Commodity technician turns defensive on metals, selective on energy

GDXTrader is mostly trading technical pivots across commodities, with the most actionable posture in gold, silver, platinum, palladium, natural gas, oil and copper. The distinctive read is a late-window defensive turn in precious metals while still keeping selective breakout watches in natural gas, copper and some uranium names. Disclosed positions are mostly trim-and-trail management rather than fresh initiation.

Direction this week

The author flipped more defensive on precious metals late in the window, moving from earlier constructive miner and silver setups to repeated bearish follow-through below key averages. Conviction is concentrated in technical commodity pivots: bearish gold, silver, platinum and palladium, while natural gas and copper remain selective breakout watches. Position disclosures were trim-and-trail management in LEU, URA and ASPI rather than new aggressive adds.

Grade is our human read-worthiness rating; trader score is a rolling 20-bet hit-rate/alpha composite — different things, often disagreeing. “Since then” is direction-unaware in the table; the summary line above adjusts for which way they leaned.
