Payrolls came in at 165K. Expected: 65K. Wages hot, revisions up. That’s the worst-case print for gold. Gold dropped $22 in a minute… then put in a double bottom at $4,030 and bought back every dollar. When the worst news can’t break it, pay attention.

Gold just put on +$250 in four trading days, and the “gold is dead” crowd has gone very quiet. Friday it printed a 1-year low at $3,870. Wednesday it ripped 3.4%, the best day since August. This morning it’s at a 2-week high. The chart is simple. $4,111 was the shakeout. Every dip since has been bought, with higher lows. Then a $12 one-minute candle on the heaviest volume of the session. That isn’t retail. That’s shorts getting carried out. All that’s left is the $4,138 ceiling. It’s been tagged three times today. Close above it and $4,200 is a formality. Friday’s NFP decides how fast. Not which direction. The juniors haven’t noticed yet. They will.

Rick Rule on BNN this morning, asked about gold slipping under $4,000: he called it very attractive.

Iran offers to reopen Hormuz, oil drops 6%, gold rips $55 in twenty minutes. Even a hot ISM print couldn’t hold it down. Gold's just punched you in the face, buckle up.

Intel $INTC has gone from a $500B valuation to roughly $350B in a single session. $150 BILLION wiped out. When valuations are driven more by expectations than fundamentals, sentiment can reverse violently. Healthy correction or the beginning of a broader AI bubble unwind?
BREAKING: Intel, $INTC, extends losses to -30% on the day, now on track for its biggest decline on record. Not even the Dot-Com bubble or 1970s saw a decline in $INTC like this.
