Methodology: each issue's direction is a live signal — long/short opens or holds a position, neutral means flat, and every direction change opens, flips, or closes it. Returns are direction-aware (a short gains when the price falls) and compound across positions from first observation to the latest issue. "Price move" is the stock's own raw change, shown separately. Neither represents actual portfolio performance.
Brief History (4 issues)
Down 2.96% to 88.27 on 1.53x volume — with CPI and PPI both benign, the inflation-hedge premium unwound and gold longs took profits, and miners' beta amplified the move. After a +16% month this is healthy cooling, RSI easing to 64. The key level is right underfoot: the 200-day at 87.83, just 0.5% below. Hold it and this is a constructive retest; lose it and the 20-day at 79.44 is next support. With the inflation slate cleared, the 200-day decides direction — stand aside until it resolves.
Up 7.11% in a powerful advance with RSI at 70.4 and RSI(7) at 83.6 deeply overbought after a 20.0% week; miners' operating leverage amplifies gold's move, but chasing here carries high risk.
Up 0.29% against the tape with RSI firm at 63.4 after an 11.4% week; miners' operating leverage amplifies gold's move as safe-haven demand returns, holding above the 50-day at 78.35.
Down 3.5% to $71.40 — miners amplified gold's 2% dip into 3.5%, beta doing exactly what beta does
