$FAN is testing a major breakout zone near (2021 highs).
After years of consolidation, relative strength is improving, momentum is accelerating, and the rounded base suggests long-term accumulation.
Clean setup. Clear level. Strong theme.
Tech led the bull run. Now it may be topping.
$XLK has formed a rounded top from its $153 ATH — the pattern that develops slowly and strikes without warning.
$1.88B out the door in 3 months. RS turning red. Volume wall at $138–$143.

The 2026 Global Investment Returns Yearbook is out!
• US Dominance - The US market now dominates, accounting for around 62% of total world equity market value today.
• Industry Mix - Of the US firms listed in 1900, ~80% of their value was in industries that are small or extinct today. Meanwhile, 70% of today’s companies in the US come from industries that were small or non-existent in 1900.
• Inflation - Although the US had the third-lowest rate of inflation in the DMS 35 markets, averaging 2.9% per year since 1900, this still means that USD 1 in 1900 had the same purchasing power as USD 38 today.
• Gold - Of the 28 years in which inflation exceeded 3%, gold returns were negative in 13 of them. Since 1900, annualized real gold returns were 1.3% but in the 54 years post Bretton Woods, it's 4.7% (US).
• Geopolitical Risk - Using a simple regression of future world equity returns against a geopolitical threat index, the authors found no relationship (both 1 month and 1 year ahead).
• Diversification Still Works - Since 1900, equities and bonds have on several occasions lost more than 70% in real terms. yet a 60:40 equity:bond blend has never declined more than 50%.

Just saw this, but we lost a true legend last month.
John Murphy started @StockCharts and he is one of the main reasons I do what I do.
I read all of his books more than 20 years ago and it shaped how I view the world. His research notes were second to none and taught generations of investors how to read the tea leaves.
I mention all the time (I did it just last week) in interviews that I am a disciple of John Murphy and use intermarket analysis to make many investment decisions.
John, thank you for everything you've done to make our industry better.
$RDVI just pushed above $26, establishing a new all-time high and extending its ~28% rally off the April lows. A high-yield dividend powerhouse shining as the Fed shifts toward cuts. Who’s stacking?
Palladium: Trend reversal after a 3-year bear market?
#Palladium just printed its first major higher-high since the 2021 collapse.
This signals a potential structural shift.
Short-term outlook: positive (+40–52% YTD).
But long-term risk remains due to the EV transition.
Silver a long-term structural breakout.
$SLV is outperforming even within the metals group.
Seasonality shows 2025 is one of the strongest years since 2010.
A base this wide generally precedes long-lasting, accelerated uptrends.
The breakout above $51 validates this scenario
The rally is being driven by:
• flight-to-quality flows
• structural inflation narrative
• strong industrial and tech demand
• USD weakness
This aligns with the technical breakouts we’ve seen in gold, silver, and aluminum.
2025 is shaping up to be a historic year for metals.
Today’s Chart Advisor report for Investopedia highlights three major signals shaping the global market.

Annual performance shows extreme contrasts across asset classes.
Metals are the clear winners:
Silver +74.7%
Gold +50.6%
Platinum +65.7%
Palladium +46.3%
Copper +21.5%
The metals complex is having its best collective year in more than a decade.
Alcoa ( $AA ) Strengthens in Sync with Aluminum’s Breakout
Aluminum futures have already confirmed a major breakout — and Alcoa (AA) is now pushing toward the $44–47 resistance that has capped the stock since 2023. AA is up +20% in two weeks, hinting at a possible catch-up move.
What’s Next for $BTC?
After a +4/5 month rally and a ~40% pullback, BTC is now at a key decision zone.
• Above ~$100–110k → momentum could resume toward new highs.
• Below ~$80-82k → risk of a deeper move toward $74k.

Aluminum hits 3-year highs! LME futures ~$2,900/t as China caps output + green demand (EVs, renewables, construction) surges.
2025 looking at structural supply deficit, but watch macro risks—construction & autos hate slowdowns.
Bullish base case, volatile ride ahead. #Aluminum
📈 Allfunds Group ( $ALLFG ) breaks out sharply after Deutsche Börse submits a €4.7B offer for the fund-platform operator.
The stock had been consolidating for 2 years in a 4.50–7.00 € range.
A textbook case of corporate catalyst + technical breakout.
