Bearish prints on XLB, IWM + gold selloff potential

December 13, 2025   |   Read Online Hey, it's Brandon Chapman I'm hosting a new Silent Surge webinar this Monday at 2pm ET [reserve your spot here—it's free], to share what my Ghost Prints Surveillance Console is showing me right now. Powell's "hawkish cut" changed everything. Most people think rate cuts are bullish. But the way Powell cut rates, combined with what he said about 2026, created a more hawkish outlook than the market expected. He wants to let the data decide—that's code for "fewer cuts next year" than investors were banking on. That setup could trigger sharp drops and quick profit opportunities on the downside. Ghost Prints is already showing bearish activity on XLB and IWM. Add that to the weakness we saw in TSM and ORCL last week, and you've got both small caps and technology showing interesting downside potential. Another big question: Are we about to see a selloff in gold and commodities? It all hinges on how the market digests Powell's hawkish stance. And Ghost Prints will show us exactly where institutions are positioning themselves. Trading at the end of the year could feature pullbacks that deliver profitable put trades. I'm tracking every institutional footprint to find those opportunities. My track record includes 375% on KSS in 13 days, 222% on PLUG in 48 days, 206% on PLUG in 5 days, 150% on RKT in 25 hours, and 100% on SLV in 38 days. My last five trades using Ghost Prints? All winners, including that fresh 46% gain.
