GDXJ is going to break one way or the other pretty soon. It’s in a Diamond, which is a consolidation pattern, usually thought to have no bias between trend continuation (in this case up) or reversal.

Back on December 31, the day which was the first quarter and year-end after the Fed’s first rate hike cycle in nearly a decade, we pointed out something unexpected – the Fed’s rate hike corridor had just been broken when the Fed Funds rate traded as low as 0.12%, far below the mandated minimum of 0.25%.   […]
