How does one play these miners now given most are 50% extended from the 10 sma, wait and hope for pullbacks back near the 10 sma?

In a strong breakout scenario like we've had you might not get a pullback to the 50 day MA for many months in some of these stocks as they have moved so rapidly. But like you saw with gold stocks that did the same thing at the start of the year, you will start to get consolidation at some point soon, which maybe already started on Friday, as there was a lot of profit taking which stopped SLV for example closing above the Stage 2 breakout level.

So if it was me, I would set price alerts at last weeks highs in the strongest looking charts in the sector, and then move on until some of those start to trigger and close above those levels. As if we topped out on Friday short term, then it could be a month or so until it moves higher again. But if it's really strong, it might resume immediately next week again. Either way, you should always plan for what you could lose first, and so need to plan for your risk, and look out for lower risk entry points.

Thanks Isa but most of these really strong looking charts are already 50%+ above the 10 sma on the weekly chart so even if they break above last weeks highs you would still be a buyer despite being so far extended from the 10 sma on the weekly?

For example, AG is about 45% above its 10 sma weekly now so you would still buy it if it cleared last weeks high?

SSRM is about 25% above its 10 sma weekly so I would be more comfortable buying it if it breaks above Friday's high of 16.11. I am trying to find miners like SSRM that are under 30% above their 10 sma weekly that have had good volume.


Thanks,
