The VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX) displayed robust performance, increasing by 7% over five days. With uninterrupted strength above its 200-day moving average since January and a 94% annual gain, GDX targets $82 by November’s close.<\/p>\n
The ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK), with a 55% year-on-year gain, saw a recent dip, trading just below its RSI of 50. Despite this, its strong technical floor near the $79 level supports a return to highs around $93 by early December.<\/p>\n
The iShares MSCI South Korea ETF (EWY) achieved a 61% year-on-year gain, driven by its technology focus, especially Samsung Electronics at 23% of the fund. Its robust technical momentum suggests targets above $101 by December’s end.<\/p>\n
With the S&P 500 Growth ETF (SPYG) showing such a strong rebound, we believe buying call options or selling out-of-the-money put spreads is the correct move. This swift recovery is supported by last week\u2019s CPI report, which showed core inflation in October 2025 cooling to 2.8%, reinforcing the market’s belief that the Federal Reserve will remain on hold. This pattern is reminiscent of the sharp V-shaped recoveries we saw throughout 2023, where any dip was quickly bought.<\/p>\n
The VXX is signaling that market fear is collapsing, making it a clear short. The VIX index itself closed below 13 yesterday, a level not seen consistently since before the 2020 pandemic, suggesting widespread complacency. Selling call spreads with a strike at or above the $35 resistance level offers a high-probability trade to profit from both the continued decline and the instrument’s natural decay.<\/p>\n
We should be looking to add bullish exposure to gold miners (GDX) as they continue to lead. This strength is being fueled by a weakening U.S. Dollar Index (DXY), which fell below 102 last week, making gold more attractive. Buying call options targeting the $82 strike for late November or selling puts around the $73 support level are solid strategies to play the ongoing momentum.<\/p>\n
For the ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK), this recent dip looks like a consolidation phase before the next leg higher. Despite the recent price weakness, we saw net inflows of over $150 million into the fund last week, showing that long-term believers are accumulating on this pullback. Selling put spreads below the $79 support level is a way to get paid while we wait for the fund to build a new base for its move back toward the highs.<\/p>\n
The South Korea ETF (EWY) gives us a powerful way to play global tech strength beyond the usual big names. The rally is fundamentally justified by the latest trade data from October 2025, which showed a 15% year-over-year surge in South Korean semiconductor exports. We should use any small pullback to buy call options, targeting a move back to the $101 highs by December.<\/p>\n
