Gold Miners Reversal
The NYSE Arca Gold BUGS Index surged over the previous ten trading days from a 252-day Low. According to my calculation, the 10-day rate of change reached a level of 12.55%. In case you were wondering, BUGS stands for Basket of Unhedged Gold Stocks. The index contains companies that do not hedge their gold production beyond 1.5 years to provide a better correlation to gold prices.
Let's conduct a study to assess the outlook for the NYSE Arca Gold BUGS Index when the miners close at a 252-day low and subsequently register a 10-day rate of change cross above 12%.
