The Final Grinch Heist: Window Dressing Desperation in Full View - Metals Continue to Rip

The Mad Dash for Metals Continues: Today's excuse? "Geopolitical Jitters" (investing.com)   


The Trade That Totally Outshines Gold & Silver; Most Investors Missed? The Trade I Flagged Earlier In The Year ["Best Trade of The Quarter Better Than Gold or Silver" [link] Platinum 

Meanwhile Gold Bugs up 0 (zero) since Oct. 


Over 50% of retail traders predict silver will repeat as top metal in 2026, experts see strong potential for platinum to take the crown (kitco.com)


$PLAT Platinum on track to clinch an 8 day winning streak, on powerful momentum. 

Up nearly 100% in just the second half of the year, but who's counting? 


Not exactly a mic drop moment, as I only noticed platinum ripping another hole in the atmosphere, last week. Crickets from the talking heads btw. Epstein files got more coverage. 

   

Full-on Bull Parade in the Spotlight 

CNBC WW Exchange highlighted a dubious cup-and-handle formation that didn't even pass the sniff test. Yet another bullish guest claimed, "the $SPX has been on an absolute tear". Having flashbacks much? 😅 

Homework: Compare the chart patterns below: 

1. $MAGS (The Roundhill Big Tech ETF) Seeing couple standout things on this chart. It's leading the longest period of sideways consolidation, we've seen since the last time the market crashed (back in Feb.). H&S pattern. 50 day sma in play. 
CNBC guest claims he sees a bullish Cup w/ handle.

Spoiler: Here's what a real Cup with handle Pattern looks like. More V shaped than U shaped. Heavy selling volume in the lower end of the V. Link to guidelines for a cup and handle pattern (investopedia.com). 

Cloudy Skies Cast  Shadow on Year-end Bull Parade

This isn't real-economy strength—it's window dressing desperation. Money managers positioning for 2026; trying to sell you on the mostly sideways market action we've seen over the past few months as the best thing since sliced bread, while at the same time predicting that the speculative rotations that helped fuel animal spirits all year are going to transform into a real bull market in 2026 (paraphrasing). 

The true Santa Rally doesn't typically kick off until the first trading days of January (historically the last 5 Dec days + first 2 Jan for ~1.3% average S&P gain)—not mid-Christmas week on thin volume.

Short Term Prediction: When traders return from Hanukkah, watch for the Grinch to pull the rug again in a final shakeout to flush the weak hands... before a January thaw drives the Dow above 50k/SPX 7000. 

Happy Holidays Take Care,
