Oil To 200 And Markets Collapse What Investors Must Do Now ~ John Polomny
John Polomny, a veteran resource investor and publisher of Actionable Intelligence Alert on Substack, brings over 30 years of experience uncovering overlooked opportunities in commodities and global markets. π John's YouTube π John's Substack π© Premium Newsletter 15% Off Golden Egg Special π© 15% Off Technical Analysis Charts Video Series - Discount Code "GOLDENEGG" π© Website π© Substack π Technical Analysis Video Series Recording Date 3-30-2026. In this episode, he lays out a stark and urgent macro view shaped by geopolitical escalation and energy supply disruptions. He argues that the Strait of Hormuz and Red Sea dynamics now dominate global markets, warning that the loss of critical oil flows could destabilize the entire world economy. Polomny frames the current situation as part of a broader era of systemic volatility tied to geopolitical conflict and fifth-generation warfare. He explains how constrained energy flows are already triggering cascading effects across fuel, fertilizer, and food systems, with severe consequences for global supply chains and emerging economies. Polomny highlights how oil shortages, rising fertilizer costs, and disrupted planting cycles could lead to widespread economic pain and even political instability. From an investment perspective, he emphasizes that this is no longer a traditional market but a high-risk trading environment driven by headlines and policy shifts. He concludes that while short-term conditions are dangerous, major long-term opportunities will emerge, particularly in commodities and hard assets once the crisis stabilizes. Key Insights in this episode β

A loss of 10 to 20 percent of global oil supply could halt economic activity worldwideβ

S&P 500 Crash 2.1% VIX Explodes 16% Gold Setup Signals Big Move ~ Monday Market Moves
In this week's Monday Market Moves, I break down what I am seeing across the markets after another rough week for equities and a growing list of important setups in commodities. π© Premium Newsletter 15% Off Golden Egg Special π© 15% Off Technical Analysis Charts Video Series - Discount Code "GOLDENEGG" π© Website π© Substack π Technical Analysis Video Series Recorded on 3-27-2026. I explain why I believe the S&P 500 is breaking down technically after falling 2.1 percent and why I think we could still see a move toward $6,100 or even $6,000 in the near term. I also cover the 16 percent jump in the VIX, the move in the dollar, and the steady rise in the 10-year yield as signals that fear and pressure are still building under the surface. Throughout the first half of the episode, I make the case that weakness in stocks is becoming more pronounced while selective opportunities are beginning to emerge in hard assets. I spend a big part of this episode on gold because I believe its recent touch of the 200-day moving average is a major event in an ongoing bull market and could become an important long-term buying signal. I also explain why silver may bounce early next week even though I still expect another correction before the next major push higher. Beyond precious metals, I stay constructive on uranium, where I believe current levels are attractive for both physical uranium exposure and uranium miners, while oil remains the most conflicted market on my screen because bearish technicals are clashing with bullish geopolitical fundamentals. I close by warning that Bitcoin still looks vulnerable to me, with support near $62,000, resistance near $76,000, and a broader structure that suggests more downside may still be ahead. Key Insights in this episode β
S&P 500 down 2.1% breaking key support with downside targets near 6,000 and 4,825β
VIX up 16% signaling rising market fear and volatility expansionβ
U.S. dollar up 0.7% but expected to weaken after resistance near 100.4β
Gold down 1.8% but bullish after touching 200-day moving average with support at 4,350β
Silver up 0.2% short-term upside but likely correction toward 200-day average near 56β
Copper up 2.2% but bearish pattern suggests pullback toward long-term supportβ
Uranium up 0.5% with 80 million pounds removed from supply tightening market significantlyβ
Oil WTI up 1.4% with bearish charts but strong geopolitical bullish fundamentalsβ
Natural gas down 0.1% holding trendline with ETF stretched far above key averagesβ
Platinum down 4.2% hitting 200-day average with confirmation still neededβ
Nickel up 0.9% forming bullish structure but recession risk remainsβ

