VanEck Gold Miners ETF Performance

The VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX) performed well, gaining 7% over five days. It has remained strong above its 200-day moving average since January and boasts a 94% annual gain. GDX aims for a target of $82 by the end of November. The ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK) has a yearly gain of 55%, but recently experienced a dip, trading just below an RSI of 50. However, it has strong support near the $79 mark, suggesting it could return to around $93 by early December. The iShares MSCI South Korea ETF (EWY) reported a 61% annual gain, mainly due to its focus on technology and a significant investment in Samsung Electronics, which comprises 23% of the fund. Its strong technical momentum indicates a potential climb above $101 by the end of December.

Strategies For Current Market Trends

Given the strong rebound in the S&P 500 Growth ETF (SPYG), we recommend buying call options or selling out-of-the-money put spreads. This quick recovery follows last week’s CPI report, which showed core inflation for October 2025 at 2.8%, reinforcing confidence that the Federal Reserve will pause any rate changes. This trend is similar to the rapid V-shaped recoveries seen in 2023, where any dip quickly attracted buyers. The VXX indicates that market fear is decreasing, making it a good short candidate. The VIX index closed below 13 yesterday, a level it hasn’t consistently seen since before the 2020 pandemic, which points to general market complacency. Selling call spreads with a strike at or above the $35 resistance level presents a high-probability opportunity to profit from the continuing downturn and the instrument’s natural decay. We should consider adding bullish positions in gold miners (GDX) as they continue to excel. This strength is driven by a weakening U.S. Dollar Index (DXY), which fell below 102 last week, making gold more appealing. Buying call options targeting the $82 strike for late November or selling puts around the $73 support level are solid strategies to leverage the ongoing momentum. For the ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK), the recent dip appears to be a consolidation phase before the next upward movement. Despite the recent price drop, net inflows of over $150 million last week show that long-term investors are buying into this pullback. Selling put spreads below the $79 support level allows us to benefit while we wait for the fund to establish a new base to move back toward its highs. The South Korea ETF (EWY) is a strong way to invest in global tech growth beyond the usual brands. The rally is backed by recent trade data from October 2025, which showed a 15% year-over-year rise in South Korean semiconductor exports. We should take advantage of any small pullback to buy call options, aiming for a return to the $101 highs by December. Create your live VT Markets account and start trading now.
