Share:

“Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) — This exchange-traded fund (ETF), which attempts to replicate the price and yield performance of the Amex Gold Miners Index, is in a bull market with the support line at $43 and the 200-day moving average at $44,” Sam Collins Reports From Options Zone.

 

Collins goes on to say, “This has been a recurring trading stock for the Trade of the Day throughout the past year. Following a run in September from $40 to $55, (GDX) pulled back in a series of steps until finding support at the 200-day moving average. It penetrated that major indicator, but then reversed and flashed a double Collins-Bollinger Reversal buy signal (our internal indicator), moving up through the three major moving averages (20-, 50- and 200-day) and an intermediate resistance trendline.”

“(GDX) appears to be in buying range with a trading target of $50-plus and a long-term target of $65. Gold futures flashed a strong buy last week, adding support to our trading target for (GDX),” Collins Reports.
