Recording Date 6-13-2026. The S&P 500 gained 0.7% and continues to show signs of resilience, while the U.S. dollar remains caught between a longer-term bearish trend and a short-term bullish setup. Gold fell 2.9% and silver dropped 1.6%, pushing both metals into key support zones that I believe could represent some of the best buying opportunities we have seen in months. I also discuss why the recent surge of investor interest in SpaceX may be a warning sign and explain how sentiment often reaches extremes near important turning points in the market.
I then dive into the sectors that I believe offer the most compelling risk versus reward setups going forward. Copper gained 2.6% and continues to show technical strength, while uranium remains one of my highest conviction long-term themes as physical uranium trades at a significant discount to underlying value despite higher future contract prices. Oil fell 6.6% and energy stocks remain under pressure, while coal presented another attractive entry opportunity following a sharp pullback. I also examine platinum, palladium, nickel, and Bitcoin, highlighting the key technical levels that could determine their next major moves. Despite recent volatility across the commodity sector, I remain constructive on precious metals, uranium, and select resource investments as investors position for what could be the next phase of the commodity bull market.
 
Key Insights in this episode
✅ S&P 500 gained 0.7% and held key support near the 50-day moving average with an upside bias toward resistance around 7,600.
✅ U.S. Dollar Index fell 0.3% but remains in a longer-term bear structure while showing short-term bullish momentum toward 100.6 resistance.
✅ Gold dropped 2.9% and Silver fell 1.6%, creating what I view as attractive buying opportunities despite uncertainty around whether the final bottom is in place.
✅ Copper advanced 2.6% while COPX surged 6.6%, reinforcing the bullish outlook after support held near key technical levels.
✅ Uranium was nearly flat at -0.1%, but physical uranium vehicles are trading at roughly a 10% discount, presenting a potentially attractive long-term opportunity.
✅ Oil declined 6.6%, Natural Gas fell 2.3%, Platinum dropped 4.8%, Nickel lost 4.2%, and Bitcoin gained 0.6%, with several markets approaching major technical decision points.

Recording Date 6-5-2026. With the S&P 500 falling 2.6%, the VIX exploding 40%, gold dropping 5%, silver plunging 8.9%, and Bitcoin losing more than 17%, investors were hit with a broad risk-off move across nearly every major asset class. At the same time, the U.S. dollar strengthened, bond yields pushed higher, and several commodity sectors approached critical technical levels. In this episode, I explain what caused the damage, where the best opportunities may be developing, and how I am positioning for the weeks ahead.
While the recent selloff has created plenty of uncertainty, it has also begun creating opportunities in several sectors that I continue to monitor closely. Uranium fundamentals are improving, coal remains in a strong long-term trend, and many commodity-related equities are approaching levels where risk and reward become increasingly attractive. The key over the coming weeks will be identifying which support levels hold and which sectors continue attracting capital despite broader market weakness. As always, I will continue tracking the charts, updating my positions, and sharing the setups that offer the best potential upside as the next major market move begins to unfold.
 
Key Insights in this episode
✅ The S&P 500 fell 2.6% while the VIX jumped 40%, signaling a sharp rise in market fear and volatility.
✅ The U.S. dollar gained 1.1% as bond yields moved higher, adding pressure to risk assets.
✅ Gold dropped 5.0% and silver fell 8.9%, with both metals breaking important support levels.
✅ Uranium rose 0.7% and term prices reached $94 per pound, even as uranium stocks sold off.
✅ Oil gained 2.8%, natural gas slipped 1.2%, and coal rose as much as 5.3%, making coal one of the week's strongest commodities.
✅ Platinum fell 6.8%, nickel declined 2.0%, and Bitcoin plunged 17.3% as selling pressure intensified across alternative assets.

