💡 DCG MASTERMIND TAKEAWAYS

From The Community:

1. "Silver to $100 in 2026" - Consensus building among precious metals traders

2. "Oracle is the new momentum king" - TikTok deal changes everything

3. "Fade the fear in crypto" - Extreme fear = buy signal historically

4. "Healthcare is Trump's next target" - Follow the policy shifts

5. "Year-end FOMO incoming" - Don't chase, wait for pullbacks

🎓 PRO TIPS FOR MONDAY

✅ DO:

• Scale into silver weakness (any dip below $66)

• Take profits on gap-ups (lock in gains)

• Watch for low-volume fakeouts (year-end games)

• Set tight stops (volatility is high)

• Keep powder dry (don't go all-in)

❌ DON'T:

• Chase meme stocks in extreme fear

• Ignore stop losses (discipline = survival)

• Overtrade thin markets (commissions add up)

• Fight the Fed (easier policy = bullish)

• Panic sell on noise (have a plan)

🚀 FINAL THOUGHTS

The Setup: Markets are at an inflection point heading into year-end. Silver's historic breakout, Oracle's TikTok catalyst, and Trump's healthcare push create multiple high-probability opportunities. The key is discipline—let trades come to you, don't chase.

The Opportunity: Precious metals are in a secular bull market. Tech infrastructure spending isn't slowing. Healthcare policy shifts create winners and losers. Those positioned correctly will capitalize.

The Risk: Low liquidity, year-end volatility, geopolitical wild cards. Use stops, size appropriately, and don't get greedy.

Monday's Focus: Silver continuation, Oracle momentum, crypto capitulation bottom, Trump policy catalysts.
