Overview
The dominant market theme has shifted toward:
“Equity weakness, yen-cross consolidation, and a rebound in commodities.”
One particularly interesting development is that:
-
Gold
-
Silver
-
Bitcoin
have all turned bullish on shorter timeframes.
This suggests that capital is beginning to rotate into alternative assets even as broader risk sentiment deteriorates.

-

-
