XAUUSD (gold) looks ready to break higher.
The sideways consolidation since topping out in August is indicative of another leg higher.
This is a local top, not a cyclical one.
Of course, that’s just my opinion, but XAUUSD is holding up incredibly well, considering it was trading at $1,450 just seven months ago.
Even the daily time frame continues to look bullish.
The biggest challenge with XAUUSD, or any spot metal, is that US traders are banned from trading it.
Yes, that includes me.
However, one of my favorite ways to play gold strength is via the gold miners.
More specifically, the junior miners.
I like the junior mining space simply because of the asymmetry of the risk to reward tradeoff.
For that reason, I’ve been long the junior gold miners since April 1st.
It’s a play I’ve been telling DPA members about since I first bought into the miners, and a portfolio that is still up over 100% since then.
But you don’t have to be a seasoned stock picker to know which companies to buy.
You can always buy the GDXJ, which is the junior gold mining index.
The same goes for the non-junior miners, which is the GDX.
The way you configure your portfolio and whether you invest in gold at all is entirely up to you, as always.
Investing in the gold mining space is just one way to take advantage of XAUUSD strength, especially if you live in a country where spot metals are banned.
However, it is my favorite way to play gold strength, particularly if you have a longer time horizon.
