NFTRH; A Look at the Miner Bounce (GDX, GDXJ & SIL Daily Charts)

A technical update using daily charts for those micro managing the daily moves and shorter-term trends.  Fundamentally, I like that the stock market and crude oil have reversed downward today, but one in-day reversal there does not change recent fundamental discussion just yet.  But it is reflective of what would need to be happening on a sustained basis for me to get aggressively bullish the gold sector.
