Their latest upleg already looks powerful technically, with an ideal setup to ultimately grow to huge proportions. After bottoming at exceedingly-oversold stock-panic-grade lows, the gold stocks have blasted higher and are nearing one of their best buy signals. Sector sentiment is shifting bullish with gold also forging higher. The GDX VanEck Gold Miners ETF remains gold stocks' leading benchmark, and it has enjoyed quite a run lately. As of midweek, GDX has soared 41.4% higher over 3.3 months since late September! In this past week, it has rocketed well back above its key 200-day moving average in a decisive major upside breakout. And GDX is on track to flash a powerful Golden Cross buy signal in the next couple weeks or so. That will happen when GDX's faster-moving 50dma crosses back above its slower-moving 200dma from below. Golden crosses are the most bullish when they trigger after deep extremely-oversold multi-year lows. That's when they almost always signal strong accelerating uplegs with a long ways to run higher yet. Lesser golden crosses occur in sideways-drifting consolidating markets not recovering from serious lows. The former is certainly the case with GDX today, after a brutal mid-2022 plunge. The major gold stocks dominating this ETF collectively cratered 46.5% over 5.3 months into late September. GDX bottomed at $21.87, a deep 2.5-year secular lownot seen since the dark heart of March 2020's pandemic-lockdown stock panic! Psychology was overwhelmingly bearish, with traders abandoning gold stocks leaving them for dead. 321gold.com
