Flipped this week to bullish longer term pattern:     https://stockcharts.com/freecharts/pnf.php?c=GDX,PWAAWANRRR[PA!E20,2][D][F1!3!1.0!!2!20

Matt, I see that GDX had a DeMARK 13 on Friday. The RSI 5 is at 93 with no negative divergence. How should we interpret a DeMARK 9 followed by a DeMARK 13? 

Is it likely to pull back now? Seems like not a very good time to add to any mining equity positions.

Ionq looks interesting here. Will post chart later

Research from LPL Financial (NASDAQ: LPLA) showed that the second half of December tends to outshine the first part of the month. The S&P 500 has gained an average of 1.4% in the second half of December in so-called Santa Claus rallies, compared with a 0.1% gain in the first half, according to LPL's analysis of market moves going back to 1950. Agrees with Matt and Steve looking for possible set back early in December. 

VIX:  all this “0DTE has killed VIX” talk… nonsense?  What say you.

Low VIX environment makes intraday scalping (my forte) quite difficult. 

What a great day today with all my GDX, GDXJ, EGO, MARA RIOT and other long -term spreads paying off in a big way. Held some big losses until this past month's big move up!!! Thanks Matt for that monthly gold chart. Am still holding longer term positions but all now beautifully in the green.

Nice breakout on the monthly Silver chart. How far, how fast? I went heavy into Silver miners on October 4th.  Tried to pick the highest beta ones in the run ups in 2010, 2016, and 2020 as the Gold divided by Silver ratio suggests its time for another run like that in favor of Silver.  Think this run goes until they take out their Feb 2021 highs. That run lasted 11 months. Longer holds at consequential turning points is my favored trading style. Thankfully it seems to have been a good move. The only one I don't like is EXK because they diluted their stock right into the lows to make sure they had enough capital to build the Terranova mine. Stupid management decision.  Got into CDE not long after I saw that 2.00 low compared to 1.98 in 2020 when Silver spiked down to 11.64 versus prices today on their monthly chart.  Bought all these below.
