Questions about GDX
What people ask.
Why is GDX on Broken Stocks?
GDX qualifies for the Watch on decline depth. It is down -25.4% from its rolling 252-day high of $117.17, set on 2026-03-02 — 75d ago.
Is GDX a falling knife?
No. The falling-knife label usually implies a steep, severe drop — typically 30% or more from a fresh high. GDX is down -25.4% from its 52-week high, which qualifies for the Watch tier but is shallower than the falling-knife pattern. It's an early-stage decline rather than a sharp breakdown.
Is GDX a buy?
Broken Stocks does not issue buy or sell recommendations. The list is a rules-based technical warning system. It tracks structural decline depth and recency — not company quality, management, fundamentals, or news. Always do your own research and consult a licensed advisor.
Where is GDX trading inside its 52-week range?
At $87.35, GDX sits 58.5% of the way from its 52-week low ($45.25) to its 52-week high ($117.18). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has GDX been declining?
The current 25.4% decline accrued over 75d, which annualizes to roughly -123.6% per year. Annualized pace is a sanity check — a 30% decline in three months is a different signal than a 30% decline over two years.
