Weekly Wrap - 28th Feb - Bad week for Bitcoin, Gold + Silver. DAX + FTSE up. US indices mixed

Housekeeping
The new MONTHLY WRAP will be with you on Saturday 1st March 2025. It will be a look at the various monthly charts for Gold, Silver, Platinum, other commodities and some major indices as well as the RSI’s.
Apologies that I have not been overly active on the chat function this week.

Normal service will resume from Wednesday 5th March 2025 and thank you for your understanding
A massive thank you to ALL new AND existing founding members, paid subscribers and free subscribers. It truly is an honour to see more and more Contrarians :-)
