Matt, thoughts on a GDX bounce?

    I have been waiting for an oversold bounce, but GDX has moved again below its 200ma. How do you view the prospects for a bounce now that it has drifted down below the 200ma?

    I'd follow the 60 min

    I'd follow the 60 min chart for a closer view, for now it's in a downtrend; there is some positive divergence potential and there is a possible bull wedge forming, but it needs to bounce and find support soon.  Watch the trendline over the GDX/GLD ratio, if that breaks then that would be a positive.  

    GDX did bounce off the 200 MA last week, but then failed but it did produce a short term trade off that level last week, I played it.  Again I just pointed out that some potential support levels were approaching.

    I played the quick bounce

    I played the quick bounce last week, for about 1.5% gain. But I didn't go short after that. So I'm flat at the moment.

    Well done frtaylor.