David Skarica Warns S&P 500 Could Crash 20% From Here
David Skarica, a veteran contrarian investor and author known for his macro market insights, returns to break down the current state of global markets amid rising geopolitical tensions and shifting monetary expectations. π Mega Returns π Profits From Pessimism π© Substack π Technical Analysis Video Series Recording Date 3-24-2026. In this episode, David explains how recent moves in gold, silver, and oil reflect deeper structural changes rather than short-term noise. Drawing from decades of experience studying market cycles and investor psychology, Skarica highlights why he moved heavily into cash and defensive positioning. He also shares how sentiment, speculation, and global liquidity are driving unusual behavior across asset classes. This episode sets the stage for a potential turning point in markets. Skarica dives deeper into the implications of a possible equity market correction, arguing that gold and silver may continue consolidating before their next major breakout. He outlines a scenario where rising oil prices and persistent deficits force central banks into a difficult position between inflation and recession. According to him, a liquidity crisis could trigger aggressive monetary easing, which would ultimately fuel a powerful rally in precious metals. He also emphasizes structural issues like declining foreign demand for U.S. debt and geopolitical instability reshaping energy markets. The conversation concludes with tactical insights on positioning, highlighting selective re-entry into oversold assets while maintaining caution. Key Insights in this episode β
Skarica moved 70 to 75 percent into cash expecting a market shakeout driven by geopolitical riskβ
S&P 500 key breakdown level near 6500 could trigger accelerated downside and volatility spikeβ
Gold and silver may decline further short term due to liquidity stress before a major breakoutβ
Massive US deficits and rising debt costs remain the strongest long-term bullish driver for goldβ
Oil prices may be artificially suppressed despite tight physical supply and geopolitical tensionsβ
Copper and energy transition demand could rise despite recession due to EV and infrastructure shifts Tools for Success that I Love and find Helpful / Affiliates: Technical Analysis Series Rule Symposium 2026 Rule Classroom (Free) Rule Classroom Plus (2 Free Months) TradingView (Free) Lobo's Weekly Recap (Free) Uranium Insider Newsletter Chapters 00:00 David Skarica Joins the Show 03:17 S&P 500 Chart and Market Breakdown Risk 08:28 Gold Outlook and Short Term Weakness 13:57 Aveeno Silver Entry and Oversold Setup 18:48 Gold Chart Levels and Consolidation View 23:05 Silver Chart and Long Term Support 26:12 JP Morgan Silver Price Impact Debate 28:46 Copper Chart Recession Versus EV Demand 32:08 Oil Outlook and Transocean Analysis 34:04 Where to Follow David Skarica DISCLAIMER: I am not a financial advisor.

Gold Down 9.6% Silver Down 14.4% Market Shock ~ Monday Market Moves
In this week's Monday Market Moves, I walked through a broad breakdown of the markets, starting with the S&P 500, which fell 1.9% and confirmed a continued downtrend after failing at the 200-day moving average. π© Website π© Substack π Technical Analysis Video Series Recorded on 3-20-2026. I explained why I expect further downside toward the 6,000β6,100 range as volatility remains elevated and yields move higher. I also highlighted weakness in the dollar and how macro factors like global tensions and liquidity pressures are influencing market direction. Overall, my outlook for equities in the near term remains bearish, with key resistance and support levels clearly defined. In commodities, I covered sharp declines across gold and silver, both of which are now trending lower with strong downside momentum and likely heading toward major support zones and their 200-day averages. I pointed out a potential bounce setup in copper at its 200-day moving average, while uranium continues to weaken short term despite strong structural fundamentals. In energy, oil remains indecisive with a bearish tilt, while natural gas and coal appear stretched and due for pullbacks. I also discussed continued weakness in platinum and palladium, a bullish setup forming in nickel, and a potential short-term rebound in Bitcoin as momentum begins to shift.

