Had anticipated a reversal in XAUUSD if the broader markets recovered and the VIX dropped with an increase in dollar strength, XAUUSD broke an hourly channel today and is now potentially forming a bull flag based on consolidation over the last few days. So if Xauusd continues higher I am expecting the Gold Miners to do so as well. Head and shoulders pattern on GDX has a target of 21.30 which is 7% above current value. Target for NUGT position is 19+ stop loss at current daily low of 15.50 as a positive open is expected based on XAUUSD breaking hourly resistance today.
