GDX Breaking Out Long

VanEck Gold Miners ETFArca

Description

The weekly chart for GDX has created a bull flag pattern. The stock is finally breaking out with the market weakness. I am aiming for the $37.30 price level as a potential target but the prior $31.30 level could provide some resistance. Of course, if the market finds strength again then be ready to take your profits on this one quick.

What your take profit targets Chartimistic? Thanks!

@intipu, I like to use Fibonacci Extensions & volume to see where potential profit levels are. If you see green dotted lines on my charts those are the levels I am targeting. So if I have three green dotted lines I would take profits each time price hits one of those zones by selling off some of my position. It is too early to try to "protect" profits on this trade so I would be stopped out if the move goes against me by falling back into the wedge pattern. From there, I would just keep an eye on the chart to see if it breaks out again or breaks down through the pattern.
