📩 Free Newsletter 📈 Technical Analysis for Beginners 🌎 Travel Channel Recording Date 7-17-2026. The S&P 500 fell 1.6%, lost both the 20 day and 50 day moving averages, and left me with a lower bias after Friday's breakdown. The U.S. dollar slipped 0.2%, but I still see a possible bull flag, while the 10-year yield fell 0.3% and remains inside a multiyear triangle that could eventually produce a sharp move. Gold dropped 2.3%, and the chart looks more like a bear flag than a convincing double bottom, so I am watching $4,000 first and deeper support near $3,700 and $3,500 if a liquidity driven washout develops. I also explain how I am staging limit orders in PHYS, GDX, and GDXJ rather than trying to guess the exact bottom, with the biggest bids reserved for a fast capitulation move. Silver fell 6.4% and is approaching major support around $52 to $54, although I see a broader possible floor between $48 and $54, with lower buy zones also discussed for PSLV and SIL. Copper slipped 0.3%, and I am treating its current structure as a bear flag unless it can clear roughly $6.44, while COPX may offer better entries around $70 and the low $60s. Uranium was nearly flat, but the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust remained at a 9.9% discount while holding 81.4 million pounds, and URNM fell 9.5%, which is exactly the kind of seasonal weakness I want for building positions. Energy was the clear leader as WTI surged 14.4% and Brent gained 17.4%, though I am watching resistance near $85 for WTI and $90 to $92 for Brent while XLE continues forming a larger bullish pattern. I finish with natural gas, coal, platinum, palladium, nickel, PICK, and Bitcoin, where palladium is attempting a breakout, nickel futures gained 2.2%, PICK remains a diversified core commodities position, and Bitcoin may bounce toward $65,000 to $66,000 even though I still see greater long term downside risk.
