S&P 500 Breaking Out Again: What This Means for Your Portfolio

Stock 3 Mins Read

The S&P 500 ($SPX) just logged its fifth straight trading box breakout, which means that, of the five trading ranges the index has experienced since the April lows, all have been resolved to the upside.

How much longer can this last? That’s been the biggest question since the massive April 9 rally. Instead of assuming the market is due to roll over, it’s been more productive to track price action and watch for potential changes along the way. So far, drawdowns have been minimal, and breakouts keep occurring. Nothing in the price action hints at a lasting change — yet.

While some are calling this rally “historic,” we have a recent precedent. Recall that from late 2023 through early 2024, the index had a strong start and gave way to a consistent, steady trend.

From late October 2023 through March 2024, the S&P 500 logged seven consecutive trading box breakouts. That streak finally paused with a pullback from late March to early April, which, as we now know, was only a temporary hiccup. Once the bid returned, the S&P 500 went right back to carving new boxes and climbing higher.

New 52-Week Highs Finally Picking Up

If there’s been one gripe about this rally, it’s that the number of new highs within the index has lagged. As we’ve discussed before, among all the internal breadth indicators available, new highs almost always lag — that’s normal. What we really want to see is whether the number of new highs begins to exceed prior peaks as the market continues to rise, which it has, as shown by the blue line in the chart below.

As of Wednesday’s close, 100 S&P 500 stocks were either at new 52-week highs or within 3% of them. That’s a strong base. We expect this number to continue rising as the market climbs, especially if positive earnings reactions persist across sectors.

Even when we get that first day with 100+ S&P 500 stocks making new 52-week highs, though, it might not be the best time to initiate new longs.

The above chart shows that much needs to align for that many stocks to peak in unison, which has historically led to at least a short-term consolidation, if not deeper pullbacks — as highlighted in yellow. Every time is different, of course, but this is something to keep an eye on in the coming weeks.

Trend Check: GoNoGo Still “Go”

The GoNoGo Trend remains in bullish mode, with the recent countertrend signals having yet to trigger a greater pullback.

Active Bullish Patterns

We still have two live bullish upside targets of 6,555 and 6,745, which could be with us for a while going forward. For the S&P 500 to get there, it will need to form new, smaller versions of the trading boxes.

Failed Bearish Patterns

In the chart below, you can view a rising wedge pattern on the recent price action, the third since April. The prior two wedges broke down briefly and did not lead to a major downturn. The largest pullbacks in each case occurred after the S&P 500 dipped below the lower trendline of the pattern.

The deepest drawdown so far is 3.5%, which is not exactly a game-changer. Without downside follow-through, a classic bearish pattern simply can’t be formed, let alone be broken down from.

We’ll continue to monitor these formations as they develop because, at some point, that will change.

Is META Breaking Out or Breaking Down?

Stock 4 Mins Read

The chart of Meta Platforms, Inc. (META) has completed a roundtrip from the February high around $740 to the April low at $480 and all the way back again.  Over the last couple weeks, META has now pulled back from its retest of all-time highs, leaving investors to wonder what may come next.

Is this the beginning of a new downtrend phase for META?  Or just a brief pullback before a new uptrend phase propels META to new all-time highs?

Today we’ll look at two potential scenarios, including the double top pattern and the cup and handle pattern, and share which technical indicators and approaches could help us determine which path plays out into August.

The double top scenario basically means that the late July retest of the previous all-time high was the end of the recent uptrend phase.  The double top pattern is literally when a major resistance level is set and then retested.  The implication is that a lack of willing buyers means the uptrend is exhausted, and there is nowhere to go but down.

While the 21-day exponential moving average is currently in play for META, I would say that a break below the 50-day moving average could confirm this as the correct scenario.  If that smoothing mechanism does not hold, then the price action would imply less of a pullback and more like the beginning of a real distribution phase.

What is META pulls back but then resumes an uptrend phase, leading META to another new all-time high?  That would result in a confirmed cup and handle pattern, created by a large rounded bottoming pattern followed by a brief pullback.  The key to this pattern is the “rim” of the cup, which sits right at $740 for META.

