US equities continue to see minor chop, but there is weakness out there. With further declines in the precious metals, there is sector destruction in the miners, the ETF of GDX -5.4% in the 18s... headed for 15/14.

GDX, daily
Summary
*the action in the metals is getting close to initiating a crash wave. The June 2013 floor was Gold $1179. A break under that will open up the giant $1000 threshold... next month.
If that is the case, most miners will fall a further 35/50% in the near term.

As for main market... so long as we don't break >1991... price structure is a bear flag... targeting the low 1960/50s.... tomorrow.

Notable weakness, INTC, -3.5%...
