GDX - Going Down Xtrenuously (pun intended)

Short
AMEX:GDX   VanEck Gold Miners ETF
The gold miners ETF, GDX, just points to a very very rough time.
With the interest rates escalating rapidly, the USD rising swiftly, the equity markets weakening, and gold prices crumbling... it is a perfect storm for GDX thrashing.

The weekly chart had a tombstone doji the previous week as it failed the Hull EHMA, and the past week confirmed the trend reversal down. The weekly technical indicators are weak and bearish looking so not much to go on here.

The daily chart shows a recent breakdown from a failed 55EMA test. and on Friday, ended with a bearish marubozu, closing near the weekly low. The technical indicators are significantly suggestive... the MACD had actually wasted a long bullish divergence and failed to mount a very decent rally. This failure would have a doubling opposing effect, and the daily MACD has actually crossed down into the bear territory.

Taken together, projections set a downside target of 17, about the end of November 2022.
A very tough time for GDX (unless you are short)
