Goldcorp (GG) 5 Year Logarithmic Chart

The gold miners are trading well into bear territory. Take a look at the 5 year chart for Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) which is approaching the 2008 low. Barrick Gold (ABX) is testing the 2008 low.

Goldcorp (GG) has the largest market cap in the industry and some of the best fundamentals. Never try to catch a falling knife but it is time to monitor for a bottom formation pattern.

A break below major support of 150
A break below major support of  150 on the weekly chart for the GLD ETF.

GLD ETF 5-Year Weekly Logarithmic Chart

GLD is officially in bear market territory (-20% from a high) as the $143.95 close is a drop of 22.5% from the September, 2011 high of $185.85. And then we have the break below major support of 150. The next support level is 140.

I don’t care about reasons for the price of goal. There are people who make a living writing about the multitude of reasons for the slide in gold. I just follow the chart until it indicates a bottom. Reasons are irrelevant.
