Gold closed Friday at its highest price since mid-February.<\/p>\n<p>Gold stocks did even better. The VanEck Vectors Gold Miners Fund (GDX) gained almost 12%.<\/p>\n<p>And, here&rsquo;s the good news&hellip; there&rsquo;s still more upside ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, after a blistering one-week rally, gold and gold stocks came into this week in overbought territory. Gold pulled back about $20 on Monday. DX has fallen about 2% from Friday&rsquo;s closing price. <\/p>\n<p>But, the action looks constructively bullish. And any short-term weakness should lead to another push higher in the days ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Look at this chart of GDX&hellip;<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/jc-stable.s3.amazonaws.com\/ee-assets\/channels\/articles\/mm\/201906-mm\/20190612-MM-01.png\" width=\"700\" style=\"width:100%; max-width:700px; margin: 0 auto;\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The recent rally looks a lot like the rally in GDX in late January.&nbsp;Most indicators got overbought back then, and GDX drifted lower for several sessions.&nbsp;Then we got another pop higher.<\/p>\n<p>That&rsquo;s the same sort of action I expect to see this time around.<\/p>\n<p>Some technical indicators, like the 5-day <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jeffclarktrader.com\/glossary\/#rsi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Relative Strength Index (RSI)<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jeffclarktrader.com\/glossary\/#cci\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Commodity Channel Index (CCI)<\/a>, stretched up to nosebleed overbought levels on the back of last week&rsquo;s rally. But, traders should notice that there isn&rsquo;t any negative divergence on any of the indicators. In other words, as GDX rallied last week, all of the technical indicators rallied right along with it.<\/p>\n<p>That&rsquo;s a sign of strong momentum. And, it usually means that any short-term decline that relieves the overbought conditions should be followed by another move higher.<\/p>\n<p>So, here&rsquo;s what I&rsquo;m looking for&hellip;<\/p>\n<p>GDX needs to consolidate or drift lower to allow the 9-day <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jeffclarktrader.com\/glossary\/#ema\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">exponential moving average (EMA)<\/a> &ndash; the red line on the chart &ndash; to catch up to the current price.&nbsp;Currently, the 9-day EMA is near $22.20 and rising. So, a dip towards that level, or even slightly lower, seems reasonable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>That&rsquo;s where traders should be looking to add exposure to gold stocks in anticipation of another move higher.<\/p>\n<p style=\"-ms-text-size-adjust: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: none; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 0px\">Best regards and good trading,<\/p>\n<p style=\"-ms-text-size-adjust: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: none; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 0px\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/casey-assets.s3.amazonaws.com\/images\/misc\/jeff-clark-signature.png\" width=\"200\" style=\"max-width:200px; width:100%;\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"-ms-text-size-adjust: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: none; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 0px\">Jeff Clark<\/p>\n<p><strong>P.S.<\/strong> Before you go, let me put something a little different on your radar&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Tonight at 8 p.m. ET, my colleague Jeff Brown will reveal his biggest tech predictions for the coming years.