Doomberg Explains Why Oil Stays Near $95 Despite 8M Barrel Supply Shock
Doomberg joins the discussion to break down the surprising stability in oil markets amid the Iran conflict and the disruption of the Strait of Hormuz, revealing why prices remain anchored near $95 WTI despite one of the most significant geopolitical shocks in decades. π Doomberg Substack π© Substack π Technical Analysis Video Series Recording Date 3-16-2026. In this interview, Doomberg explains how the global oil market is absorbing a potential multi-million barrel per day supply disruption through a combination of excess global capacity, strategic petroleum reserve releases, and rapid production responses from regions such as U.S. shale, Russia, Canada, Venezuela, and Argentina. He outlines a "supply waterfall" framework, showing how incremental production, inventory drawdowns, and demand destruction can offset even large shocks, keeping prices far below extreme forecasts. According to Doomberg, the market's calm is signaling that the world is not short oil, but rather well supplied, even in crisis conditions. Doomberg also dives into the mechanics of oil pricing, emphasizing that the quoted "price of oil" depends heavily on contract timing, delivery location, and futures roll dynamics, factors often misunderstood during volatile periods. He highlights how past anomalies, including negative WTI pricing, illustrate the importance of understanding contract structures. Looking ahead, Doomberg expects oil prices to trend significantly lower over the next 12β18 months, arguing that any spike driven by war would be temporary and ultimately unsustainable as supply overwhelms demand. He also explores longer-term implications, including new pipeline infrastructure to bypass chokepoints and the broader political consequences shaping market sentiment. Key Insights in this episode β
Doomberg explains why oil remains near $95 despite a major geopolitical shock β
Global oversupply, SPR releases, and rapid production response stabilize prices β
Strait of Hormuz disruption exposes risks, but not a true shortage β
Markets adjust through "all-of-the-above" supply, rerouting, and substitution β
Oil pricing depends on contracts, location, and futures roll dynamics β
LNG disruption is smaller in global context than headlines suggest β

Gold Still Leads Commodities in Risk-Reward, Says Adrian Day
Adrian Day, founder of Adrian Day Asset Management, joins the discussion to share his outlook on global markets, commodities, and the macro forces shaping resource investing. π Adrian Day π© Substack π Technical Analysis Video Series Recording Date 3-10-2026. The conversation covers geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, how markets typically react to conflict, and why commodities such as gold and oil often move ahead of major geopolitical events through a "buy the rumor, sell the news" dynamic. Day also discusses the current positioning of energy markets, explaining why oil stocks had already rallied prior to recent conflict risks and how supply disruptions, shipping routes, and global liquidity needs can influence commodity prices. Adrian also explores the outlook for major commodities including gold, silver, copper, uranium, and agricultural markets. Day explains why he believes gold offers the strongest risk-reward profile due to central bank buying and limited retail participation, while copper remains attractive because of long-term supply shortages tied to electrification and infrastructure demand. Additional topics include mining costs driven by energy prices, the impact of commodity currencies such as the Canadian and Australian dollar, farmland and agriculture investments, and the broader outlook for commodity markets heading into 2026. Key Insights in this episode β
Geopolitical events often push gold and oil prices higher before the actual conflict occurs. β
Gold's recent moves are driven more by the U.S. dollar and liquidity than by war itself. β
Oil stocks had already risen before tensions because companies were buying back shares and paying strong dividends. β
Diesel and energy prices are the biggest cost factors for mining companies. β
Gold remains attractive due to strong central bank demand and limited retail participation. β
Copper is bullish long term because global supply may not meet future demand. β
Uranium is still a long-term opportunity but may need pullbacks before new entries.

Oil's 35% Explosion: 6 Markets to Watch Next ~ Monday Market Moves
In this week's Monday Market Moves, I walk through what happened across the markets and what I'm watching for next week as volatility rises. π© Website π© Substack π Technical Analysis Video Series 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.

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.
