Recording Date 6-26-2026. The S&P 500 finished down 2% for the week and now looks like it has shifted into a short-term downtrend with lower highs and lower lows, while the U.S. dollar rose 0.6% and the 10-year yield dropped 1.8% to around 4.38%. I also cover the wild SpaceX chart after SPCX fell 17.2% for the week, including the topping tail, the possible bear pennant, and how aggressive traders could watch SSPC as a short-term way to play downside if SPCX breaks below 150. This is exactly the type of week where I want my limit orders set ahead of time because fast selloffs in names like PHYS, GDX, PSLV, SIL, COPX, URNM, XLE, FCG, PICK, and BOIL can create buy opportunities before most investors even react.

I also dig deep into the commodity charts, starting with gold down 3.5%, PHYS down 3.7%, and GDX down 6.7% as gold tested the 4,100 area and showed positive RSI divergence. Silver was hit even harder, falling 10.7%, while PSLV dropped 10.9% and SIL fell 6.3%, but the silver miners are holding up better than the metal itself. Copper fell 3.8% and COPX dropped 10.9% after losing the major 6.15 support line, uranium slipped 0.9% while URNM fell 7.8%, and I explain why summer seasonality and the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust discount could give investors a better entry. I also cover WTI oil down 7%, XLE holding near key moving averages, natural gas up 1.1% with BOIL as a possible short term trade, coal stocks selling off with the coal ETF down 5.3%, platinum down 3.5%, palladium down 5.3%, nickel futures down 4.2%, PICK down 7.9%, and Bitcoin down 5.2% as the larger bear flag breakdown still points to risk despite a possible short term bounce.

Key Insights in this episode

✅ S&P 500 fell 2% and shifted into a short term downtrend, with support I'm watching near 7,150.

✅ SpaceX dropped 17.2%, and until SPCX can close above 225, I see the chart as bearish with 150 as the key breakdown level.

✅ Gold dropped 3.5%, but RSI divergence suggests a possible bounce after testing the 4,100 area.

✅ Silver plunged 10.7% and still looks weak to me, with resistance near 63 to 64 and support closer to 50 to 54.

✅ Copper fell 3.8% and lost key 6.15 support, while COPX dropped 10.9%, making me cautious short term.

✅ Oil, Uranium, Nickel And Bitcoin remain under pressure, with WTI down 7%, URNM down 7.8%, nickel down 4.2%, and Bitcoin down 5.2%.

Recording Date 6-25-2026. In this episode, Jordan joins Steve Barton to answer viewer questions on gold, silver, royalty companies, uranium, inflation, and the Federal Reserve. He starts with Alamos Gold, arguing that the selloff tied to issues at the Young Davidson mine looks more like a temporary operational setback than a permanent impairment. Jordan also compares physical gold and the Sprott Physical Gold Trust against major royalty companies like Franco Nevada, Wheaton Precious Metals, and Royal Gold, explaining why the royalty model can outperform gold over time through mine expansions, reserve growth, and long asset lives.

Jordan then breaks down the macro setup around gold, interest rates, quantitative tightening, and the possibility of gold consolidating near the $3,500 range if tighter Fed policy pressures markets. He argues that high debt levels make aggressive long-term tightening difficult, which could eventually lead back to money printing, inflation, and renewed support for precious metals. The conversation moves into silver, where Jordan discusses Silver Crown Royalties, Michael Gentile's long-term investment view, and why silver looks more attractive after correcting from extreme highs. He also covers royalty opportunities in Altius, Kora Royalties, Elemental Royalties, Wheaton Precious Metals, and Royal Gold, before closing with Denison Mines and the Phoenix uranium project, where he says the asset is strong but a $20 stock target looks unrealistic based on current valuation math.

Key Insights in this episode

✅ Alamos Gold's selloff may be a temporary setback, creating a long-term buying opportunity.

✅ Major royalty companies have historically outperformed physical gold through long-term asset growth.

