Despite all the advertisement that September was a strong seasonal for Gold, the HUI was actually lower at its close than where it began. Perhaps October is about to pull a similar shift of profile but there are not indications of such yet. DMI indicator is getting more bearish, RSI STOS CCI are still negative. The Ultimate now under 50 did make a little curl up which in and of itself is not highly indicative. Moving back over 50 on that indicator would be. Such an improvement will be accompanied by confirming turns in the other indicators to at least less negative states. At the present time its pretty obvious to conclude the miners and gold are in a negative trend, particularly miners whose rallies can't hold. As a result by extension an approach of the 200 day moving average on the HUI (110+)) would seem probable to occur when stocks generally make a temporary October bottom later in the month. There's a certain barely holding it together taking place in general equities and the dollar that is discouraging some miner holders. It seems time best to be patient. This sideways action since May has a tremendous resolution possibility to the upside, should it occur. Picking the right spots, buying weakness rather than strength is the immediate challenge. Ideally we'll see the HUI work lower while the indicators get based out. Optimum buy for me will then be when price reaccelerates to the upside, turning with it all the indicators.stockcharts.com [h,a]dbcayiay[dc][pc50!c200!c20!c13!f][vc60][iut!Ul14!Uya7,14,28!Uh14,3!Lb14!Lh14,3!Ll14!Ld20!Lya7,14,28]&pref=G jims101
