I begin with the macro picture by analyzing the S&P 500, the U.S. dollar, and Treasury yields to frame the broader environment. With equities showing persistent RSI divergence and sideways-to-weak price action, while capital rotates into bonds and the dollar struggles within a long-term declining channel, the setup continues to suggest caution in equities and growing relative opportunity in select commodities.
I then shift into commodities and crypto, covering gold as it tests key Fibonacci support, silver trending within a defined down channel, and copper signaling potential economic softness. I review uraniumโs developing technical structure, oil holding above its 200-day moving average, and natural gas working through sharp volatility. I close with coal in seasonal consolidation, platinum and palladium near important support levels, nickel responding to tightening supply dynamics, and Bitcoin forming a short-term bullish structure with major resistance overhead.