✅ Jordan expects inflation and money printing to remain long-term drivers for precious metals.

✅ Silver looks more attractive after its correction, with fundamentals improving from previous highs.

✅ Royalty companies like Royal Gold and Wheaton Precious Metals offer strong long-term value.

✅ Denison's Phoenix project is promising, but current valuations make a $20 share price unlikely.

Tom Hartel's 35 Market Rules That Could Save Your Portfolio Jun 24, 2026

Show notes

Tom Hartel is a veteran trader and investor who has spent decades navigating bull markets, bear markets, commodity cycles, and speculative booms.

📩 Free Substack Newsletter

Recording Date 6-24-2026. In this episode, Tom joins Steve Barton to share the investing framework and risk management principles that have allowed him to survive and prosper through multiple market environments. Rather than focusing on specific stock picks, Tom lays out a comprehensive blueprint for protecting capital, avoiding catastrophic mistakes, and building sustainable wealth over time. He explains why investors should limit exposure to any single idea, carefully manage position sizes, diversify across asset classes, and avoid becoming emotionally attached to investments. Drawing from years of experience in equities, commodities, futures, and resource investing, Tom argues that successful investing is far more dependent on discipline and risk control than on finding the next ten-bagger. He also discusses lessons learned from following respected investors such as Rick Rule and highlights the importance of studying long-term trends before they become obvious to the broader market.

Throughout the conversation, Tom dives into practical strategies for managing portfolios during both bull and bear markets, including scaling into positions, documenting investment theses, setting profit targets in advance, and using trailing stops to protect gains. The discussion expands into Bitcoin, taxes, leveraged ETFs, options, futures contracts, and the psychological traps that cause investors to abandon their plans at exactly the wrong time. Tom also references insights from the widely followed In Gold We Trust Report and explains why investors should pay close attention to precious metals, commodities, and broader macroeconomic cycles. He warns against blindly following hot tips, chasing momentum during speculative surges, and overtrading during volatile periods. As the episode concludes, Tom emphasizes that investing is a lifelong learning process requiring humility, patience, continuous education, and constant adaptation. His central message is clear: investors who prioritize capital preservation, manage risk relentlessly, and remain emotionally disciplined will be best positioned to benefit from future opportunities across stocks, commodities, precious metals, Bitcoin, and emerging market trends.

Key Insights in this episode

✅ Never risk more than 5% of total net worth on a single investment idea

✅ Capital preservation and avoiding catastrophic losses are more important than finding huge winners

✅ Diversification should extend across asset classes rather than multiple positions in the same sector

✅ Investors should scale into positions, document investment theses, and establish profit targets before buying

✅ Futures, leverage, and leveraged ETFs require strict risk controls due to volatility and decay

✅ Taking profits during market manias and parabolic moves is often more important than maximizing gains

Gold Drops 1.7% And The 4100 Breakdown Could Get Ugly ~ Monday Market Moves Jun 21, 2026

Show notes

In this week's Monday Market Moves, I'm breaking down a market that looks ready to push higher in the S&P 500, but underneath the surface, commodities, energy, miners, and Bitcoin are flashing some very different signals.

📩 Substack

👉 Technical Analysis Video Series

Recording Date 6-13-2026. The S&P 500 finished up 0.9% and looks to me like it may be forming a bull flag near the highs, which keeps my bias higher heading into next week. The U.S. dollar gained 1% and broke above the 100.6 level before pulling back, and if that level holds, I think it could keep pressure on commodities. Gold dropped 1.7% after rejecting near 4,400, and now 4,100 is the key line in the sand that could decide whether this is just a pullback or the start of a faster flush lower. I also walk through SpaceX sentiment, the 10-year yield, PHYS buying levels, GDX miner strength, and why the metals market may be giving us a very interesting divergence.

