My near-term pattern and momentum work in the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) suggests strongly that the gold miners ETF has some unfinished business on the upside prior to the completion of the upleg off of the October 24 low at 15.83. At this juncture, I am expecting a pop to the upside out of the 3-day sideways congestion area into new recovery high ground, which projects into the 23.50-24.50 target zone, after which I will be looking for a significant pullback to set up a much more potent buying opportunity.
