2pm update - miners still bouncing

Whilst the broader equity market is in algo bot melt mode (ahead of Friday jobs data).. the real action is in the mining stocks. The ETF of GDX is higher by a very sig' 5.6%, but with the metals set for much lower levels.. this is merely a 'crazy bounce day'.


GDX, daily


Summary

No doubt, many will be calling a key floor in the miners, but unless you think Gold is not going to the giant $1000 threshold.. this is merely another bounce, much like Monday.
-

Bearish on GDX, 15/14s.. near term. Although if Gold 900s next year, there is a viable possibility of 12/10.

As for main market.. is sure is quiet out there ahead of the jobs data.

VIX is reflecting this... u/c @ 14.17.