Given the pullback META has demonstrated so far in July, I would say that a break above the $740 level would basically confirm a bullish cup and handle pattern.  That would suggest much more upside potential for META, as the stock would literally go into previously uncharted territory.

So how can we determine which scenario is more likely to play out?  This is where we need to incorporate more technical indicators into the discussion, as a way to further validate and confirm our investment thesis.

Just to review, I think a break above $740 would confirm a bullish cup and handle pattern.  I would also say that a break below the $680 level, which would represent a move below the 50-day moving average as well as the June swing lows, would basically confirm a bearish double top pattern.

We can also use the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to help determine whether META remains in a bullish trend phase.  During bull phases, the RSI rarely gets below 40, because buyers usually step in to “buy the dips” and keep the momentum fairly constructive.  So if the price would break down, and the RSI would not hold that crucial 40 level, that could mean a bearish outlook is warranted.

Finally, we can use volume-based indicators to assess whether moves in the price are supported by stronger volume readings.  Here I’ve included the Accumulation/Distribution Line, which tracks the trend in daily volume readings over time.  We can see that the high in July resulted in a divergence, as the A/D line was trending lower.  If the A/D line would break below its June and July lows, marked by a dashed red line, that would represent a bearish volume reading for META.

Technical analysis is less about predicting the future, and more about determining the most probable scenarios based on our analysis of trend, momentum, and volume.  I hope this discussion shows how the outlook for META can be easily determined and tracked using the best practices of technical analysis!

RR#6,

Dave

Finlay Mineral’s ATTY 2025 Exploration Program Delivers Expanded and Multiple New Targets

Investing 9 Mins Read

finlay minerals ltd. (TSXV: FYL,OTC:FYMNF) (OTCQB: FYMNF) (‘Finlay’ or the ‘Company’) announces that the 2025 ATTY exploration program expanded known targets and identified further new copper (‘Cu’) and gold (‘Au’) porphyry targets. The ATTY Project, is strategically centered within a major porphyry corridor in the Toodoggone district and is under an Earn-In Agreement with Freeport-McMoRan Mineral Properties Canada Inc. (‘Freeport ‘) (1). Refer to Figure 1 ATTY Porphyry Corridor within the Toodoggone District.

Highlights from the 2025 ATTY Exploration Program include:

  • Expanding the Wrich Cu-Au porphyry target to a 1,200 meter x 1,200 meter area.
  • Discovering the new Wrich Hill Au target.
  • Discovering the new Pyramid West and Pyramid East Cu-Au porphyry targets.
  • Further extending the Valley chargeability target by 500 meters (‘m’) to the southeast.
  • Adding geological and geophysical definition to the porphyry corridor targets within the ATTY Property.

Ilona B. Lindsay, Finlay’s President & CEO states:

‘We are very pleased with the results of our 2025 ATTY program and are moving forward with planning for 2026. The expansion of our known targets, along with the discovery of multiple new targets has reinforced ATTY’s significant position between Freeport-AMARC’s Joy Property with its AuRORA discovery and Centerra Gold’s expanding Kemess Project. Through a systematic exploration approach, supported by Freeport’s funding, Finlay is effectively demonstrating the substantial value of its property portfolio.’

Refer to Figure 2 – ATTY’s Expanded and New Targets.

Refer to Figure 3 – ATTY’s Targets underlain by Airborne Magnetics.

Detailed Overview of 2025 Exploration Program Targets

Northwestern Porphyry Trend and Target Areas –

The 2025 exploration program expanded on previous work outlining an 8.5-kilometer northwestern porphyry trend, which includes the Wrich, Pyramid, and KEM/Attycelley targets. Similar mineralized trends are found at nearby AuRORA, PIL South, and Kemess projects. Soil sampling, geological mapping, geophysics, and historical data have established targets at the ATTY, all of which show strong exploration potential (Figure 1).

