Gold Stocks could be at a tricky juncture.<\/p>\n

They have already made significant gains, yet history, coupled with the current bullish conditions, suggests more gains coming and probably significant gains. <\/p>\n

However, corrections of 15%-20% during these rebounds are normal and sometimes frequent (like in 2008-2009). <\/p>\n

One doesn’t want to risk having to chase strength, but one doesn’t want to risk buying ahead of an imminent sector correction.<\/p>\n

Let’s take a look at several charts that can help us figure out where we are.<\/p>\n

First, let’s take a general look at where we are compared to past rebounds from significant market lows.<\/p>\n

We plot weekly data and the rebounds from 2000, 2008, 2016, and 2020 in the chart below.<\/p>\n

As you can see, history shows that the current HUI is a bit above the trend but has plenty of upside potential over the next four to five months. Based on the current time frame, history suggests a real correction to begin in late June. <\/p>\n

HUI Rebounds (Weekly Data)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Elsewhere, oscillators based on the moving averages would argue the same. The market is a bit extended but has yet to hit an overbought level based on its distance from its 100-day and 200-day exponential moving averages.<\/p>\n

Finally, consider various breadth indicators.<\/p>\n

The bullish percent index is near an extreme at 92%, but the percentage of HUI stocks above the 200-day moving average (72%) is not. The percentage of HUI stocks above the 20-day and 50-day moving averages (100%) does reflect a short-term overbought extreme. <\/p>\n

GDX & Breadth Indicators <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

A correction is certainly possible, and corrections during these types of sharp rebounds can be swift. The short-term breadth indicators could argue so. <\/p>\n

But gold mining stocks just broke out to a new 7-year high and selling pressure remains muted and even as Gold is $100\/oz off its high.<\/p>\n

I hope that GDX, which closed Wednesday at $33.70, does a quick retest of support at $30-$31, which would allow for a stronger leg higher. Should GDX trend higher from here, then keep an eye on the confluence of resistance around $37.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, take advantage of the weakness in quality individual stocks. Two of my top junior holdings have corrected 20% after ripping higher.<\/p>\n

\u00a0We continue to focus on identifying and accumulating these types of companies that have significant upside potential over the next 12 months.
