GDXJ – Junior Gold Miner ETF (Last:35.93)

It’s hard to be cautious after last week’s steep, powerful rally, but we should take heed nonetheless that GDXJ would trigger a ‘mechanical’ short at x=36.77. I am not suggesting this, since the set-up, with a weak but lengthy impulse leg, is hardly ideal. But we should monitor price action closely after it’s hit, since that’s why we use charts in the first place — i.e., to stay objectively on top of the trend no matter what we might think.
