Gold hits an ATH in US $…ever, and not a mention in the CNBC’s of the world. The US MSM has done a great diservice to its audience by never acknowledging the one asset class that has outperformed everything else the past 2 decades. Shame! https://t.co/Rb89Ec8YB1

For the most part, US mainsteam Media chooses to ignore gold hoping it will just go away. Meanwhile the rest of the world is loading up at record numbers. A rising gold price is a threat to the narrative that all is ok with the fiat currency system. https://t.co/nlB499u3CA

Jordan Roy-Byrne: Gold Mining & Junior Gold Stocks Approaching Major Resistance
The recent sharp decline in the stock market pulled gold stocks lower. GDX declined 14%, and GDXJ declined 18% in only three weeks.
However, they have started to recover as Gold is now trying to pull away from its correction, which turned into a bullish consolidation.
GDX closed Thursday at $37.29, just below weekly resistance at $38 and $40. It has not made a weekly close above $41 since the end of 2012!
Technically, GDX formed an irregular but potentially bullish cup and handle. The measured upside target would be a minimum of $44, the 2020 high.
GDXJ closed Thursday at $45.11. It has closed above $47.50 for only one week since early 2021. Its potential cup and handle pattern projects above $55.
