The GDXJ witnessed a week with record declines not seen since May 2022, potentially forming a head-and-shoulders pattern with a downside target of around $33. While a temporary bottom near $34 is expected, the overall trend indicates further bearish movement. Similarly, the HUI Index suggests a larger correction trend following a recent zig-zag pattern. Meanwhile, Bitcoin closed the week at its lowest levels since February, indicating a bearish trend after failing to surpass previous highs in 2021. Historically, Bitcoin’s declines have preceded downturns in mining stocks and the precious metals market, suggesting a possible correlation to watch. Additionally, the USD Index’s recent breakdown below a long-term support line may seem bearish, but past patterns indicate potential for powerful rallies in the near future. This could impact the commodity sector negatively, with junior mining stocks likely facing significant declines due to their current weak technical outlook and correlation with stock market movements.