Wrich Cu-Au Porphyry Target –

The Wrich Cu-Au porphyry target has strong soil anomalies in copper, gold, silver, molybdenum, selenium & tellurium, a high IP chargeability, and is closely linked to Takla Group volcanic rocks which are favourable for Cu-Au porphyries like the Kemess deposits. 2022 drilling at SWT confirmed anomalous gold and copper zones near a porphyry system; notably, hole JP22028 intersected 78 meters at 0.09% CuEq (0.02% Cu, 0.11 g/t Au, 0.04 g/t Ag). (2) (Figures 2 and 3).

Wrich Hill Target –

The Wrich Hill target is a newly identified geochemical anomaly (1,200 m x 600 m) with elevated gold, bismuth, lead, tellurium, and zinc in soil samples. Linked to a magnetic low, it may indicate a low and high sulphidation environment noted to be related to porphyry targets. North of Wrich Hill, drilling on the JOY Property in 2022 found Au-Ag-Cu mineralization, including 108 meters at 0.03% Cu, 0.23 g/t Au, and 6.4 g/t Ag in hole JP22044(2), within advanced argillic alteration zones.

Pyramid Cu-Au Porphyry Target –

The Pyramid copper-gold porphyry target consists of two areas:

  • Pyramid West: Contains a 200 m x 200 m copper-gold-molybdenum-tellurium soil anomaly open to the north, with a single IP line showing a 500 m chargeability high, cut off by a southern fault (Figure 2). The anomaly extends east with a weaker response. The area is mainly underlain by Toodoggone Hazelton formations, similar to AuRORA and Kemess East.
  • Pyramid East: Features a continuous IP chargeability high potentially linked to the Wrich target, trending southeast toward an 800 m x 850 m copper-gold geochemical anomaly and a circular magnetic feature. This anomaly lies just south of the Awesome epithermal gold showing, in propylitic-altered Takla Volcanic rocks.

Valley Target –

The 2025 program expanded an already significant IP chargeability anomaly by 500 meters to the southeast, bringing it to 1.5 km width and 1.8 km length. Earlier drilling conducted in 2019 (3) revealed anomalous copper in propylitic and phyllic-altered Takla Group rocks, suggesting potential proximity to a porphyry system.

KEM and Attycelley Targets –

Geological mapping at the KEM copper-gold porphyry target has improved its prospects for discovery. Recent quartz vein samples near the KEM mineral yielded up to 0.685% copper, 0.135 g/t gold, and 99.2 g/t silver. The KEM area spans 1,000 m x 2,200 m with high chargeability, forming part of a larger 3,000 m x 3,000 m copper-gold-silver geochemical anomaly that also includes the Attycelley target. Both sites exhibit IP and geological traits similar to the Kemess North Trend, which hosts significant deposits. Previous drilling at KEM was limited by inadequate depth and post-mineral intrusions.

The 2025 Exploration Program completed on the ATTY consisted of:

  • 543 line-km of airborne magnetics
  • 152 rock samples collected
  • 647 soil and talus samples collected
  • 14 line-km of IP

Both the ATTY and PIL exploration programs are fully funded through Earn-In Agreements with Freeport. Under these agreements, Freeport can earn up to an 80% interest in each property by funding a total of $35 million in exploration expenditures and making cash payments of $4.1 million over a six-year period, Finlay will serve as the operator for both projects and will earn an operator’s fee.

Kobo Resources Advances Kossou Toward Resource Definition While Expanding Gold Mineralisation Beyond Known Structures

Investing 13 Mins Read

  • Drilling confirms continued gold mineralisation within established Jagger and Road Cut Zone structures, including at depth with intersections of 8.0 m at 3.02 g/t Au at the Jagger Zone (KDD0129) and along the Contact Zone Fault with 6.0 m at 2.59 g/t Au at the Road Cut Zone (KDD0135)
  • New gold-bearing structures were identified both in the footwall of the main Jagger shear toward the Contact Zone Fault (Structure 7, KDD0134) and along strike at Jagger South (KDD0127), expanding mineralisation beyond previously defined zones
  • Results continue to reinforce the scale of the Kossou’s gold targets as drilling advances toward resource definition while generating additional high-priority targets

