Chart of the Day
Today’s chart of the day was shared in a blog post from Chris Kimble (@KimbleCharting). It’s a weekly candlestick chart of Gold Miners ETF, $GDX. Chris notes that $GDX is testing an important resistance level, around $25.60-25.75. This level coincides with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the 2016-2018 decline. As you can see, $GDX visited this level three times in the past few years, only to be smacked down each time. Resistance levels are similar to a wall getting hit with a sledgehammer, where every time you hit it, it gets weaker and weaker. Will the fourth time be the charm for Gold Miners? Chris calls this “its most important breakout test in the past 3-years” We’ll be sure to keep an eye on this one.

After last weeks pullback, #Crudeoil recovered and cracked a downtrend line. It also cleared last week's high and is challenging the #Fibonacci .618 retracement again. Targeting $66-per-barrel on the next leg up? I'm a buyer. $USO $CL_F pic.twitter.com/Wgk4h9LxrI
