Steve Barton returns with this week’s Monday Market Moves, breaking down the S&P 500’s intraday record and sharp fade alongside a weaker U.S. dollar and stalled yields. Gold pressed against a bull-flag breakout while silver closed at a 14-year high, extending momentum in precious metals. Miners hit measured targets, and copper steadied with upside potential toward $52 on COPX. 

Uranium advanced as tight spot markets and ETF inflows supported further gains, while energy split directions—oil’s moving averages stayed bearish even as natural gas staged a rebound. Coal approached a golden cross, platinum flagged lower, and nickel tested its 200-DMA. Bitcoin lost traction, risking further downside toward longer-term support.

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.