Kobo Resources Inc. (‘ Kobo’ or the ‘ Company ‘) ( TSX.V: KRI ) is pleased to report results from 15 diamond drill holes completed as part of its ongoing drill program at the 100%-owned Kossou Gold Project (‘ Kossou ‘) in Côte d’Ivoire. The latest results confirm continued gold mineralisation within known structures at the Jagger and Road Cut Zones while also identifying new gold-bearing structures that expand the mineralised footprint of the project.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260114191786/en/

Figure 1: Jagger Zone Drill Hole Locations and Simplified Geology

Diamond Drill Results Highlights:

Jagger Zone:

  • KDD0129
    • 3.0 metres ( ‘ m’) at 3.32 g/t Au from 62 .0 m
    • 5.0 m at 1.34 g/t Au from 275.0 m
    • 8.0 m at 3.02 g/t Au from 285.0 m
    • 5.0 m at 1.10 g/t Au from 364.0m
  • KDD0124
    • 2.0 m at 9.97 g/t Au from 297.0 m
  • KDD0133
    • 2.0 m at 7.79 g/t Au from 314.0 m
  • KDD0126
    • 15.0 m at 0.90 g/t Au from 189.0 m, incl. 10.0 m at 1.16 g/t Au
  • KDD0134
    • 6.0 m at 1.09 g/t Au from 11.0 m, incl. 3.0 m at 1.91 g/t Au

Road Cut Zone :

  • KDD0131
    • 6.0 m at 2.55 g/t Au from 165.0 m, incl. 2.0 m at 5.27 g/t Au
  • KDD0135
    • 7.0 m at 1.11 g/t Au from 23.0 m
    • 12.0 m at 0.62 g/t Au from 36.0 m, incl. 6.0 m at 1.00 gt Au
    • 6.0 m at 2.59 g/t Au from 202.0 m

Edward Gosselin, CEO and Director of Kobo commented: ‘These results continue to confirm the strength and continuity of gold mineralisation within the established Jagger and Road Cut Zone structures, including meaningful intersections at depth and along the Contact Zone Fault. Importantly, this phase of drilling has also identified new gold-bearing structures both in the footwall of the main Jagger shear and along strike to the south, demonstrating that mineralisation at Kossou goes beyond previously defined zones. Total drilling reported to date at Kossou now exceeds 34,800 m across 192 drill holes, including diamond and RC drilling. Together, these results expand our target inventory and further support the scale and growth potential of the Kossou system as we continue advancing toward the resource definition stage.’

Jagger Zone: Continued Drilling Confirms Mineralisation at Depth and Along Strike

Drilling at the Jagger Zone continued with 11 additional holes completed across approximately 700 m of strike , testing continuity within the main Jagger structural corridor and mineralisation at depth.

Deeper drilling continues to confirm gold mineralisation well below previously tested levels. On section JZ650 , KDD0133 intersected 2.0 m at 7.79 g/t Au approximately 200 m below surface , while KDD0136 on Section JZ700 returned 6.0 m at 1.10 g/t Au at a depth of approximately 210 m , confirming continuity of mineralised structures at depth.

Along strike, KDD0129 on Section JZ550 returned multiple intersections, including 8.0 m at 3.02 g/t Au from 285.0 m , extending mineralisation within the core of the Jagger Shear Zone. Additional intersections, including 5.0 m at 1.10 g/t Au from 364.0 m , confirm that Structure 6 extends to depths exceeding 250 m below surface . Further confirmation of depth continuity was provided by KDD0126 on Section JZ500 , which intersected 15.0 m at 0.90 g/t Au from 189.0 m , including 10.0 m at 1.16 g/t Au . All mineralised zones remain open to depth within the Jagger Shear system.

Drill hole KDD0134 ( section JZ650) tested a gold in soil geochemical target on the east of the main drill area, footwall to the Jagger Shear structure and successfully intersected 6 .0 m at 1.09 g/t Au from 11.0 m, including 3.0 m at 1.91 g/t Au, tentatively named ‘Structure 7’ (see Figure 1). This suggests additional gold bearing shear zones are present towards the Contact Zone Fault (‘CZ Fault’). Based on successful drilling of this contact in the Road Cut Zone, this hole provides confirmation of gold mineralisation in a similar stratigraphic location and will require additional drilling to advance this concept.

