INSIGHT

Metals Show Parabolic But Exhausting Move

  • Precious metals are in a parabolic, volatile phase that could be near a blow-off top.
  • Charts show trends still up but exhaustion and increased COMEX margins signal sharp reversals are possible.
ADVICE

Have An Exit Plan For Metal Positions

  • Follow the trend but be ready to take profits when volatility spikes; don't hold blindly.
  • Exit physical metals if the trend turns and re-enter later on better charts.
INSIGHT

Big Reversal Bars Signal Short-Term Risk

  • Large bearish engulfing candles after gaps higher often indicate short-term reversals, not guaranteed tops.
  • Price may consolidate inside the range and then either break down for a deeper pullback or resume the uptrend.
