I break down the S&P 500 pushing up 0.9% and testing key Fibonacci levels while flashing mixed signals that suggest a short term pullback before continuation. I also highlight volatility dropping sharply and the dollar showing early signs of a bounce despite a longer-term bearish trend. Across rates and macro, I explain why yields may push toward 4.5% and what that means for risk assets. I then dive deep into commodities where gold is down 2% and stuck in a wide range while silver surprises with a breakout setup that could lead to upside next week. Copper weakens, signaling economic softness, while uranium stays rangebound and oil surges nearly 9% despite expectations of near-term downside. I also cover a major breakout in nickel, continued strength in coal, and a bearish setup in Bitcoin driven by a larger bear flag pattern. I close with tactical setups, key levels, and how I'm thinking about positioning into next week.
