The Venture gave some bullish reversal signals last week and jumped out of the gate powerfully this morning, demonstrating that the last half of May is going to be much different for the junior resource market than the first half.
Commodities are also rebounding with WTI closing above the key $48 technical level today.
Historically, “Sell in May and Go Away” has proven to be about the worst possible strategy during Venture bull market years, and 2017 is sure to be no exception.
Higher commodity prices, discoveries and takeovers – they are all “fuel” for the Venture and the tank is quickly refilling!
Today, northwest Quebec and the entire junior sector got a big boost when Eldorado Gold (ELD, TSX) announced a friendly takeover of Integra Gold (ICG, TSX-V), a deal valued at approximately $600 million.
That’s huge validation for Integra’s efforts at its Lamaque Project in Val d’Or, and for all that’s happening in northwest Quebec right now.
Bonterra Resources (BTR, TSX-V) hit a new multi-year high today, closing at 51 cents, and other Quebec plays showed strength including Granada Gold (GGM, TSX-V) just down the Golden Highway from Integra.
GGM, on the verge of confirming a significant technical breakout after closing at 7.5 cents today on total volume of 1.2 million shares (all exchanges), is due to release an important update on its Granada Property any day now. Given that Integra was obviously undervalued, it’s safe to assume that GGM is, too.

Venture 6-Month Daily Chart
Markets will always take the path of least resistance. Venture support in the upper 700’s is phenomenal and more powerful in our view than resistance around 850.
Plan for that breakout because at some point in the not-too-distant future, it’s going to happen. And when it does, look out!
Note how the slide in the Venture from Easter to last Tuesday, almost 8%, very much mirrored the mini-correction in March in terms of its duration and percentage decline, though sell pressure wasn’t nearly as intense. In each instance, the Index slipped briefly below its rising 200-day moving average (SMA).
What happened last week is that the Venture found support where it should have and by Friday overcame its short-term downtrend line as well as its EMA(8).
Today, the Venture also pushed above its EMA(20) and both exponential moving averages have swung to the upside.
RSI(14) bounced off a strong support level (30%) on the daily chart last week and also formed a “W” while a bullish +DI/-DI cross (ADX indicator) appears imminent.
There are many more great days like today in store for the Venture over the coming months, so enjoy!
