullback.
HECLA MINING (HL)
$3.38
HL is a small cap at only $1.70B, and is a current long position that I have held since November. HL closed at a new
18-month high, and while some consolidation would be healthy, the primary trend is firmly higher.
I will monitor this group, among others, to see if Tuesday’s strength follows through.
Have a great day.
