In this week's Monday Market Moves, I break down major shifts across the commodity landscape. The S&P 500 hit a new high before fading slightly, while the DXY gained 0.8% and approaches key resistance. Yields ticked higher, but downside pressure may be building. The VIX rose 6.5%, flashing early risk-off signals. Gold and silver ended the month with bearish closes—gold showing a topping tail and silver looking weak technically. I walked through key Fibonacci retracement levels and stressed stacking physical metals first before diving into miners and leveraged setups.

Uranium jumped over 6% as the Sprott Trust added 550,000 pounds of U₃O₈ and held well above its 200-day moving average. Copper stayed strong, trading above $5, while COPX showed signs of a triple bottom. Oil is consolidating into a bullish flag and could make a run at $68. Natural gas reversed sharply, surging 24.8% to wipe out the prior bearish structure. Coal paused, platinum kept flagging lower, and palladium formed a clean cup and handle setup. Nickel stayed pinned at support, and Bitcoin continues to hover near its 200-day average with weakness starting to appear.
