I feel a flash crash coming on, similar to Covid - wouldn't surprise me if Birdflu was the catalyst (see my NASDAQ:GILD idea). The patterns line up exactly the same. You can't see it with this picture, but tons of my indicators are going off -which I will post below. Silver Miners will exit the ascending triangle this go around as the commodity supercycle takes...
Don't think #GOLD is done by any means. HOWEVER....... Sold some positions around the date of bearish engulfing. As of today the precious metal is still @ that price level. We missed a lil more upside but it wasn't much oi the whole scheme of things. #SILVER shows same exact signs except the Bearish Engulfing. AMEX:GLD AMEX:SLV
Miners didn't accelerate to the upside like metals because they do better in lower interest rate environments, whereas metals do better for volatility events. You could buy ITM puts here on JNUG, NUGT, GDX or GDXJ and see a good return, or just wait for this to bottom in a couple of weeks and ride the lightning. THIS opportunity is one of the 2 that I see this...
This has broken out of two downward trends and Powell is about to be dovish with the dollar and let inflation rip again for Biden to get reelected. I see a VERY ATTRACTIVE options play right now - Endeavor's May Call contract at $2.50 is .20 right now and the O/I is off the charts. $5 is .05 or $5 a call. If silver blasts off like I think then these guys could...
Dollar UP. gold at a very TOP And miner doing very bad, after all, cant be a bullish continuation. That means for me a RESET, to a weekly low or even a MONTHLY bottom. If after Fed meeting, gold continues crahing (and it could) if dollar seeks new HIGH, miners would fall more... I am full short at this moment. There is a gap at 33 that should be filled. And under...
Slow move up, very slow, more slow than I would like and desire. But UP, at the end. Some might call it "acumulation" or any fashion word to describe what market does for unkownn reasons, when it moves slowly. So here are the rhythms of this FOUR year corrective move. And now? walk or Burst (again), fly or Die (once more). I chose the first.Is my choice. In fact I...
🚨 🚨 🚨 #Gold is forming a Bearish Engulfing on the daily charts. Volume is almost there for a confirmation of the pattern. Money Flow is low. Overbought. Weekly we see Gold forming a doji = battle bulls & bears. #Silver is at a major resistance. This should be an interesting week... AMEX:GLD AMEX:GDX AMEX:GDXJ AMEX:SLV
Gold miners have shown relative weakness to the metals since topping in 2020, and that looks likely to continue in the near term. However, when this consolidation completes, the mining stocks should once again shine and starts catching up, potentially in the next couple of months. For this reason, the time has come to keep this group on your watch list as a...
Back to all time highs area in the next year and a half. While DXY moves back to 87-88 and gold could reach the 2800 level.
In the current blue wave (c) of the GDXJ, the bulls pulled out their defibrillators and breathed some life back into the market. With a 5.5% gain, the wave extension continued, which should carry on above the next resistance at $43.89 and then enter the magenta Target Zone ($57.36 - $65.95). In this price range, both the top of the blue wave (c) and that of the...

US Bonds are currently dumping once more as GDXJ and Gold Bearishly Diverges at resistance after printing a 3-Line Strike. If this goes as I would expect, then we will see GDXJ come down to recover the entire range.
It's Friday, and the last trading day of September ... . Here's what's at the top of my IV screener in the exchange-traded fund space: TQQQ, IVR/IV 23.3/64.2% GDXJ, 22.7/36.4% (2.52% yield) FXI, 12.5/33.4% (2.26% yield) EWZ, 11.1/31.9% (10.9% yield) GDX, 26.0/31.5% (2.23% yield) You'll notice that everything is still pretty much in the lower one-quarter of the...
Given USD strength and the sustained pressure of ever-increasing US interest rates, gold has been taking it on the chin. However, we’re getting into buy levels/demand where it may be poised for a near-term recovery. Keep tabs on gold (spot, futures, GLD), but if you see signs of accumulation/trend reversal (use small timeframe charts), consider climbing aboard....
It's Friday and a Triple Witching to boot! Well, IV isn't great here pretty much across the board for us premium sellers. Nevertheless, if you must play (and some of us gotta), here's what's shakin' ... . Broad Market QQQ, .8 IVR, 17.8% 30-day IV, with the shortest duration in which the <16 delta is paying greater than 1% of the strike price: December...
It's Fryyyydayyyy ... (which is when I tend to do all my "stuff"). Well, unless you've been hiding under a rock (no judgment here), you'll know that premium-selling in broad market isn't very good here, with IWM IVR/IV at 12.3/19.7%, QQQ at 9.1/20.1%, and SPY at 6.8/14.4%. That sub-25 IVR is telling you that broad market IV is in the bottom quarter of its...
... for a .72/contract credit. Comments: One of the higher IV underlyings in my options liquid ETF screener at 34.4%. Going a little more aggressive here, selling the 25 delta strike. Will generally look to take profit at 50% max and/or (a) roll down and out for a credit if tested; or (b) take assignment of shares and sell call against.
