SYS Daily Report – Weekend Edition
Red-Light/Green-Light Breadth System Remains Cautious as Global Tensions, Fed Policy, and AI Shake Markets
This week, equities traded in a narrow band, overshadowed by rising geopolitical tensions, mixed signals from the Federal Reserve, and deteriorating internal market breadth. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite ended modestly lower on Friday, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average eked out a slight gain. Beneath relatively steady index levels, however, market internals revealed increased vulnerability.
At the center of investor angst remains the escalating Israel-Iran conflict. President Trump announced a two-week window to decide whether to engage U.S. military forces—a delay that provided temporary relief to markets and pulled crude oil down from mid-week highs. Still, the risk of unexpected escalation or disruption to Middle Eastern energy supply kept a cloud over sentiment.
On the monetary policy front, the Federal Reserve held rates steady this week but showcased internal tension. Fed Governor Christopher Waller raised the possibility of a July rate cut, while Richmond Fed President Tom Barkin warned of the dangers of moving too quickly. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield eased to 4.375%, as bond markets balanced the prospect of easing with lingering inflation concerns.
Market breadth deteriorated, with declining stocks outperforming advancers. Triple-witching Thursday and Friday brought elevated volume, yet major indexes struggled to sustain rallies. Defensive and cyclical sectors rotated in and out of favor: energy, financials, and consumer staples saw support, while tech, materials, and small caps lagged.
In Canada, the TSX Composite closed near record highs but ended flat as weak May retail sales and a 0.5% drop in technology weighed on the benchmark. Strength in financials and energy provided offset, though investor caution remains high.
The Red-Light/Green-Light Breadth System
Breadth indicators continue to flash caution. Despite the resilience of major indexes, the undercurrent of distribution days — especially after Friday’s higher volume selloff — suggests waning participation. Many growth names are extended or stalling at resistance, while defensive sectors like consumer staples and utilities have begun to attract inflows. The breadth system remains in a yellow-to-red condition, warning investors to remain selective and avoid chasing strength into overhead supply.
S&P 500 – Daily Chart
Close: 5,967.84 | Friday change: −0.22% | Weekly change: −0.2%
Analysis: The S&P closed just below the 6,000 mark, holding above its 21-day moving average. The index is wedged in a tight consolidation range. A break above resistance with volume would be a bullish trigger; a drop back below the 21-day line risks deeper retracement.
Nasdaq – Daily Chart
Close: 19,447.41 | Friday: −0.51% | Weekly: +0.2%
Analysis: Despite holding above its 21-day moving average, the Nasdaq struggled. Pressure from semiconductor stocks—especially Nvidia and TSMC—weighed on sentiment amid concerns about chip export restrictions. The strength remains narrow, with gains concentrated among select AI and software-linked ETFs.
Dow Jones Industrial Average – Daily Chart
Close: 42,206.82 | Friday: +0.08% | Weekly: +0.1%
Analysis: The Dow remains under its 200-day moving average. Strength was driven by Apple and Walmart, while broader cyclical and industrial constituents showed light participation. Technically, the index remains range-bound unless it reclaims the 200-day mark.
Russell 2000 (IWM) – Daily Chart
Close: $209.21 | Friday: −0.21% | Weekly: −0.43%
Analysis: The Russell slipped slightly on Friday. Despite the pullback, IWM continues to hold above its 21-day and 50-day moving averages, suggesting some underlying support. However, it remains capped beneath its 200-day moving average, which continues to act as a key resistance level. Small-cap sentiment remains fragile, and a close above the 200-day would be needed to confirm a bullish shift in leadership.
10-Year US Treasury Yield
Close: 4.375%
Analysis: The 10-year yield dropped as investors fled to Treasuries amid geopolitical and central bank uncertainty. Forward guidance from the Fed will be essential in shaping the yield curve next week.
US Dollar – Daily Chart
Dollar Index: +0.5% this week
Analysis: The U.S. dollar gained some ground as global uncertainty fueled safe-haven demand and Fed rhetoric remained mixed. Movement in currency markets will hinge on the tone of Powell’s testimony and the PCE data.
