Over the past year and a half, Gold and the Miners have been making significant Intermediate Cycle (IC) Lows approximately every 5 months. While my shorter term Trading Cycle counts are a bit muddled here for Gold and the Miners, we should expect the next IC Low sometime in early April near Armstrong’s second Benchmark Low date.

Much depends on the USD as well as it has been making a bullish move out of its recent IC Low. I have the USD on day 12 and it usually finds a shorter term Trading Cycle (TC) Low between days 18-24 ((I would expect a near term TC high sometime over the next week).

GDX broke a couple of important trend lines today. If we are on day 29, as I suspect, we could find a near term TC Low this week or next. The more important low, however, will be the one I expect in early April where Martin Armstrong’s 2nd Benchmark is looming ahead of us. My second GDX chart shows some Fib levels that will be important to follow as this Low approaches over the next 5-6 weeks. Until then, action could be choppy in an epic battle between Bulls and Bears.

The USD is on day 12 here and is in a very bullish uptrend thus far. I would expect a shorter term Trading Cycle (TC) High to occur sometime over the next week.
