Recorded on 3-6-2026. I start with the S&P 500, which fell about 2% and is now showing a topping pattern after breaking a key trend line. With the VIX up sharply and the dollar strengthening as capital moves toward perceived safety, I explain why I'm leaning bearish on equities in the short term and where the next major support levels could appear if selling accelerates.
From there I break down the key commodity markets. Gold slipped slightly but continues to trade within a well-defined channel, while silver and the miners were hit harder and are forming bearish flag patterns. Copper remains weak until it can clear a previous topping tail, uranium equities are breaking down toward the 200-day moving average buy zones, and oil surged more than 35% on geopolitical tensions and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. I also cover natural gas strength, coal's reaction to energy markets, bearish setups in platinum and palladium, bullish consolidation forming in nickel, and a short-term technical outlook for Bitcoin as it approaches resistance near the 50-day moving average.
