Market Update
🇺🇸 US Equities: Stocks are finding their footing again. The S&P 500 is pushing back toward its all-time highs after the recent shakeout, showing that risk appetite in traditional markets is slowly coming back.
Metals: Gold($XAU is back above $5,000 and silver ($XAG just ripped back to $82, up roughly 5% on the day. Precious metals are clearly in control again, with buyers stepping in hard as the macro bid stays alive.
Crypto: Bitcoin is still struggling to keep up. After bouncing from $59,000, price has now been rejected near $72,000 for the second time. That level is acting like real resistance, not just noise. Until BTC can reclaim it cleanly, upside momentum remains capped.
Big picture: risk assets are stabilizing, but leadership is split. Equities and metals are showing strength and confidence, while crypto continues to lag as traders wait for confirmation. The market is basically asking Bitcoin to prove it can hold recent gains before the next leg starts.
For now, patience matters. Strength is selective, and BTC needs to step up if crypto wants to rejoin the broader risk-on move.
