In this week's Monday Market Moves, I broke down why the S&P 500 may be losing momentum despite gaining 0.9% as weakening RSI signals, a near double top, and falling volatility could point to a short-term market pullback. ๐ฉ Free and Premium Newsletter ๐ฉ Substack ๐ Technical Analysis Video Series Recording Date 5-22-2026. I also explained why the U.S. dollar may continue strengthening while bond yields cooled after recent spikes, easing fears of a runaway move higher in Treasury yields. Across precious metals, I discussed why gold down 0.9% and silver down 1.7% still appear vulnerable to additional downside before reaching stronger long-term buying zones, while platinum and palladium continued showing mixed technical setups. I also highlighted why copper remains one of the strongest long-term opportunities after gaining 1.4%, with copper miners potentially outperforming the S&P 500 significantly if the breakout structure continues holding. Uranium, coal, nickel, oil, natural gas, and diversified mining equities were all discussed as major long term hard asset opportunities despite short term volatility and possible washout selloffs creating better entries. I finished the episode by explaining why Bitcoin could still move lower toward 72000 while emphasizing disciplined technical analysis, staggered buying strategies, and focusing on long term commodity and energy trends instead of short-term market noise.
