SPX: Monday is TD 15 from the 24 TD (5 week) low (August 25) and should be both a top and bottom.  Resistance is near 2560/61 and support near 2536/37.
 
The week ahead should be choppy going into OPEX Friday (Sun opposite Uranus on the new moon Oct 19).  There is a Bradley turn Monday and around Friday/Monday next.  Next week should be range bound and indecisive. A possible important top near 2567 may be due on the 26th (8 TD top/Sun conj. Jupiter).  A minor low is due Monday the 23rd.
 
GDX: GDX is in TD 9 off the recent low and is due a pull back Monday to around the 23.40/50 area, IMO.  Mercury conj Jupiter on the 18th is bullish for GDX with a target into the 24.40's.
 

The two best option trades this week, IMO (not a recommendation, just what I'm doing), will be shorting the SPX 2560/61 (SPY Oct 18 puts strike 255.00 target 253.20) Monday and buying GDX long (Oct 20 calls 23.50 strike target 24.40/.50) from late Monday into Wednesday.

The magic number for me would be SPX 2560/61 today in the first hour of trading.  IF that does not happen, then a slightly different scenario would be in play than previously thought (a high and low in the same day). The previous (x) wave ran 2 TD's (Oct 5-9) so IF today is wave (y), then (z) could run 2 TD's also, which points to a Wednesday low. 

 

 
Wave (x) ran from 2552 down to 2541.  Normally, wave (z's) are  c's: hard waves down.  An xyz scenario right here going down into Wed would imply higher prices directly ahead.  IF we do the previously thought of scenario (hi/lo) in same day, the resulting scenario would imply a choppy move move to new highs by the end of next week.

 

GDX could move a little higher on open today, but my thinking suggests a pull back today followed by a big move up on Wednesday.

Market is way over bought and diverging negatively for a big up day like you are seeing.  This doesn't mean we can't see new highs ahead.  I'm thinking we need a slight pause to refresh very soon.

For what it's worth, the NYSE Open 10 TRIN is highly "oversold" right now.

There are ALWAYS divergences in momentum...the trick is knowing which ones are the important ones that can cause a change in direction...not all do.

The big play right now looks to be GDX long: NUGT and GDX calls for leverage.  GDX could hit 24.69 +/- by early Thursday.

 

The SPX continues its topping action, which may continue into Wednesday.  A minor low is on our radar for Oct 23. Resistance is near 2560.
