Another busy week of price discovery as indices tried to recover and find direction.
Time to zoom out and get perspective with the 📈Weekly Charts📉
$SPX - tapped the 10-week MA early, bounced, and closed above both the new 4-week MA and the AVWAP🟠 from its last 10-week test.
🔸Still mid-range but holding firm.
🔸Volume right in line with the 20-week average.
$DIA
🔹More of the same — steady but uninspiring.
🔹Still hugging the 4- and 10-week MAs.
🔹Volume was very heavy this week.
$IWM
🔹Led early, made a new high, but couldn’t hold it.
🔹Closed right on the 4-week MA.
🔹Volume slightly above average — leadership attempt faded into Friday.
$QQQ
🔹Closed the week at a new all-time high by 75¢.
🔹Traded higher early, reversed, then finished strong.
🔹Volume slightly heavier than average.
Quick note - yes, the 4-week MA is a new addition to the charts. 4-week = 20-days. It's the thin black line.
$ACWX
The Rest of the World repaired much of last week’s damage, moving back near recent highs on rising volume back above its 20-week average.
$FXI
Printed a spinning-top doji (indecision) between the 4- and 10-week MAs — right in the middle of last week’s selloff range.
Volume roughly 2× average.
Bonds
$AGG broke higher from consolidation.
$TLT followed — up and out, though not as far.
$HYG recovered most of last week’s losses but finished just under the 10-week MA.
$DXY / U.S. Dollar
Spent another week testing resistance at 99.25, while also visiting its 10-week MA below.
Crypto
$BTC hit its 40-week MA and Fib extension near 103K, bounced to $107K
$ETH retesting pivot-low anchored VWAP — bull flag is still there, but getting old and weak.
$SOL testing trendline support near 187.
Gold and Silver were headliners at the commodity concert.
$GLD put in its 7th week of 'gap and go' action. Yes, since the breakout near $319, this ETF has gapped up and moved higher every week so far. 😮
And it's done so on MASSIVE volume. That's power.💪
But, to say it is now very extended could be the understatement of the year.
🔹Weekly RSI > 85
🔹15% above the 10-week MA
🔹4-week MA and price parabolic
🔹DeMark 9 sell setup
All of those factors suggest some rest and pullback for the shiny metal. Doesn't have to be THE top. But this pace can't continue forever.
$SLV is in the same boat.
Potential topping/reversal candle with all the other factors mentioned on $GLD too.
And, just in case you want to see the two combined, the usual $DBP chart.
Same picture. Potential pullback for Precious Metals.
$DBB continued higher as well, but reversed a little harder.
Relative Strength
$IWF / $IWD - High-level consolidation continues
$XLY / $XLP – Inside week near 10-week MA and the lower end of last week's range.
$SPHB / $SPLV – Still choppy and widening, but holding up well.
Breadth
% of $SPX stocks above 50 and 200-day MA ticked up slightly.
Bullish Percent Indices all added to the columns of Os and are all in 'Bear Confirmed' status.
$BPSPX
$BPNDX
$BPNYA
🧭 Now What?
Last week’s selloff met decent repair this week, even with a volatility spike.
The key, that volatility also crashed quickly.
$VIX daily
Seasonally, $SPX tends to dip mid-October before the year-end rally.
The 2025 line (blue) sits right on that seasonal trough — the sharp drop in the dotted white line, the average of recent years.
Maybe we front-ran that seasonal dip.
Maybe not.

After yesterday’s sharp selloff, it’s a good time to zoom out, check the weekly structure, and see where things really stand.
Momentum cooled, volatility rose — but the bigger picture still matters.
Let’s dig into the 📈Weekly Charts📉 for some perspective.
$SPX with a big outside reversal candle taking it from new highs to down nearly to the 10-week MA -- a level we haven't been close to for about 60 days, and haven't traded below since April.
Yesterday's volume was nearly double the 20-day average, but weekly volume is in line.
RSI is lower but still firmly in the upper half at ~61, for now.
$QQQ with similar action on heavier volume, closing near the AVWAP🟠 from its earlier test of the 10-week MA - which price actually hit in after-hours trading yesterday.
Time for the 📈Weekly Charts📉 - stepping back to see the bigger picture.
Markets wrapped a choppy but constructive week. Let’s run through the indexes, bonds, commodities, crypto, and key internals to see where things stand heading into October.