Recording Date 5-0-2026. The S&P 500 gained another 1.4% while the VIX fell 8.4%, signaling growing investor confidence, but beneath the surface I'm seeing several markets begin to flash caution signals. Gold bounced perfectly off its 200-day moving average, copper remains one of my favorite long-term commodity themes, and uranium continues to offer opportunities for patient investors willing to buy when sentiment cools. At the same time, silver, platinum, uranium equities, and Bitcoin are all starting to display bearish technical patterns that suggest we could see more volatility and lower prices before the next major move higher.
Energy was the biggest story of the week as oil plunged 9.5% after breaking down from a major chart pattern, while natural gas rallied into resistance and coal stocks continued to strengthen. I walk through the key levels I'm watching across commodities, mining stocks, precious metals, and crypto, explaining where I think the best risk-reward opportunities are developing. While I remain bullish on the long-term outlook for resource investments, many sectors appear to be working through corrections that could create even better entry points in the weeks ahead. As always, I focus on probabilities, technical setups, and where I'm looking to deploy capital next as we head into another important week for the markets.

Recording Date 5-26-2026. In this episode, Doomberg joins Steve Barton to break down the hidden mechanics behind oil markets, strategic petroleum reserves, China's possible secret stockpiling of crude, and why oil prices failed to reach the levels many expected during escalating Middle East tensions. Doomberg explains how governments actively intervene to suppress speculative oil spikes and why the global energy system proved far more resilient than many analysts predicted. The discussion also explores how China may have quietly accumulated enormous oil reserves while global markets misunderstood demand trends for years. Throughout the conversation, Doomberg challenges conventional narratives around peak oil, energy scarcity, and commodity investing.
Doomberg also dives into the growing danger of attacks on global energy infrastructure and warns that the normalization of pipeline sabotage and refinery strikes could permanently reshape geopolitical stability. He argues that the post-World War II international order is being tested as sanctions, military escalation, and infrastructure warfare become more common among major powers. The episode expands into discussions around sulfur shortages, helium markets, aircraft carrier vulnerability, and why modern warfare is changing rapidly through drones and missile technology. Doomberg emphasizes that markets consistently adapt faster than panic headlines suggest, while also cautioning that long term geopolitical risks are increasing. The interview closes with insights on energy investing, Exxon's success in Guyana, and why midstream and infrastructure com

In this week's Monday Market Moves, I broke down why the S&P 500 may be losing momentum despite gaining 0.9% as weakening RSI signals, a near double top, and falling volatility could point to a short-term market pullback.

Recording Date 5-22-2026. I also explained why the U.S. dollar may continue strengthening while bond yields cooled after recent spikes, easing fears of a runaway move higher in Treasury yields. Across precious metals, I discussed why gold down 0.9% and silver down 1.7% still appear vulnerable to additional downside before reaching stronger long-term buying zones, while platinum and palladium continued showing mixed technical setups.
I also highlighted why copper remains one of the strongest long-term opportunities after gaining 1.4%, with copper miners potentially outperforming the S&P 500 significantly if the breakout structure continues holding. Uranium, coal, nickel, oil, natural gas, and diversified mining equities were all discussed as major long term hard asset opportunities despite short term volatility and possible washout selloffs creating better entries. I finished the episode by explaining why Bitcoin could still move lower toward 72000 while emphasizing disciplined technical analysis, staggered buying strategies, and focusing on long term commodity and energy trends instead of short-term market noise.
 
Key Insights in this episode
✅ S&P 500 up 0.9% but weakening RSI signals a likely short-term pullback near major resistance
✅ VIX fell 9.3% while the U.S. dollar pushed toward key breakout levels above 99.5
✅ Gold dropped 0.9% with Steve Barton targeting a possible move toward 4100 before turning bullish
✅ Silver fell 1.7% as bearish chart patterns point to further downside pressure
✅ Copper gained 1.4% with copper miners potentially outperforming the S&P 500 by 300%
✅ Uranium coal energy and mining sectors remain long term bullish while Bitcoin risks falling toward 72000
