Weekend Report for Monday, March 24, 2025

Bottom Line:

Critical levels in the US stock indices are very clear. The near term direction is not.

Monday will be interesting because the indices are no longer tethered to option pinning for a while.

__________________________________________________________________________

  US Dollar

Continue to favor shorts.

US 10-yr Notes

Notes have formed a Balance Area. Favor the direction of the break.

Gold

Gold continues to make higher highs and lows. Longs MUST be favored.

Crude

Crude has formed a minor Balance Area in a CRITICAL intermediate term KRA. Favor the direction of the break.

Bitcoin

Bitcoin is just above a critical intermediate term KRA. It needs to break the lower high-lower low pattern it has been in to restore a bullish case.
