Recording Date 8-30-2026. The S&P 500 gained 0.5%, and I'm giving it a modest 55% probability of moving higher, while the DXY jumped 0.9% and broke several important moving averages. Precious metals were much weaker. Gold dropped 3.2% after being rejected around $4,755, and I think the correction has further to run, with support around $4,450, $4,400 and $4,265. Silver fell 2.5% after reaching $72.05, while GDX dropped 3.1% and PSLV lost 4.4%. I also explain how I use staged 15%, 35% and 50% allocations, Fibonacci retracements, and historical support and resistance to build positions as prices become cheaper.

In commodities, I'm watching some very different opportunities develop. Copper gained 1.1%, and I think it could challenge a new all-time high, although the COPX copper miners ETF looks vulnerable to a pullback. Uranium barely moved at 0.1%, but URNM fell 2.6%, creating what I see as a potentially attractive accumulation opportunity around $56, with deeper levels near $50 and $47.50. WTI dropped 3.7%, while Brent fell 5.7%, yet I remain constructive on oil beyond the near-term weakness. Natural gas gained 4.1%, palladium surged 5.8%, and I remain optimistic on platinum despite its 2.2% weekly decline. Nickel, meanwhile, fell 1.6%, and after reassessing its chart in real time, I'm leaning bearish for next week.
