Sunday morning coffee after the necessary start of the day with animals is usually the time where I scroll through the weekly/daily charts and last weeks setups assessment.
Looking through the whole #uranium sector, its obvious that asymmetric reward vs risk is EMERGING, but not yet wide spread. Any kind of liquidity flush from here will cause a future supply restriction as large entities will use that liquidity to load up the positions.
We can only mark a bottom in hindsight. It can already be in, -10% from here or -50% from here.
My tactic is to probe it with short term long trades, diversify in non-correlating equities and if I see a possible trigger event, hedge.
Broad market is still in shape to make a double top or a blow off top, no doubt about it, but will it, we don't have to guess it. Such a tailwind would definitely help #uranium aswell.
What Im somewhat skeptical is the longevity of that move...
So where would I personally turn bullish, no matter the context (exl. nuclear accident).
My dynamic bottom targets for $URNM are currently hovering around that Aug 2021 low, 25ish. Below that has high prob to be the lowest decile.
Looking at $URA vs #SPX500 there could be some underperformance ahead to make an arc confirmation.
SPX can easily 0.95x and ratio suggest 0.9x for URA -> arc would be confirmed with -15% (URA) move from here.
That in the other hand would correspond with Aug 2021 lows of URA.
For 99.9% of retail lower prices do not have any value, they are fully invested and the low %pf amounts of DCA deposits wont make a big difference. Whales are eager for sales and if the market gives them the tools, only a little push is needed for lower prices.

-> Broad market is in a downtrend and the expectation is that rallies will be sold
-> #Uranium sector equities are showing momentary relative weakness
-> Spot price is showing relative strength
-> Long term trend in U leaders is mostly fully intact
Best way for an investor who has no means of timing the market, is to scale back in gently. It is to remember though that the possible downside is still quite large if the sector stays correlated to broad market.
The indicator measures relative strength in two optional ways.
Ratio: Base symbol is divided by the comparative symbol.
Return for n period: Returns of base symbol and comparative symbols are compared within the time period user has defined.
Behind the options panel, it is possible to change the timeframe of the indicator, comparative symbol, and the desired method of Relative Strength comparison.
If the Return for n period is selected, the length of the period can be selected on next step.
About 5 years ago, I bought a log bandsaw mill. I had got tired of the bad quality of local sawmills, and wasnt really into buying my building material.
Since then, I have processed quite a many logs into a construction sawn timber.
Looking at todays prices, my investment...
...has returned about 1x each year. Sure, there is a cost for the wood, I could sell it, but most of the wood I have sawn, are injured by snow or storms. Even if I subtract the losed selling price, Im looking at 5x with todays prices.
Best thing is, the quality is top notch. I get exactly what I want, when I want, and I can have a small inventory of logs just in case I need something.
All of my new buildings are made of my own sawn timber, my own trees, that I felled myself.
Just few weeks back the thinness of the names that made new 52w highs was troubling me. That coupled with broad market looking bad, and extensions being quite high made me to reduce my participation. It was a good call.
Just looking at $URNM, after that last, April 13th being too extended call, ETF is down over 25%.
Looking at the broad indices, the market is hovering at the limit of decline. Losing the recent lows with distributive volume and it needs a hell of a risk-on catalyst to turn this boat.

In crash, almost everything is positively correlated and that is true also when market anticipates one.
Commodities, especially equities, might need the crash to diverge from the broad market. Market needs to see commodity sector as a risk off asset for the separation.

Distinction between a crash and a bear market is time. Crash happens in a bull market and recovers quite fast.
Bear market is a crash that takes long to recover, and in some cases it never does.
