GDX is showing both bullish and bearish price action.
GDX reversed off of the 0.5 retracement level from the impulse move up from March 20 to August 20. A reversal at the 0.5 is considered bullish and a buying opportunity. However, I believe there is clearer evidence of a bearish move. A head and shoulders pattern formed in white. GDX looks to of formed a topping pattern. We can forecast targets by taking the height of the head to neckline under the neckline as shown in white. GDX also may of just finished leg B of the ABC move down. The 1 to 1 retracement of leg A and B puts the end of the C wave at around $21-22 the same expected target for the head and shoulders. Starting of with a small short position.
GDX moves in turn with EEM and TIPS ( Treasury Inflation Protected), I am expecting eventual downward moves in these also.
