NEM is often a leader in the miners and this chart has served me well this year.  I was ridiculed in May this year for being full-on short at resistance as 99% of traders were certain an inverse H&S pattern was about to bust out.  They forgot we were in a multi-year downtrend.  We may find ourselves in the green circles at similar places……….

Also, GDX appears to have hit the downtrend channel today and so far we have a wicked candle forming.  Only the close matters so let’s see how this shapes up.

added: My favorite JDST chart….the weekly.  At yesterday’s close I was almost ready to scrap the chart but the week doesn’t close until Fri right? 😉 Just needs to close above ~$8.50 to remain in play.
