In it to Win it

In this week's Monday Market Moves, I broke down the massive 2.3% rally in the S&P 500 and why I believe the market could still push toward the 7,650 level despite extremely overbought conditions.

Recording Date 5-8-2026. I explained how Fibonacci extensions from the tariff panic selloff accurately projected the recent breakout and why the current bull flag structure still points higher. I also covered the weakening U.S. dollar, critical resistance levels in gold near 4,950, and why silver continues to outperform gold as the gold-to-silver ratio compresses sharply. Copper surprised me with a major breakout above $6.15, and I believe the setup in copper miners could signal another powerful move higher across the commodity complex.
I also walked through why uranium equities remain weak short term even though long-term uranium fundamentals continue to improve with term prices holding near $91.50. Oil and energy stocks still appear vulnerable with bearish flag formations developing across crude, Brent, and XLE, although I remain constructive longer term on quality oil producers. Platinum continues to look technically stronger than palladium, while nickel may be resetting after a major breakout. Finally, I explained why Bitcoin remains technically dangerous despite a short-term bounce, including a bearish head and shoulders pattern that could target as low as $25,000 if support fails.
 
Key Insights in this episode
✅ S&P 500 gained 2.3% and hit the 7,400 target with 7,650 next
✅ Gold rose 1.9% but still faces heavy resistance near 4,950
✅ Silver surged 5.8% and continued outperforming gold
✅ Copper jumped 5.2% after breaking above the key $6.15 level
✅ Oil and Brent crude remain bearish with downside pressure building
✅ Bitcoin gained 2% but still risks a drop toward $25,000

Tara Christie is the President and CEO of Banyan Gold and one of the leading voices in Yukon gold development today.
 👉 Tara Christie:  [email protected]
👉 https://banyangold.com
Recording Date 5-7-2026. In this interview, Tara breaks down why the Aurmac Project is approaching a transformational moment as Banyan prepares to release its first Preliminary Economic Assessment in the second half of 2026. She explains how the company has already outlined nearly 8 million ounces of gold while aggressively upgrading higher-grade zones and expanding exploration potential across the district. The conversation also highlights Banyan's strategic infrastructure advantages including road access, power, and a shorter permitting timeline compared to remote projects. Tara also discusses the company's strengthened treasury after closing a major financing that positions Banyan to accelerate drilling and development through 2027.
Tara dives deep into what the upcoming PEA could reveal about Aurmac's economics including all-in sustaining costs, capital expenditures, mineable ounces, project valuation, and long-term profitability. Tara outlines why she believes the market still undervalues Banyan Gold and argues that perceptions around grade and scalability could change dramatically once the economics are published. Tara explores the implications of the Franco-Nevada royalty transaction, the evolving situation surrounding Victoria Gold's Eagle Mine, and the possibility of future district consolidation in the Yukon. Tara shares new details on Banyan's emerging high-grade silver discovery, explaining how it could eventually create an early cash flow opportunity alongside the larger gold project. Tara closes with a discussion around strategic optionality, potential acquisition interest from major miners, and why Banyan intends to continue aggressively de-risking and advancing Aurmac toward development.

Recorded on 5-1-2026. I break down the S&P 500 pushing up 0.9% and testing key Fibonacci levels while flashing mixed signals that suggest a short term pullback before continuation. I also highlight volatility dropping sharply and the dollar showing early signs of a bounce despite a longer-term bearish trend. Across rates and macro, I explain why yields may push toward 4.5% and what that means for risk assets.
I then dive deep into commodities where gold is down 2% and stuck in a wide range while silver surprises with a breakout setup that could lead to upside next week. Copper weakens, signaling economic softness, while uranium stays rangebound and oil surges nearly 9% despite expectations of near-term downside. I also cover a major breakout in nickel, continued strength in coal, and a bearish setup in Bitcoin driven by a larger bear flag pattern. I close with tactical setups, key levels, and how I'm thinking about positioning into next week.
 
