Over the last few years, the market has seen a number of trends that have led to huge market moves.

Gold and silver have surged, with miners up 180% in the past year, driving extreme overbought conditions in GDX. DUST, a 2x leveraged inverse ETF on GDX, is positioned as a short-term trading hedge, not a long-term investment. Technical signals—RSI near 80, GDX 61% above its 200 DMA, and historic monthly overbought readings—suggest a pullback is likely.

Earlier this year, gold reaching $3,000 represented a moonshot target. Back in October 2024, Bank of America's commodity analyst Michael Widmer caused a stir, noting that the precious metal could reach the aforementioned price due to rising concerns over U.S. fiscal policies and their potential impact on Treasury yields.

Gold has had a strong run in 2025, benefiting miners in the process. But does the rally still have legs or will it slow down to a proverbial crawl?
