Signal Moment

Hormuz blockade. Oil plus 9 percent. Waller talking tough. Gold bouncing from 3983 low. Three narratives colliding. A market like this separates traders from guessers. I am neutral-leaning-long into this CPI print. 3975 is the line in the sand - if that breaks, I am flat and waiting. My journal from 2022 says it best: when geopolitics overrides macro, throw out the playbook. 18K trades taught me one thing: flexibility beats conviction when narratives collide.
