Summary

Suffice to add, 3 weeks up... and 1 week down. Broadly, the miners are very close to a key break above the Feb' high of $25.71. Any price in the $26s will be decisive enough to offer another $5 to the 31s by spring 2018. Things would turn hyper bullish if $32s.... with a subsequent target of $50.

Key related thresholds: Gold $1400s, Silver $22s, Copper $3.00 (achieved in August).
