Gold Miners Are Breaking Out And They Have Higher To Go

All of the leading gold mining stocks rallied higher early Wednesday. The highly followed VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:GDX) was trading up by nearly 2.0% on the session to $23.04 a share. The GDX is trading above its daily chart 50- and 200-day moving averages putting it in a strong technical position on the charts. The next major daily chart resistance level for GDX will be around $25. After that, important resistance for GDX points up to $28.

Here's The Play

At this time, I'm looking to enter GDX on the long side, but I'm waiting for a pullback or a consolidation pattern to form before jumping in. Often after a breakout an equity will need to digest some of the recent gains. Let's see if we can get that pattern over the next week or so. I will be keeping GDX on my radar. Some other gold-mining stocks that look strong on the charts include Newmont Goldcorp (NYSE:NEM), Kirkland Lake Gold (TSX:KL), Agnico Eagle Mines (NYSE:AEM) and Royal Gold (Royal Gold Inc (NASDAQ:RGLD)).
