Before I give up the Technical Analysis charts on a few Miners’, please revisit what I discussed on May 16 about the USD vs Gold & Silver. Here is the Weekly chart from that article…
Here is the USD Weekly chart as of the Friday June 2 close…
Gold & Silver have had a nice bump following lackluster economic data releases and USD plunge, but a majority of Mining Stocks are still getting whacked lower or chopping sideways since July 2016. Houston, we have a problem and it’s called DIVERGENCE. For roughly 2 weeks the Mining Stocks are falling as Gold & Silver are rising. The Miners’ & Gold don’t always track neck and neck because they’re two different animals, but the current Divergence sticks out like a sore thumb on the charts. It will be rectified sooner than later with all eyes on the 2011 Gold Trendline. Below are the GDX & GDXJ ETF’s vs GLD as of the Friday June 2 close…
After sorting through a few hundred Mining Stocks on my watch list, I pulled three that are looking upbeat. My primary criteria is VOLUME. At minimum I want to see several million+ shares traded per day, no dead minutes. LIQUIDITY is very important.

My next criteria are technical indicators & company fundamentals. If you follow my charting for awhile you’ll discover the niche.
For this week, keep a close eye on $KGC Kinross Gold, $IAG Iamgold and $GOLD Rangold Resources. Here are the charts…
