The Gold

What's Working

  • Gold - Safe haven thesis intact. +20.7% 3M, pullback from highs is healthy. Strongest asset class on intermediate timeframe
  • Oil - Steady grind higher (+11.9% 30D). Supply tightness overriding demand fears
  • REITs - Rare bright spot. VNQ +1.2% 7D as money seeks yield/defense
  • EM - EEM +2.2% 30D, +8.5% 3M. Non-US equities still attracting flows

What's Not Working

  • Nasdaq/Tech - QQQM in freefall (-4.2% 30D, RSI 35). AI rotation + rate fears compounding
  • Semiconductors - SMH -7.0% 7D, worst performer. Leading indicator of tech weakness
  • Silver - Still unwinding parabolic move. -19.3% 7D, no sign of bottom
  • Small caps - IWM rotation trade stalling. RSI 35 matching Nasdaq weakness

Key Thesis: Perfect Storm

Three forces converging to pressure risk assets:

  1. Japan crisis - Yen carry trade unwind pressuring global risk
  2. AI rotation - Market questioning AI capex returns, semis leading down
  3. Rate fears - Higher-for-longer narrative back, growth multiples compressing

Key Levels to Watch

  • VOO $610 - Major support, ~2% below current. Break here = correction territory
  • QQQM $240 - Psychological support, 2.4% below. Bears target
  • SMH $370 - Must hold or semiconductor thesis in trouble
  • GLD $430 - Pullback support. Buyers should show up here
  • VIXY RSI 70 - Panic threshold. Historically marks short-term equity bottoms
