In not rising strongly after the FOMC minutes time bomb, the precious metals mining ETFs now have the potential to be building bear flags with their upward biases. This includes diminishing volume (GDXJ and SIL as well), which supports the bear flag scenario.

Okay, I'm pooped. No promo. :-( [edit] Well yes, there is a promo. It's from subscriber Joe F: "So fucking good." Subscribe to NFTRH Premium for your 25-35 page weekly…
Yesterday it was noted that the reversal upward would be a good step in the right direction but that a weekly close in that state was needed to ‘confirm’ (to the degree that anything in a financial market can be ‘confirmed’ ahead of time) a reversal to bullish.

The thing that is not trustworthy if you are a deflationist or (anti-inflationist) is that the ‘inflation trade’ is getting kicked down by the ultimate jawbone, the FOMC minutes.
