Dollar Drops 1.5% Gold Climbs 2.3% Major Shift In Global Trends ~ Monday Market Moves

In this week's Monday Market Moves, I break down what happened across the markets and what I expect going into next week. 📩 Premium Newsletter 15% Off Golden Egg Special 📩 15% Off Technical Analysis Charts Video Series - Discount Code "GOLDENEGG" 📩 Website 📩 Substack 👉 Technical Analysis Video Series Recorded on 4-10-2026. I walk through the S&P 500 rally of 3.6% as it breaks above the 200-day moving average, along with a sharp drop in the VIX and continued weakness in the U.S. dollar. I also discuss how unexpected macro events like a ceasefire influenced price action and why I didn't anticipate that move. While the recent strength looks bullish on the surface, I explain why my short-term bias is actually leaning toward a pullback. I focus heavily on key technical levels that I'm watching closely across major asset classes. I then shift into commodities and crypto where I see some of the most interesting opportunities developing. I highlight strength in gold, silver, and especially copper, where supply constraints could drive prices much higher in the coming years. At the same time, I break down the sharp 13.4% drop in oil and why I believe the downside is more likely to continue. I also explain why natural gas and coal are weakening due to oversupply dynamics. Finally, I cover Bitcoin's 5.8% move higher and why I expect resistance near 67,000 to trigger profit taking, even as the broader trend remains constructive.
