In partnership with
Four charts this morning. Four different assets. One consistent message running through all of them.
The macro environment is not as stable as the SPX headline number wants you to believe. Let me walk through each one.
SPX - 7.6k. New highs. But the foundation is shakier than it looks.
SPX is sitting at 7.6k. Fresh highs. The kind of number that generates headlines and gets shared widely as proof that everything is fine.
I'm not convinced.
The green demand zone marked on the longer timeframe chart sits between 6k and 6.2k. That's where genuine institutional buying came in during the last significant correction. The fact that price has run nearly 1,600 points above that zone without a meaningful retest tells you this rally has been fast and has left a lot of air below it.
The first meaningful support below current price is 7.5k. That level had been resistance for an extended period before the breakout. A close back below 7.5k would be the first warning sign that the move is running out of steam.
Below that, 7k is the level I've been watching for weeks. A daily close below 7k changes the macro picture significantly. Then 6.5k and 6.4k are the deeper support levels before the green demand zone comes into play.
SPX at all-time highs while the commodities picture looks the way it does is a divergence worth taking seriously. I'm covering what that divergence specifically means for the weeks ahead in today's premium issue. It's not something you want to miss if you're making decisions in this market.
Gold - 4.5k. Parabolic peak fading. Trendline still in control.
Gold peaked at 5.6k. That was one of the sharpest parabolic moves the daily chart has seen in years. And like every parabolic move, it ended.
Current price at 4.5k is sitting in a falling structure that has been in place since that 5.6k high. Every bounce attempt since the peak has been sold. The pattern of lower highs is clear on the daily chart. The market is not in recovery mode. It's in distribution mode.
The first real support below current price is 4.1k. That's a further decline of roughly 9% from here. A daily close below 4.1k would signal that the post-parabolic correction has more to run and that we're heading back toward the pre-parabolic base zone.
What happens if 4.1k breaks and where the realistic targets sit below it, that's in today's premium breakdown. If you're holding gold in any form, that information matters.
The level above that would signal any change in the current bearish structure is something premium members are getting in detail today. The trendline context makes it clear when that moment arrives. Without it you're guessing.
For now the bias on gold is lower until the structure proves otherwise.

Silver - 75.1. Parabolic spike done. Significant downside exposed.
Silver's chart is the most striking of the four this week.
The spike to 121.3 was extraordinary. A near vertical move that compressed months of upside into a very short window. The reversal from that spike has been equally sharp. We're now at 75.1, which means silver has already given back roughly 38% from the peak. And it's not done finding its base.
The descending structure since the high has been consistent. Lower highs. Each bounce sold. The pattern is clear without needing to add anything else to it.
Below 75.1, the first level I'm watching is 69.8. That's not far from current price. Less than 8% lower. A weak week and we could be testing that level.
Below 69.8 the picture opens up considerably. There are multiple support levels between here and the 39.2 area and each of them becomes relevant if the prior one fails. The full map of those levels and what each one means in terms of the broader correction thesis is something I'm laying out in detail for premium members today.
If you're in silver or thinking about it, the level structure below current price is the most important thing you can have right now. It's in today's premium issue.
Oil - 91.8. Between two levels. Decision time.
Oil is sitting at 91.8. Trapped between 94.6 resistance above and 87.6 support below.
That's roughly a 4% range from top to bottom. It's tight. And compressed ranges in oil tend to resolve quickly when they break.
The context matters here. Oil came from a spike high of 119.2 and has been grinding lower since. The move from 119.2 to 91.8 is already a 23% decline. The question now is whether 87.6 holds and we see stabilisation or whether the declining structure from the highs eventually pushes through it.
An 87.6 break on a daily close is a macro signal, not just an oil signal. Oil leads global growth expectations. When it breaks key support in a declining trend, it tends to precede weakness in risk assets by days to weeks. That connection between oil's level structure and what it means for SPX is something I'm discussing in detail in today's premium issue.
The macro read across all four
SPX at all-time highs. Gold in a declining structure below its parabolic peak. Silver showing significant downside exposure below the spike reversal. Oil compressing between key levels closer to breakdown than breakout.
These four charts together are not telling a bullish story. They're telling a story of a market where one asset, equities, is holding up while the commodities complex is quietly deteriorating beneath it.
That divergence has a history. And that history is something worth understanding before making decisions in this environment.
I'm still in 100% cash. The setup I'm waiting for has not presented itself. When it does, you'll know.
