CrowdStrike, Goes Vertical

May 8, 2026 By in Artificial Intelligence, CRWD, CRWD-26-01, Ox Talks Leave a comment

While The Narrative Unravels

Yesterday’s update on CrowdStrike, said that Fridays were typically biased to the upside.

Well, that’s what happened and a bit more than expected.

A.I. Narrative Blow-Out

Before getting to the chart, a reminder the A.I. narrative’s unraveling in real-time, big time, links here, and here (not advice, not a recommendation).

The chart shows going vertical into the close of the day.

Note the resistance zone.

CrowdStrike CRWD, Daily

As shown, volume and Force Index contract as price action rises into the resistance area.

We’re now on to the weekend.

One has to wonder, what A.I. implosion will happen next.

Silver: Crash of ’08, and Now

April 11, 2026 By in Gold & Silver, 1987, SLV, 2007 - 2008, 1998, 2000 - 2001, Ox Talks, Bubba Trading, David Lin Tags: , , , , 1 Comment

Possibilities for The Present

Is it the same as ’08, but worse?

For old-timers who were there during the crash of ’08, and ’00, and ’98, all the way back to ’87, the pattern of ’08, was different.

During the ’08 crisis, you could see (and feel) in real time, how the burden was transferred by decree, to the public.

Along with that, was:

‘If this thing somehow manages to pull out, the next time (and there will be a next time) there’s no saving it’.

Re-Visiting, ’08

Data’s accumulating, building the case, we’re back to the ’08 playbook (not advice, not a recommendation).

Memory Lane

Just a reminder of what it was like back then, this link.

Flash Crash ’10

Since we’re building a case, let’s throw in this, link here.

‘all the way down … 79s are tradinggggggg…’

Silver Then, Silver Now

So, how did silver behave during that blow-up in ’08. Did ‘everybody’ flock to safety?

The short answer is no. Silver got hammered; down nearly 60%, right along with the rest.

Only afterwards, did it launch into a bull move. All of which, brings us to today.

Silver Tracking ETF, SLV, Monthly

Looking at the chart, one can immediately understand what’s being suggested (not advice, not a recommendation).

A decline of 60% from the January 29th, high, puts SLV in the vicinity of 43 – 44 (not advice, not a recommendation).

SOXX: Reversal & Retrace (so far)

March 2, 2026 By in Artificial Intelligence, Ed Dowd, NVDA, Ox Talks, Semiconductors, SOXX

What’s Next?

The price segment at left, shows the SOXX reversing from all-time highs, lower into minor support, then retrace.

That move is in line with the Nvidia reversal on its earnings release.

As we’ve heard many times (Ed Dowd, Ox Talks and others), just the hint of slowing sales may be enough to kick off a sustained downside move (not advice, not a recommendation).

Tomorrow is ‘Day 5’ from all-time highs.

AIG … Higher, New Target

February 27, 2026 By in AIG, AIG-26-01, Ox Talks, Spring-to-Up-Thrust

A Familiar Scene

AIG, did not reverse as anticipated, link here.

Short position, AIG-26-01, was closed out with a tiny loss.

There are fundamentals a-plenty, link here, to surmise that AIG’s on borrowed time (not advice, not a recommendation).

From the chart, it’s been five successive weekly highs, and higher lows.

With the knowledge a reversal can happen at any time, looking at the chart with its ‘spring’ condition, what’s the next (most likely) target?

Nvidia Breakdown

February 26, 2026 By in Artificial Intelligence, NVDA, Ox Talks, Semiconductors, Up-Thrust

Is This It?

Is the A.I. story, over?

As Ox Talks says here, the never-ending, upward move on any kind of news, may finally be at an end (not advice, not a recommendation).

Looking at the chart, we see after all-time highs, price action drifted sideways for months.

The deep retrace before the false breakout, gave a clue that supply was building.

AIG … Gap Filled?

February 24, 2026 By in AIG, AIG-26-01, Ox Talks 2 Comments

What Happens Next

Back on January 6th, we had this from ‘Ox Talks’.

