He explains how retail driven optimism is lifting prices while professional traders remain largely sidelined, keeping volatility compressed and the VIX subdued. The dollar tests the lower boundary of a long-term channel before bouncing, setting up a potential inflection points for currencies and commodities. Attention then turns to precious metals where gold confirms a decisive breakout to new highs, silver surges aggressively with backwardation signaling tight physical supply, and mining equities continue trending higher as capital flows toward hard assets. The episode then moves through the broader commodity landscape with copper accelerating alongside improving volume, uranium holding firm as spot prices lag stronger term contracts, and energy presenting opportunity through weakness. Crude oil retreats after rejection at key moving averages, leaving oil equities historically cheap and setting up longer term value. Platinum and palladium post powerful gains led by platinum clearing prior highs, while nickel rebounds from a double bottom. Bitcoin remains under pressure, carving out a large bearish formation as support levels come into focus. Steve wraps up by addressing viewer feedback, outlining portfolio positioning, and previewing upcoming live streams, bootcamps, and educational content for serious investors. 👉 Rick Rule's Gold Bootcamp 📩 Join our Premium Newsletter 15% off! 📩 December 21 to January 2 15% Off Technical Analysis Charts Video Series Key Market Insights This Week: ✅ S&P 500 up 1.4%, breaking to new all-time highs on light holiday volume ✅ U.S. dollar down 0.7%, testing long term channel support before bouncing ✅ Volatility index down 8.7%, reflecting strong risk appetite ✅ Gold up 3.7%, closing at new record highs in futures ✅ Silver up 14.4%, exploding higher with signs of physical tightness ✅ Copper up 6.0%, accelerating with strong momentum ✅ Uranium flat near 76 spot, while term contracts remain elevated ✅ Oil up 0.4%, rejected at key averages and still vulnerable to downside ✅ Natural gas weak, continuing to trade below major resistance levels ✅ Coal stabilizing, showing early base building behavior ✅ Platinum up 22.4% and palladium up 13.2%, both delivering outsized gains ✅ Nickel up 6.8%, rebounding from a clear double bottom ✅ Bitcoin down 1.5%, remaining within a developing bearish structure 👉 Rick Rule's Gold Bootcamp 📩 Join our Premium Newsletter 15% off! 📩 December 21 to January 2 15% Off Technical Analysis Charts Video Series Tools for Success that I Love and find Helpful / Affiliates: Rule Classroom (Free) Rule Classroom Plus (2 Free Months) TradingView (Free) Lobo's Weekly Recap (Free) Uranium Insider Justin Huhn Newsletter Chapters: 00:00 S&P 500 new highs 03:48 Gold breakout 09:21 Silver surge 18:07 Copper rally 18:53 Uranium steady 22:16 Oil pullback 24:56 Platinum breakout 28:42 Commodities index 30:16 Bitcoin weakness 32:07 Premium Substack Promo DISCLAIMER: I am not a financial advisor.