Key Insights in this episode
✅ S&P 500 up 0.9% testing 38.2% Fibonacci resistance near $7000 with mixed signals
✅ VIX down 9.2% approaching $13.5 buy zone signaling lower fear
✅ Gold down 2% trading in $4100 to $5000 range with sideways bias
✅ Silver flat but breakout suggests upside toward $80 to $82 resistance
✅ Oil WTI up 8% and Brent up 9.3% but short term pullback expected
✅ Bitcoin down 0.3% forming bear flag with potential rejection near $84000

Rick Rule, one of the most respected natural resource investors of the past 50 years, and Mike Rothman, founder of Cornerstone Analytics and a veteran energy market analyst.
👉 Mike Roth Email
👉 Rick Rule
Recording Date 4-28-2026. In this episode, Rick and Mike into a bold and controversial thesis that the world is not facing an oil glut but a structural supply crisis. Mike brings decades of experience studying oil supply, demand, and geopolitics, while Rick offers a capital allocator's perspective shaped by cycles across mining, energy, and commodities. Together, they explore whether the world is on the brink of a major energy bull market. The conversation challenges mainstream narratives around oversupply and instead presents a case for a tightening market. From flawed demand forecasts to declining investment, the episode sets the stage for a potentially explosive shift in energy prices.
Mike outlines how global inventories are collapsing despite widespread claims of excess supply, driven by underestimated demand and declining non-OPEC production. He highlights how geopolitical disruptions have removed massive volumes of oil from the market, accelerating an already tight supply backdrop. Rick reinforces this by explaining how deferred capital spending has permanently damaged production capacity, making recovery far more difficult than markets expect. Both experts agree that rising prices are not just speculative but necessary to ration demand and restore balance. The conversation concludes with a powerful message that energy equities remain in the middle innings of a long-term bull cycle with significant upside ahead.
 
Key Insights in this episode
✅ Global oil demand continues to rise despite higher prices, defying traditional economic theory
✅ Underinvestment of over 3.6 trillion dollars has structurally reduced future oil supply
✅ Non OPEC production growth is slowing while shale output faces steep decline rates
✅ Inventory drawdowns contradict the widespread belief in a global oil glut
✅ Geopolitical disruptions have removed over 10 million barrels per day from supply
✅ Energy equities are still in the middle phase of a multi year secular bull market

In this week's Monday Market Moves, I break down a shocking divergence across markets as stocks push higher toward new targets while gold and silver sharply sell off and oil explodes 13% raising the question of whether we are witnessing the start of a major macro shift.

Recorded on 4-24-2026. I walk through the S&P 500 pushing higher after breaking key Fibonacci resistance while the U.S. dollar continues to weaken inside a long-term channel. I also highlight rising bond yields signaling potential stress in global demand for U.S. debt. Across commodities I analyze sharp pullbacks in gold and silver alongside a strong surge in oil and a breakout in nickel that could signal a major trend shift.
I then dive into the implications of these moves and where capital could flow next. Precious metals are showing weakness with downside targets forming while copper and uranium remain mixed with slight bullish bias. Energy markets surged but are likely due for a pullback as technical resistance kicks in. Natural gas appears to be breaking down structurally while coal enters a seasonal opportunity window. Finally, I assess Bitcoin sitting at a key inflection point with no clear edge signaling caution for traders in the near term.
 
Key Insights in this episode
✅ S&P 500 up 0.6% with bullish continuation targeting $7400 via Fibonacci extension
✅ U.S. dollar downtrend intact with potential breakdown toward 90 level
✅ Gold down 2.8% with possible retracement toward $4000 and 38.2% level
✅ Silver down 6.6% confirming bear flag with further downside likely
✅ Oil up 13% but showing signs of short-term reversal after resistance hit
✅ Nickel up 6.25% with confirmed breakout signaling strong upside momentum
