Today's pullback seems logical and orderly.  GDX, for example, has been up 4 days in a row and is finding some predictable resistance at the top of the daily Bollinger Band.  Below, it has a lot of converging support on the daily - the 9, the 20 and the 50 are all coming together as support.  A pullback to that level would be logical, even healthy for another move up.   I wouldn't say miners have been in an uptrend; they have been in a multi-month downtrend that maybe reversing.  If price clears the upper downtrend line from Aug, that would be very constructive for a bullish case (said in my best Steve voice....).

Something else for determining if the downtrend is indeed reversing... this recent up move came off of positive MACD divergence on the daily which also coincided with the 50% fib off the Aug highs and which constituted a backtest of the former resistance-turned-support dating back to May (orange horizontal line).  Then it put in a higher low which kicked off this 4-5 day rally.  No guarantees, but I see that as a good base from which to establish a trend reversal to the upside as opposed to a short bounce.  Gotta see that upper trendline taken out though for me to get bullish.  

I have some miners and am adding on pullbacks.

There is a gap on GDX that extends down to 33.78.  I guess that might be a logical target over time.