Road Cut Zone: Drilling Confirms Depth Extension and Contact Zone Fault Mineralisation

Drilling at the Road Cut Zone focused on two priority targets: the main shear previously intersected on section RCZ700 and gold mineralisation associated with the Contact Zone Fault and adjacent shear structures on section RCZ300.

Two drill holes are reported from this phase. In the southern portion of the zone, KDD0131 (section RCZ650), intersected 6.0 m at 2.55 g/t Au from 165.0 m , extending mineralisation to depth.

Further north, KDD0135 ( section RCZ300 ) was drilled to test the northern extension of mineralisation along the Contact Zone Fault . In addition to near-surface intersections, the hole intersected 6.0 m at 2.59 g/t Au from 202.0 m , including 3.0 m at 4.48 g/t Au , confirming strong gold mineralisation associated with the fault. This intersection extends known mineralisation by approximately 150 m to the north and supports the Contact Zone Fault as a significant mineralised control at Road Cut , with additional drilling planned to define its extent (see Figures 4 and 5).

Jagger South Zone: Drilling Confirms Along-Strike Continuity of the Jagger Shear System

Two drill holes, KDD0127 and KDD0128 , were completed to test gold-in-soil anomalies and Trench KTR110 , located approximately 1 km south of the main Jagger Zone . Trench KTR110 previously returned 14.0 m at 0.75 g/t Au .

Drill hole KDD0127 intersected 5.0 m at 0.35 g/t Au from 25.0 m and 3.0 m at 2.25 g/t Au from 48.0 m . The mineralisation is associated with quartz feldspar porphyry intrusions , similar to those observed in the central Jagger Zone , indicating regional continuity to the Jagger Shear system in southern parts. Additional work is planned to further evaluate this target area.

Gold Price Surge Hits $3,385 Amid Trade Tensions

Politics 2 Mins Read

Gold Price Surge Hits $3,385 Amid Trade Tensions

The gold price surge continued on April 21, 2025, as gold hit a record high of $3,385 per ounce. This milestone came amid a weakening U.S. dollar and renewed global trade tensions. Investors are increasingly turning to gold as a safe-haven asset, signaling market uncertainty and shifting investment strategies.

Gold Price Increase Driven by Dollar Weakness

The U.S. dollar index fell sharply, hitting its lowest level since January 2024. A weaker dollar typically boosts gold prices, as it makes the metal more attractive to international buyers. This contributed significantly to the ongoing gold price surge seen in recent weeks.

In addition, economic data indicating slower growth in key global markets has prompted investors to reduce their exposure to riskier assets. Gold’s long-standing reputation as a hedge against economic uncertainty has once again proven true.

Trade Tensions Fuel Demand for Safe-Haven Assets

Ongoing trade friction between major economies—particularly the U.S. and China—has triggered market anxiety. Announcements related to new tariffs and supply chain risks are further motivating the shift from equities to gold. This environment is ideal for a gold price surge to gain momentum.

Analysts Predict Continued Gold Price Growth

Market analysts suggest that the upward trend is far from over. If inflation persists and interest rates remain steady or fall, the gold price could climb even higher. Some predict that the next psychological barrier of $3,500 per ounce may soon be tested.

As the global economic landscape continues to evolve, gold is expected to remain a central pillar in investor portfolios. Whether as a hedge against inflation or a response to geopolitical unrest, the gold price surge is being closely monitored by financial experts.

Oil Prices Rebound After Trump’s Criticism of Powell

Oil Prices Rebound After Trump’s Criticism of Fed Chair Powell

On April 22, 2025, oil prices rebound experienced a modest rebound following a significant drop the previous day. The initial decline was triggered by President Donald Trump’s renewed criticism of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, which unsettled financial markets and raised concerns about the central bank’s independence.

Market Reaction to Political Commentary

President Trump’s comments on Monday intensified investor fears regarding the Federal Reserve’s autonomy in setting monetary policy. The criticism led to a broad sell-off in equities and commodities, with oil prices bearing the brunt of the market’s anxiety.

