GDX ratio was broken to upside on both 15 and 60 minute charts
BUT without confirming 60 period STO crossing the 20 area. The MACD
looks to be curling up. The STO will probably follow tomorrow. (of
course , we could redraw the lines so they show unbroken
still!)
However, my thinking is that this was only wave A down of some
sort of correction because of the weakness in the other indicators.
It is possible though that today's action was all the correction we
would see as it was a tad more than 50% of the move up from 44.80
to 51.16 (51.16 was an exact touch of the .618 retrace of the
previous down move.) I was hoping to see it hit the 47.76 area
where a=c of this move down from 51.16, but that didn't play out
though it may yet.
If we are going to see a wave B up, .50-.786 targets GDX
49.55-50.47. Guess we just have to wait and see which way it gaps
tomorrow. Odds are GDX will follow the SPX and Dow if the metals
don't rebound or continue to fall.
perth, I could count two waves completed recently, 4 altogether,
and today is wave 5 down. Watch $USD, 77.18 or above would mean
that wave 3 up has started. Probably 49.85 is as high gdx could
possibly go up.
My guessing was for the very short term within what you are
refering to as the beginning of wave 3. And that is based on what
looks like a completed first wave off the top at 51.16. [but as I
said earlier, it wouldn't surprise me to see another little wave
down first]
That wave 3 could also be the start of a wave C off the 55.40
high with A finishing at 44.80 and B finishing at 51.16...the big
items to watch will be the dollar, gold and the major markets.
Some potential longer term wave C targets to the down side are,
.618 of A at 44.61, 1X A at 40.56, and the ever popular 1.618xA at
34.01.
If, as many cycles people are saying, the top is soon upon us in
the MM, well then any washout there is sure to take the PM shares
with it, at least initially.
Note the BPGDM looks like it may be moving back down here for a
bit....and yet there was huge volume to the upside at the last 5
min bar today in GDX.
perth, you are most likely right. What troubles me that we still
have not reached the targets for the $USD ( MA(50) and have not
retraced much of the $gold's decline). Therefore, I'd venture to
say that we are still in wave B and have not seen its highs yet.
Perhaps, next week like you projected earlier.

GDX ratio, correction
Posted by junkie on 12th of Jan 2010 at 05:44 pm
correction, 2 completed waves on the 60-minute charts, and this is the beginning of wave 3 down. Then any bounces of GDX should be shortable.
Junkie, yours could be....

the proper count, no doubt.
