Comment Section

The week started with enthusiasm in the S&P500 and NASDAQ, which halted on Wednesday and Thursday. On Friday, as the day progressed, the positive momentum returned. Looking outside the big cap space, as in the Russel 2000, the week was pretty negative, and shows overall weakness in the economy. It is our view that this rally might last a few more days before reversing to the downside again. Take care, and subscribe for more news.

Precious metals are retracing a bit these days. Gold and silver fell 1.9% and 3.5%, respectively. Recently, silver broke below 32$ and is now probably going towards the 30$ level. WTI is around the 70$ level, which is short-term support. Oil will likely trade sideways in the near future (68-72$). Bitcoin spiked 17% this week, breaking above the 74k level.

Bitcoin fell 2.7% and is in the upper range of the channel it has been trading in since March 2024. In our opinion, bitcoin it is not looking particularly bearish nor bullish.