Silver fell 2.1% and I think the 50 to 54 range comes into play quickly if gold loses 4,100, while PSLV is sitting near the 20 level and SIL actually gained 2.5% despite weakness in the metal. Copper dipped 0.8%, but I still think it can move higher if it clears 6.70, with 6.90, 7.08, and 7.64 as the next key levels, I'm watching. Uranium continues to look constructive with the term price still at 94, SRUUF up 1.8%, an 11.5% discount available near 18.50, and URNM up 5.3% in what looks like another possible bull flag setup. Oil was the biggest opportunity of the week in my view, with WTI down 10.4%, Brent down 7.4%, and XLE down 6.6%, which is why I started putting capital back to work in select oil companies and service names. I finish by breaking down natural gas up 2.2%, coal's 9.3% pullback in Pacific thermal futures, platinum down 2.3%, nickel down 1.4%, PICK as a core mining ETF, and Bitcoin down 3.5% with my target still around 25,000 to 30,000 before I get aggressive on the long side again.

Key Insights in this episode

✅ The S&P 500 is setting up for a possible move higher after gaining 0.9 percent, with the chart looking like a bull flag near all-time highs.

✅ The U.S. dollar gained 1 percent and may keep pressure on commodities if it holds support around the 100.6 level on the DXY.

✅ Gold fell 1.7 percent and now must defend 4,100, because a break below that level could trigger a fast drop toward 3,900 or even deeper support.

✅ Silver dropped 2.1 percent and could quickly fall toward the 50 to 54 range if gold fails to hold its key support level.

✅ Uranium continues to act well with the uranium price up 0.6 percent, SRUUF up 1.8 percent, and URNM up 5.3 percent as the sector builds strength.

✅ Oil's 10.4 percent crash in WTI looks like a buying opportunity to me, while Bitcoin's 3.5 percent drop still points to more downside toward my 25,000 to 30,000 target zone.

Gold Crashes 2.9% While Uranium Sets Up The Next Big Rally ~ Monday Market Moves Jun 14, 2026

Show notes

In this week's Monday Market Moves, I break down the biggest developments across the S&P 500, precious metals, uranium, energy, base metals, and Bitcoin after a volatile week that created several potential opportunities for investors.

📩 Substack

👉 Technical Analysis Video Series

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.

In this week's Monday Market Moves, I break down one of the most volatile weeks we have seen across financial markets in recent months.

👉 Technical Analysis Video Series

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.

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.

Copper Miners Could Outperform S&P 500 By 300% Says Steve Barton ~ Monday Market Moves May 24, 2026

Show notes

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.

📩 Substack

👉 Technical Analysis Video Series

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

Recording Date 5-20-2026. In this episode, Axel joins Steve Barton to break down the growing risks inside the global financial system, including rising bond yields, inflation pressures, central bank policy mistakes, and geopolitical tensions impacting energy markets and precious metals. Axel explains how tariffs disrupt global capital flows and increase borrowing costs, why he believes incentives ultimately drive economic outcomes, and why long-term investors should focus on preserving purchasing power instead of reacting emotionally to short-term market volatility. He also shares why gold became a core part of his investment philosophy, how central banks continue accumulating gold as a strategic reserve asset, and why pricing homes and college tuition in gold reveals the long-term decline in fiat currency purchasing power.

Axel also gives a detailed outlook on the future of the Federal Reserve and explains why he believes Kevin Warsh would bring a far more disciplined and hawkish approach to monetary policy than recent Fed leadership. He argues that the Federal Reserve has become too politically involved through policies like mortgage-backed security purchases and excessive intervention, creating distortions that ultimately increase long-term borrowing costs and financial instability. The conversation also explores gold demand, silver accumulation, oil market volatility, and how geopolitical conflicts could accelerate nearshoring and structural shifts across the global economy. Axel discusses why markets currently expect oil prices to normalize over time despite Middle East tensions, while warning that prolonged government intervention and fiscal stimulus programs could eventually create stronger tailwinds for precious metals. By the end of the interview, Axel emphasizes that successful investing requires discipline, a long-term process, and a deep understanding of how governments and central banks respond during periods of economic stress and market uncertainty.
