Summary

The March candle for GDX was an especially bearish monthly reversal.

First downside target are the low $22s, but a break under the December 2013 low of $20.18 looks very viable this spring/summer.

Certainly, with Gold/Silver prices on the slide, the mining stocks are going to suffer - regardless of how well the broader market might be doing.
