            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="font-size:15px; line-height:1.75; margin-bottom:16px; color:#d1d5db;">Most ASX blue chips remain weak. Yet major miners are turning bullish.</p>
<p style="font-size:15px; line-height:1.75; margin-bottom:16px; color:#d1d5db;">That split can look like a broad recovery. It may instead be a short, crowded move.</p>
<p style="font-size:15px; line-height:1.75; margin-bottom:16px; color:#d1d5db;">About 81 per cent of tracked ASX blue chips remain bearish or falling. BHP, Rio, Fortescue, Mineral Resources and Pilbara Minerals have shifted higher.</p>
<p style="font-size:15px; line-height:1.75; margin-bottom:16px; color:#d1d5db;">This is not a healthy market-wide rally yet. It is strength inside one part of the market.</p>
<h2 style="font-size:20px; font-weight:700; margin-top:32px; margin-bottom:12px; color:#f3f4f6;">Miners are breaking away</h2>
<figure class="post-media-figure" style="margin:24px 0; text-align:center;"><img src="https://tribe-s3-production.imgix.net/2sQMH1xUZBHuILhU2rxa0?auto=compress,format" alt="Figure 1 shows whether fresh buying is spread across major miners while the wider ASX 200 remains under pressure." style="max-width:100%; height:auto; border-radius:8px; border:1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.1); box-shadow:0 8px 24px rgba(0,0,0,0.4);"><figcaption style="font-size:13px; color:#9ca3af; text-align:center; margin-top:8px; font-style:italic;">Figure 1 shows whether fresh buying is spread across major miners while the wider ASX 200 remains under pressure.</figcaption></figure>
<p style="font-size:15px; line-height:1.75; margin-bottom:16px; color:#d1d5db;">Look across the mining rows in the chart. BHP, Rio, Fortescue, Mineral Resources and Pilbara Minerals show bullish trend readings.</p>
<p style="font-size:15px; line-height:1.75; margin-bottom:16px; color:#d1d5db;">The wider ASX 200 still shows pressure. That makes this a miner move, not a whole-market move.</p>
<p style="font-size:15px; line-height:1.75; margin-bottom:16px; color:#d1d5db;">Pilbara Minerals shows why care still matters. Its trend is bullish, but shares remain down 28.3 per cent over the period shown.</p>
<p style="font-size:15px; line-height:1.75; margin-bottom:16px; color:#d1d5db;">A bullish turn can mark a change in direction. It cannot erase the earlier fall.</p>
<p style="font-size:15px; line-height:1.75; margin-bottom:16px; color:#d1d5db;">The first test is breadth within mining. More miners need to hold bullish readings for several sessions.</p>
<h2 style="font-size:20px; font-weight:700; margin-top:32px; margin-bottom:12px; color:#f3f4f6;">BHP faces the harder test</h2>
<p style="font-size:15px; line-height:1.75; margin-bottom:16px; color:#d1d5db;">BHP is the clearest marker for this move. Its large size makes short bursts of buying less convincing.</p>
<figure class="post-media-figure" style="margin:24px 0; text-align:center;"><img src="https://tribe-s3-production.imgix.net/zTFkz8ruTBxYAVfys0NPo?auto=compress,format" alt="Figure 2 compares BHP buying pressure during the Asian session with its daily trend." style="max-width:100%; height:auto; border-radius:8px; border:1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.1); box-shadow:0 8px 24px rgba(0,0,0,0.4);"><figcaption style="font-size:13px; color:#9ca3af; text-align:center; margin-top:8px; font-style:italic;">Figure 2 compares BHP buying pressure during the Asian session with its daily trend.</figcaption></figure>
<p style="font-size:15px; line-height:1.75; margin-bottom:16px; color:#d1d5db;">Look at the daily trend first. It has moved from earlier weakness into a bullish state.</p>
<p style="font-size:15px; line-height:1.75; margin-bottom:16px; color:#d1d5db;">Then compare the shorter Asian session reading. Buying pressure is improving, but it needs to stay firm during pauses.</p>
<p style="font-size:15px; line-height:1.75; margin-bottom:16px; color:#d1d5db;">Steady demand can absorb shares without a sharp price jump. A quick fade would weaken the daily turn.</p>
<p style="font-size:15px; line-height:1.75; margin-bottom:16px; color:#d1d5db;">If buying pressure falls while price stalls, the move may be only a bounce. The daily signal would then lack shorter-term support.</p>
<h2 style="font-size:20px; font-weight:700; margin-top:32px; margin-bottom:12px; color:#f3f4f6;">What would support the move</h2>
<p style="font-size:15px; line-height:1.75; margin-bottom:16px; color:#d1d5db;">The stronger case needs BHP to stay bullish across both time views. Buying pressure also needs to hold during a quiet pullback.</p>
<p style="font-size:15px; line-height:1.75; margin-bottom:16px; color:#d1d5db;">Rio, Fortescue and lithium miners should keep their fresh bullish readings. That would show the move is spreading within mining.</p>
<p style="font-size:15px; line-height:1.75; margin-bottom:16px; color:#d1d5db;">The weaker case starts with BHP turning Neutral / Compression. A later bearish turn would add to that warning.</p>
<p style="font-size:15px; line-height:1.75; margin-bottom:16px; color:#d1d5db;">A broad reversal across the miner group would challenge the hard-asset story. It would suggest buyers chased only a few early turns.</p>
<p style="font-size:15px; line-height:1.75; margin-bottom:16px; color:#d1d5db;">The market remains the judge. These are conditions to watch, not instructions to trade.</p>

