Gold miners have done this 2 times in 5 years

Jason Goepfert
2021-02-08
The percentage of gold miners above their 200-day moving averages has cycled from above 85% to below 20% in recent weeks.

The long-term uptrend in gold may be teetering on the edge, which has a debatable tendency to lead to more weakness. When it comes to miners, they've gotten hit hard enough that on an average day over the past 2 weeks, only 20% of them were holding above their 200-day moving averages.

Putting this into context, it comes on the heels of a period when more than 85% of them were above their long-term average. They have cycled like this 2 other times in recent years.

The group isn't just oversold (or getting there, anyway), they've consolidated after a major upward momentum burst. That's the kind of thing that hasn't rolled over easily in the past, at least judging by all similar patterns since 1986.

What else we're looking at

  • Full returns following a cycle in gold miner breadth since 1986
  • A monthly seasonal anomaly that few are aware of
  • Stocks hit new highs but on weaker participation
  • There has been a surge (again) in penny stock trading
  • The Equity Risk Premium is among the lowest levels in a decade

Stat Box

The S&P 500 showed a gain all 5 days last week, with at least 3 days with 1% gains. When hitting an all-time high, it managed an equivalent performance only 4 other times in its history.


Sentiment from other perspectives

The average person gets interested in the stock market after a major event that brings it into the wider consciousness via mainstream TV and newspapers. Not this time. This is really the first time in 15 years we've seen interest piqued by a rally and not a decline. Source: Google

So, they're buying the S&P 500. There has been a surge in money flowing into the main ETFs that focus on the S&P, with record inflows last week. Source: Bloomberg TV

Risk Disclosure: Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
