GDXJ – Junior Gold Miner ETF (Last:35.48)

At last! Friday’s heroic leap spiked GDXJ through the upper trendline of a longstanding channel that was featured here last week. Even more encouraging was the close above it, although the rally fell 29 cents shy of an ‘external’ peak at 36.14 recorded on September 15. It will need to be exceeded to create an impulse leg we could trust. Better still would be a move surpassing a second peak of somewhat higher degree at 37.08 from August 30.  But any move above the lower peak would allow us to view even significant weakness subsequently as merely corrective.
