S&P 500 Update 19 November 2025
An 11% retracement brings price down to 6,200, the beginning of the move up from 1 August. The mood is sombre. So many different types of bad news. Yet we still can’t break the spike low from 10 October.

Bitcoin Update 19 November 2025
Price nearly tagged the trend support at 88.9k and then a good bounce. Expect we’ll try the downside again a couple of times before some sort of consolidation. We’d be very surprised if price can get above the trend midline at 97.7k this week.
Gold Update 19 November 2025
We like that price tagged our support line at just below 4,000. Good psychological support. Upside limited to 4,200 for now.