Short-Covering Leads to Price Recovery

Despite the initial plunge, oil prices rebound edged higher on Tuesday as investors engaged in short-covering. Brent crude futures rose 0.5% to $66.62 per barrel, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude for May delivery increased by 1% to $63.73 per barrel. The more actively traded WTI June contract also gained 0.7% to $62.84 per barrel.

Ongoing Economic Concerns

Market participants remain cautious amid ongoing fears of a potential recession linked to U.S. tariff policies and concerns over Federal Reserve independence. These factors have increased worries about the U.S. economy and crude demand. Additionally, progress in U.S.-Iran nuclear deal talks has eased supply concerns, potentially impacting oil prices further.

As the situation evolves, investors will closely monitor geopolitical developments and central bank communications to assess the potential long-term impacts on the energy markets.

Trump’s Fed Criticism Sparks Investor Concerns

Trump’s Fed Criticism Sparks Investor Concerns

The recent spotlight on Trump’s Fed Criticism has sparked unease among investors and financial analysts alike. President Donald Trump’s repeated public attacks on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell have amplified concerns over the central bank’s independence. As a result, markets have reacted with volatility, and investor sentiment has taken a noticeable hit.

Market Reactions to Political Pressure

Wall Street’s response to Trump’s Fed Criticism was swift. Major stock indices, including the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, posted losses amid uncertainty over future monetary policy decisions. Investors fear that political attempts to sway the Federal Reserve’s agenda may undermine its objectivity. If monetary policy is dictated by short-term political goals rather than long-term economic data, the implications could be severe for inflation, interest rates, and overall economic health.

Why Federal Reserve Independence Matters

One of the cornerstones of a stable economy is a politically neutral central bank. Trump’s Fed Criticism has called that neutrality into question. The Federal Reserve must be able to act without external pressure to maintain credibility in the eyes of global markets. Political interference could compromise its ability to control inflation or manage unemployment rates effectively.

Investor Sentiment and Future Outlook

Investor confidence remains fragile. Many market participants have shifted assets into safer investments such as gold and U.S. treasuries, seeking shelter from potential turmoil. Economic advisors stress the importance of maintaining clear, data-driven policy guidance, especially as the U.S. navigates ongoing trade issues and inflation concerns.

In the coming weeks, the Federal Reserve’s actions will be closely watched. Should Trump’s Fed Criticism intensify, it could further erode market stability and investor trust in U.S. monetary policy.

Buy Bitcoin Under $100K Before The Next Bull Run

Buy Bitcoin Under $100K Before The Next Bull Run

The opportunity to buy Bitcoin under $100K may not last much longer. On April 21, 2025, Bitcoin (BTC) traded just below the $100,000 mark, a price level many analysts believe could be the last stop before a massive new rally begins. With institutional adoption rising and macroeconomic pressures easing, the case for long-term BTC growth is strengthening.

Why Now Might Be the Time to Buy Bitcoin Under $100K

Market experts point to several factors fueling the bullish sentiment. Firstly, Bitcoin’s halving event earlier this year significantly reduced block rewards, cutting daily supply by half. Historically, halving events have preceded major bull runs. Secondly, growing interest from ETFs and institutional players is creating steady buying pressure. Lastly, declining inflation and improved global liquidity conditions are encouraging investment in risk assets like Bitcoin.

According to Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan, “It’s not too late to buy Bitcoin under $100K. This could be one of the last best opportunities before we see a surge well beyond six figures.”

Long-Term Outlook for BTC Investors

Looking ahead, many analysts predict that Bitcoin could exceed $150,000 by the end of the year. While this isn’t guaranteed, trends in institutional adoption, limited supply, and rising use cases for Bitcoin suggest that prices may continue climbing.

Although short-term volatility persists, long-term investors remain focused on fundamentals. If history repeats itself, buying Bitcoin at sub-$100K levels may prove to be a decision rewarded in the coming cycle.

Final Thoughts

If you’ve been on the sidelines, now could be your moment to enter the market. The chance to buy Bitcoin under $100K might not last much longer. As always, do your research and consider your financial goals before investing.
