GDX Elliott Wave View: Found Buyers in Blue Box and Rallied

Hello fellow traders. Today, I want to share some Elliott Wave charts of the GDX which we presented to our members in the past. You see the 1-hour updated chart presented to our clients on the 07/30/19. showing that GDX ended the cycle from 05/13/19 low at the peak of 07/23/19 at 28.41.

Below from there, we advised members that the pullback should extend lower into the blue box. Below 28.41 level, we said to our clients it should see the equal legs from 07/23 peak towards the areas of the 100 – 1.618 Fibonacci extension of the blue wave (A)-(B) which came around 26.72-25.94. Therefore, we expected buyers to appear in the sequences of 3, 7 or 11 swings. And that was the first area for buyers to appear to take prices to new highs.

In the last Elliott Wave chart, you can see that GDX reacted nicely higher and continued the rally. Later on it made even a new high. Due to the right side up tag, we expected GDX to be supported overall.  Any trades from that area have been risk-free, which means the stop-loss was moved to breakeven, targeting higher levels.  Do please keep in mind that the 1-hour chart which I presented might have changed already. The blue boxes you see in our charts are our so-called High-Frequency boxes. Where the market ideally shows us a reaction either lower or higher. These areas are used be traded in the direction of the right side.
If you are interested in how to trade our blue box areas and want to understand how Elliott Wave works. Then I recommend you to get a shot on our 14 days free trial below. We present a lot of trading setups in our 3 Live Trading Rooms.

Has Bitcoin really escaped the macro forces it was built to fight?
Over 17 years ago, Satoshi Nakamoto designed Bitcoin (BTC) on the back of a global financial crisis as an alternative to the global monetary system outside the control of central banks, governments and traditional intermediaries. This raises a key question: has Bitcoin really become independent of the macroeconomic forces it was built to challenge?
