GDX A/D line
Just a follow up on the earlier post from Ken. The A/D line in looks like it is in a similar position to the August of 2015 and we know what followed that as below. We had a quick jump in September and then a pullback and then we were off. No doubt there may well be a drop in the next few weeks, but from the last week in August we could make some gains.
In my humble opinion this still looks and smells like a bull market and we are building up to the next leg up, but it will want to try and throw us off first if it can 🙂
Updated the chart now to include the Chaikin Oscillator which is looking like it has stalled, but if it breaks the line then again that would be a positive sign.
Spot on OJ. The lower the A/D line the better. I would be worried if it was high – if you’re waiting for a big rally you need it to be low. This is perfect for a big launch.
Cheers NS and that certainly fits in to what happened in 2015/16.
I think the big difference between the two charts is the divergence. In 2015, the index was down significantly and the A/D followed as one would expect. The current chart shows the index staying fairly even while the A/D line diverges lower. It looks like it is telling us prices need to fall to catch up.
Okay thanks ken. Yes I think we may well see lower prices in the miners yet just to shake us out. I will keep some powder dry just in case, but I think by the end of August we will be going up again. If the SM has a set back in the autumn, then no doubt the miners will follow for a while, but then they may well both go up together into 2018. Then all bets are off as anything could occur as things start to unwind!
