GDX, monthly

 

Summary

October saw the miners push to $33.95, but cool back to $31.71. Ongoing short and mid term price action is still a bearish leaning mess. Things turn interesting above m/t declining trend, which in November will be in the mid $36s. I would note the 10MA at $33.46. Things turn decisive with a monthly settlement above psy' $37.50, which looks realistic before year end.

Summary

September saw the miners break a new multi month low of $28.83. Ongoing short and mid term price action is a bearish leaning mess. Things only turn s/t interesting above the $37s. I would note the 10MA at $33.89. Things turn decisive with a monthly settlement above psy' $40. With just three months left of the year, that looks a stretch.

Three of the key miners...

Barrick Gold (GOLD), monthly

 

A net August decline of -$1.60 (7.4%) to $20.07. Monthly momentum ticked downward, and remains on the moderately negative side. The more cautious will have to wait to chase with a decisive push >$23.00.
--

Newmont (NEM), monthly

 

A net August decline of -$4.83 (7.7%) to $57.99. Monthly momentum continued to weaken, settling on the moderately negative side. S/t price action is a mess. The more cautious will wait to chase with a break and hold above the July high of $64.71, >65 to be decisive.
--

First Majestic Silver (AG), monthly 

 

A net August decline of -$0.79 (5.8%) to $12.91. The sixth monthly decline of seven. Monthly momentum continued to weaken, turning fractionally negative. S/t price action is a mess. The more cautious will wait to chase with a break and hold above the monthly 10MA, currently in the $15s.
