Steve Barton returns with this week’s Monday Market Moves, covering the S&P 500 at new highs while the dollar and yields soften ahead of a possible Fed cut. Gold extended gains with miners pushing higher, and silver broke out from a bull flag with quarterly records in view. Copper steadied near its long-term average, showing resilience despite recent pressure. 

Uranium cooled after industry events but held its broader uptrend, while oil firmed and natural gas eased near support. Coal corrected toward value zones, platinum strengthened after a failed bear flag, and nickel remained overlooked but positioned for opportunity. Bitcoin regained momentum, reclaiming key levels with eyes on prior highs. 

The episode includes technical and fundamental analysis across energy, metals, and equities, plus a preview of Steve’s newly released technical analysis video course: https://stevebarton.gumroad.com/l/TechnicalAnalysisforBeginners.
