During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 2.79% from a day low at $92.06 to a day high of $94.63. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days and is down by -5.51% for this period.

The ETF lies in the middle of a very wide and falling trend in the short term and further fall within the trend is signaled.

Do note, that if the ETF price manages to stay at current levels or higher, our prediction target will start to change positively over the next few days as the conditions for the current predictions will be broken.

GDXJ Signals & Forecast

Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The VanEck Vectors Junior Gold Miners ETF holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the ETF. Also, there is a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $96.64 and $103.53. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Tuesday, June 16, 2026, and so far it has fallen -19.04%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Volume rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the ETF should be followed more closely.

For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 17th we expect VanEck Vectors Junior Gold Miners ETF to open at $93.11, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $90.26 and $95.04, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$4.77 (+/-5.29%) up or down from last closing price.