Crude Oil – Weekly Chart
WTI: $74.04 (−1.11% Fri; +1.45% week)
Brent: $77.27 (+1.39% Fri; +4.10% week)
Analysis: Oil rallied early this week on Middle East escalation fears, then pulled back following Trump’s delay in military decision-making. Support remains near $72 for WTI. Monitoring of geopolitical developments remains essential, as markets cling to event-driven catalysts.
TSX – Daily Chart
Close: 26,497.57 (−0.03% Fri; −0.03% week)
Analysis: The TSX remains range-bound at record levels. Soft Canadian retail sales data weighed on sentiment, but financial and energy sector strength helped offset weakness in technology. Attention now turns to domestic economic data for direction.
Copper – Monthly Chart
Weekly change: Flat
Analysis: Copper remained non-directional this week, bracketed by demand doubts from China and longer-term supply constraints. A breakout may require fresh data on industrial activity or trade policy shifts.
Gold – Weekly Chart
Close: $3,367.91 (−0.19% Fri; flattish week)
Gold remains elevated amid ongoing inflationary pressures and persistent geopolitical uncertainty, with investors still favoring the metal as a hedge. However, continued strength in the U.S. dollar has acted as a ceiling, capping gold’s upside just below the key $3,400 level. The upcoming PCE inflation data and Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s testimony will likely determine whether gold can stage a breakout or faces a reversal.
One technical factor to monitor is the weekly PPO momentum indicator, which appears poised to cross lower—a potential bearish signal. Should this cross occur, traders will want to closely watch the 50-day moving average (10-week moving average) for support. A breakdown below that level could invite further downside pressure, especially if macro sentiment begins to favor risk assets or real yields rise.
Silver – Daily Chart
Change: Slight weekly decline
Analysis: Silver mirrors gold’s behavior, trading sideways. The metal awaits direction from broader market sentiment. A move above $37.30 would be positive; a slip below $34.58 would raise technical concerns.
Uranium Theme – Global X Uranium ETF
Analysis: URA continues to build its case within a broader uptrend, although consolidating after substantial gains.
Bitcoin – Daily Chart
Close: ~$103,000 | Weekly change: −2%
Analysis: Bitcoin pulled back slightly after staging a breakout earlier this month but continues to hold above the critical $100,000 level, preserving its broader uptrend. Traders are watching closely for renewed momentum, which could emerge from upcoming macro data releases and shifts in investor sentiment.
However, caution is warranted. Price action has slipped below the 50-day moving average, and the 13, 34, and 50-day moving averages are aligning in a manner that could produce a triple cross lower. If confirmed, this would be a significant bearish technical signal that could accelerate downside pressure. It’s essential to see Bitcoin hold the lower boundary of its current consolidation pattern. A breakdown below that level would suggest a deeper correction is underway.
Ethereum – Daily Chart
Close: ~$2400 | Weekly change: −5%
Analysis: Ethereum failed to hold above its 50-day moving average, and like Bitcoin, is now showing signs of technical strain. The 13, 34, and 50-day moving averages are setting up for a potential triple cross lower, while price continues to trade below its 200-day moving average—a bearish alignment that reflects increasing vulnerability in the trend.
Currently, Ethereum is sitting at the very bottom of its established trading range. At the same time, the PPO momentum indicator is nearing the zero line. Should price fall further, the PPO could dip into negative territory, confirming a loss of positive momentum. This scenario, combined with a downward triple cross, would likely trigger increased selling pressure and suggest a break from consolidation into a more prolonged downside move.

Indexes remain technically at a standstill, dispatching with mixed breadth and rising macro tension. With threats on multiple fronts—from the Middle East to global inflation—the coming week’s Fed guidance and PCE data will likely deliver direction. Where sentiment breaks—up or down—will define whether markets pause or pivot. Until clarity emerges, a cautious, tactical approach remains essential.
