GDX hit a -2 sig on the weekly timeframe back on Oct 4/5 just like a lot of stuff did.
Pushed up and took out the previous bearish selling range, dipping into the gap range sellside liquidity above Grey box.
Becaue it made such a V bottom and left so many 4h gaps, running over and through the bearish opposing gaps I think probabilities shift to Bullish continuation.
Also, the fact that it pushed back INTO the weekly VA in Blue and held there for about a month makes me think the liquidity is Higher and it's reaching for it.

This is a textbook setup for me, anticipating a -1 sig pullback and then the pricing algo steps in to push higher.
The morning open saw the dive down to engage a buyer, then pushed away for a few hours, then I entered on the first 5 min pullback.
However, the level doesn't seem to hold this morning and it's hunting for liquidity below on a gap down today.

Chose the 25 short strike as it's about 2.5 sig the expected excursion from the entry -1 sig.
I may sell more at the 24 strike if 26.60 is tested at -2 sig.
Right now, I anticipate the weekly -2 sig selling level in Green near 25.60 will cause a buying bounce, if not the Daily/4h buying at the Blue line -2 sig doesn't step in before.

This is all happening after Powell speech yesterday afternoon and the QQQ just keeps extending higher reaching for some sellside liquidity.
