Short Term JNUG Strategy
Bearing in mind that the markets try to screw as many traders as possible, I’m sharing some thoughts of how I plan to trade JNUG depending on what happens early next week. As shown on the attached chart, I think the markets are trying to (or already have) lopside the trade back higher on JNUG before slamming the momo bulls into a short term trap. I think this will either occur in the form of an opening gap up or down Monday. In the intermediate term, JNUG will very likely move up for at least a few weeks, but not before making it difficult for folks to trade the move profitably or w/o substantial drawdowns/profit erosion. This is why I cashed out my JNUG gains before the close Fri. I’d like to get back into a new position around 7.83 which could cause some pain to current JNUG bulls. A gap up and resistance in the 10s could trap some new money and I will hit JDST for a retrace back into the light blue fib zone which should provide support. Again, I will trade what the market hands us Monday and these are just my thoughts……

Thanks for sharing your insights. You approach your trades in a sound and logical manner. Your blogs have been useful to me.
Fantastic insights Mark!
Could we have a final move up in Dust/JDST followed by a proper reversal taking Dust into the 20s? It just felt like we have a little bit more upside in Dust…a marginal high for this move…maybe 40? Definitely appreciate your thoughts
Also keep in mind that max pain for GDX options expiring 7/31 is $14….right where we are now. This could keep prices suppressed. If we get a big pop up Monday, that could be a nice short term trade on the short side via DUST or JDST. I think any GDX weakness this week is buying opp for NUGT and JNUG.
Yes Mark, pop and drop to fill the gap before going higher…so many scenarios.
