The monthly chart offers a sobering perspective on what it would take to put GDXJ back on the bullish track it rode to $66 in 2020. This gold vehicle has been mucking around in no man’s land ever since it tripped a theoretical buy signal at x=37.41 in 2014. The 49.02 midpoint Hidden Pivot will be a crucial threshold, but it lies 54% above, so there’s no point in thinking about it now. A more realistic number is 33.79, a tick above a small but technically significant look-to-the-left ‘external’ peak recorded on September 25.
