GDXJ – Junior Gold Miner ETF (Last:41.89)

Like bullion futures, this ETF for gold explorers ended the week in a place that should produce a corrective retracement. If it surprises by shredding the reverse pattern’s d target at 42.10, our focus would shift to a conventional pattern that promises a further run-up to 48.55.  This is the first time I’ve mentioned the target, but the pattern from which it is derived is strictly kosher, with a second-wind thrust to B=43.89 (4/14/23) that turned A-B too gnarly to be widely observed.  That will always be a plus for us.  Here’s the chart, which, like May Silver’s, delivered a quite encouraging thrust through a midpoint Hidden Pivot at p=39.51.
