NUGT is trading at $174.25, down 2.18% on September 18, 2026, as short-term profit-taking and leveraged gold-miner volatility weigh after the prior-session surge.

  • NUGT gained 6.80% on September 17, partially reversing that advance.
  • Gold has rebounded on a softer dollar and lower Treasury yields; the Bank of Japan’s 25-basis-point hike drew a relatively dovish market interpretation.
  • That backdrop limits the bearish signal, though intraday ETF repositioning remains possible.