Well, we're out of luck!

A big fat ZERO.

Horses placed.<br><br>If you forgot already, it was Melbourne Cup yesterday.<br><br>I missed it. I was adding some juicy details to Part I of the Long Range Forecast for 2026 - which is open right now! - Totally forgot!<br><br>And around 11pm at night, it dawned. Melbourne Cup!<br><br>Sh*t.<br><br>So I checked, and rightfully so. We placed none in the top three, a massive loss!<br><br>That was Onesmoothoperator, Valiant King &amp; Meydaan.<br><br>Shout out to Luke Bayley though.<br><br>He's the one teaching me his model. I stuck to simpleton rules. Luke said, "This year is a hard race."<br><br>There are too many possibilities at the time of the race. It's best to widen the search or stay out altogether.<br><br>As you know, I didn't follow. I stuck to rule Number 1. Follow the M.C. only. That worked for us last year.<br><br>This is year #2 in Horse Racing. Will take me some time to get the hang of it. And with only 1 race a year I'm looking at. Well, probably my fault for not practicing a bit more!<br><br>Valiant King took it in The Bart Cummings. That's it. But even still, not relevant!<br><br>Anyway, there were 24 horses.<br><br>I dropped the list down to 3 based on the Astro Rules. Luke said, "Look, I've got a list of 7."<br><br>That's 24 down to 7 possibilities. Then you refine from there.<br><br>Luke had OneSmoothOperator, Flatten the Curve, River of Stars, Goodie Two Shoes as group one.<br><br>The original 4. Then he added 3 more...<br><br>They were Half Yours, Presage Nocturne and Middle Earth.<br><br>My fault for not taking Luke's advice that the M.C. isn't the area of focus this year.<br><br>Let's take a look at Luke's picks!<br><br>First Place was Half Yours. Second was Goodie Two Shoes. Third was Middle Earth and fourth was River of Stars.<br><br>Well done, Luke! I'm not sure the order of your bets, and which you placed your money on. But 4 out of 7, out of 24 took the spot in the top!</p><figure data-align="center" data-size="best-fit" data-id="4IHKSftv6HPNF9Nr80ALH" data-version="v2" data-type="image"><img data-id="4IHKSftv6HPNF9Nr80ALH" src="https://tribe-s3-production.imgix.net/4IHKSftv6HPNF9Nr80ALH?auto=compress,format"></figure><p><br>For us stock traders and forecasters. What has this got to do with the Markets - yah?<br><br>Well, the same goes here.<br><br>You get better only through practice!<br><br>The most important thing to remember is that you should never give up.<br><br>Allow me to use an anecdote.<br><br>Consider that there are thousands of books on trading and investing. Every author claims their method and model works.<br><br>Yet, you have tried and tried and tried and yet you still can't seem to find success.<br><br>You wonder to yourself, is it all a scam? Are these authors liars?<br><br>And the answer is no!<br><br>Every single method, every single model works. But it might not work for you.<br><br>And that's the key here. Finding what works for you. And that only comes through experience.<br><br>It's why many traders say focus on one thing, get good at it and never change.<br><br>Truth is, it might take you a while to figure out what that one thing is. But when you find it, you work it...<br><br>But you don't just stop there.<br><br>You improve it and you learn how it works for you.<br><br>If you can do that then you will be on your way.<br><br>Think of how many people tried to trade with Moving Averages, Trend Lines, Elliott Wave, heck, even Gann!<br><br>Many tried, and many more failed.<br><br>But that doesn't mean it doesn't work. Right?<br><br>There are wildly successful people using it today. Because it works for them.<br><br>For me, I focused on Gann. That's my field. The field of Forecasting. The theory of Time &amp; Cycles.<br><br>Sometimes you win, other times you lose.<br><br>But overall. Once you hone in and get good at it - You will succeed with better chance than random!<br><br>The same will go for anything. If you decide Horse Race betting is for you. Then practice it.<br><br>I digress.<br><br>The race is over. I hope you had fun. I lost this year.<br><br>But then again. I didn't even realise the race had been won. Guess I'm not really a gambler!<br><br>Enjoy your day!</p>]]></content:encoded>
