Good morning folks, and welcome to the Rude Awakening!

Recording super early this morning, lets dive into what weve seen in todays premarket

Markets Trying to Push Higher

S&P Futures are on FIRE this morning. The NASDAQ is also shooting up.

This demonstrates for us that the markets are trying to regain some of the lost ground weve seen throughout the past several weeks.

Looking at a day chart throughout 2020, we can see a lot of vacillation and confusion in our marketplace.

To be clear, we are still in a downward trending market. We have been since the highs from the beginning of September started to sell off.

But, the last three trading sessions have been green days, as weve seen a market trying to fight back.

We are now pushing up on that 50day MA. This could prove to be some level of resistance.

But, whats important right now is the market is trying to rebound.

New Inflection Point

As we see the market pushing up again, this marks a new inflection point.

Like I always say, inflection points are massively important for us as traders.

But, like we keep coming back to, the level that analysts are looking at right now is that same $3,200 level weve been talking about.

This level has proven to morph from an area of support and resistance, back and forth throughout the past year.

So, for now, we just have to wait and see if it will prove to become a significant level for the near-term in todays market.

One of the sectors thats been very interesting is commodities.

In particular, gold.

Gold in 2020

Looking at the gold ETF GLD, in the past couple months, we are seeing a selloff.

There was a big gap down after new highs above $190 back in August. Now, GLD is trading around $175.

This is the sector well focus on today. So, the question is, where is gold going next?

There are some very cool things at play with this commoditys stock

And we can figure out how to profit on it regardless of what the overall market is doing.

Although the overall market is showing clear bearish signs, the gold market is a different story.

Trading Gold in Todays Market

Despite short-term selloffs, gold is in a clear bull market.

You can see from this chart that the past four times golds pushed up in price, there have been these selloffs. But looking at the overarching trend, its moving upwards.

This is how bull markets work.

So, to see todays bullish trade idea on SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) with a very high probability of success meaning, we can make money despite any further selloff click here to sign up for the free beta test of the Rude Awakening Pro.

James Altucher thinks buying stocks is gambling. I think he's wrong. A mathematician who beat Las Vegas and Wall Street proves why. And three legendary investors show you how to play the game without becoming the sucker.

In 1949, Mao Zedong went to Moscow begging Stalin for money. Seventy-six years later, Russia is the one begging China to move its money. Putin thought he'd escaped Washington's financial grip. Instead, he walked straight into Beijing's tollbooth.

The square root of 260 million is roughly 16,000. That's how many wolves a mathematical model suggests could threaten a village the size of America's adult population. It's only a game, of course. But Washington has been playing a remarkably similar one for decades.

Intel shareholders had a terrible Friday. They lost nearly 29%. But a group of European investors did something considerably worse. They found a way to lose 87% betting on the very same stock. Their secret? A little financial engineering, three times the leverage, and an airbag that deployed after the car hit the wall.

Poland's president turned his plane around. Riot police surrounded the country's constitutional court. Judges fought over who had the right to sit on the bench. And somewhere in the background sits a mountain of gold. Welcome to Warsaw, where two political rivals fight over the referee, and the whole nation has seen this movie before.
