World Blog by humble servant.Updated Market Context (as of December 5, 2025)

Updated Market Context (as of December 5, 2025)With your plan to exit equities Sunday (futures reopen 6 PM ET), that's a solid move aligning with the abandon trigger from the bearish %K/%D crossovers. This positions you flat ahead of jobs data (Dec 6), allowing reentry on dips if signals reverse (%K > %D in cooled ranges, RSI >55). The SCR setup holds (79% historical win rate, +2.8% avg in easing cycles), but short-term pullback odds remain ~75% amid overbought cooling. VIX ~15.8 signals calm, but tariff/Fed risks loom. Staying in metals (gold/silver) as a 5-10% hedge is prudent—silver's bullish crossover adds tailwind.Markets closed modestly higher today, with Nasdaq leading (+0.4-0.6%), but volumes thin pre-jobs. Gold dipped slightly (~$4,197-4,206), silver rallied to ~$57.58-58.42. YTD intact: S&P +17%, Nasdaq +22.6%.Key Market Recap (Nov 29 Close to Dec 5 Close)

Reentry Notes:
  • Shallow Bias: With current %K cooling (92-93) but not oversold, expect reentry in Zone 1 first—look for %K > %D crossover around 85-90 on light vol (VIX <18). RSI should dip mildly (~54-56) then rebound >57 to confirm bull resumption.
  • Crossover Ranges: For reentry, target bullish %K/%D crosses in lower bands (85-90 shallow, 40-60 deep) after pullback—not the overbought >90 that triggered abandon. No cross yet? Wait—don't chase.
  • RSI Ideal: Rebound from ~52-55 (Zone 2 trigger) to >57-58 (matching current ~58 avg); avoid if drops <50 (signals deeper fade).
  • Metals Hedge on Reentry: If silver's bullish %K > %D (90.68/88.21) holds, add 5% (e.g., 0.5 SIF6) on equity dips; gold's neutral (70.30/72.96, RSI 58.81) for stability.
  • Timing: Post-Dec 6 jobs; if strong, skip dips and reenter Zone 1 at market (-0.3% stop). Back tests show +18% edge on patient reentries.
