GLD $SPDR Gold ETF (GLD.US)$ +0.95%
ð This is a classic precious metals momentum day.
Dollar slightly softer. Yields drifting lower.
Risk-off in equities, risk-on in metals.
ð What Iâm Watching
⢠SPX reclaim of 6,900 needed for bounce.
⢠NVDA must hold 180 â lose that and downside accelerates.
⢠Silver above 95 = blow-off risk.
⢠VIX holding above 20 = caution zone.

ð¯ Takeaways
This isnât panic.
Itâs rotation.
Tech cooling.
Hard assets heating.
Silver strength this aggressive usually:
1. Continues for 1â3 sessions
2. Then violently mean-reverts
Momentum traders winning today.
Chasers likely late.
Stay structured.