The question is:

Has AIG effectively filled the gap?

According to the link above, management has tossed out (or about to), the CEO that nursed the company back to profitability (not advice, not a recommendation).

CrowdStrike … Tests Breakdown

December 19, 2025 By in Artificial Intelligence, CAT, CRWD, Ox Talks 1 Comment

Similar to Caterpillar

Our favorite chief, cook, and bottle washer of the negative P/E, currently standing at -379, is about the same as the last update.

The difference from then, is that price action has got itself into a potential test of a wedge breakdown.

Ever since the ‘update glitch‘ wipeout, it’s never been the same for CRWD.

CrowdStrike CRWD, Daily Close

Yesterday’s action closed higher. So far today, trading is continuing the move.

It’s important to note that volume is not remarkable; meaning, the last high-volume day was at the earnings release on December 2nd, and 3rd.

Unlike CAT, in the prior update, we don’t have a decisive indicator (volume) for a trend break (not advice, not a recommendation).

It’s as if CRWD, is banging around (with low volume), trying to find a direction.

‘Comments’ for The Week

November 22, 2025 By in Artificial Intelligence, Comments, NVDA, Ox Talks, Semiconductors, SOXX

Progression of Thought

The following links are a summary of market related comments (made on other channels or platforms) for the week.

This past week has been interesting, with potential kick-off, of the A.I. implosion (not advice, not a recommendation).

Tuesday

The crash of 1899 was in December. So, it’s happened before … (link here).

Wednesday

Tomorrow will (likely) be an interesting day. For the SOXX, a move above or around 294 – 296, will likely take out the shorts. (link here)

Thursday

Nvidia has already peaked (October 29th). Today’s action was a ‘test’ of that reversal. Watch to see if NVDA closes lower for the day. (link here)

Summary

The SOXX, never made it to the target range. Highest print for last Thursday, was 289.99; then, it collapsed.

Nvidia action for that day looked like a test; then closed lower for the day … then lower again, the next day.

Gold’s ‘Shocking’ Reversal

October 28, 2025 By in 2007 - 2008, Artificial Intelligence, Dollar, Ed Dowd, GLD, Gold & Silver, Ox Talks, Semiconductors, Thoughtful Money, UUP 1 Comment

… And ‘Dollar Debasement’

‘When the trade gets a name, it’s over’. Ed Dowd

His assessment on the ‘dollar debasement’ trade, comments on gold, can be found here.

Gold dropped -50%, during the last melt-down, ’07 – ’08; it could do the same again (not advice, not a recommendation).

With that, we’re looking at gold (GLD) from a strategic standpoint.

Meaning, it’s a long-term bull market, but where a sustained ‘correction’ may be at hand.

Gold GLD, Weekly

The trendline goes all the way back to the beginning of the GLD, fund.

Note the largest ever Force Index. Past similar actions either resulted in a sideways move, or reversal.

The Fibonacci projection tool, highlighted in magenta.

The projection levels are shown as blue lines. It’s clear, GLD is ‘respecting’ the levels.

A gold, GLD drop of 50% (from the 403.30, high), would put it at 201.65 (not advice, not a recommendation).

Margin Debt Increases

First, it was $1 Trillion.

Now, it’s $1.13 Trillion; discussed here.

While everyone’s looking for A.I. to burst (including this site), maybe the precious metals are going first.

Banks ‘Rolling Over’

October 21, 2025 By in Banking, Ed Dowd, KRE, KRE-25-02, Ox Talks, Positions, Thoughtful Money

Market Summary, Ed Dowd

The section at left, shows the bank (KRE) rebound from last Thursday’s sell-off, losing steam.

In the early part of this interview with Ed Dowd, he states the banks are ‘rolling over’ as a result of a ‘toxic brew’ of economic conditions (not advice, not a recommendation).

We see that (potential) in the chart.

Adding to that, we have this, from ‘Ox Talks’.

It’s a technical rundown of the latest fraud and lawsuit. Well worth the 17-minutes to view.

That was yesterday. Today, he’s out with more, link here.
