Bullish Reversal Day For Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF

Only Monday we wrote that shares of Market Vectors Gold Miners (NYSE: GDX)) were in a sustained downtrend and would likely move lower still.

On Tuesday, GDX gapped down at the open and closed with another substantial loss, in this case just a fraction above $40.

Apparently this was support for GDX as round numbers often are and on Wednesday, May 9, the stock posted a bullish outside reversal day.
GDX CHART
A bullish outside reversal day is one in which the stock trades at lower lows than the day before, and closes at higher highs than the day before. When it occurs after a sustained downtrend as GDX has been in, it is a bullish indicator.
 
The bullish indicator may be short term in nature, forecasting only several days of advancing prices. It could also mean a tradable bottom is in place. There is no way to know at this point so any trades should be placed with tight stops.
 
IF GDX was to close above $45 a share in coming weeks, we would be looking at a potential new upward trend.
