In this KE Report Daily Editorial (Tuesday, September 2nd), we welcome back TG Watkins, Director of Stocks at Simpler Trading and editor of the Profit Pilot.

We start with the weak opening for September as the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow all pull back while the VIX spikes higher. TG shares his perspective on:

• Why August and September are historically weak months for equities.
  
  
• The impact of institutional book-squaring and seasonality (including the “Sell Rosh Hashanah, Buy Yom Kippur” effect).
  
  
• Whether shallow pullbacks remain buying opportunities – or if a deeper correction is needed.
  
  

We also dive into precious metals, with gold nearing $3,600 and silver pushing above $41. TG breaks down the technical setups in GLD, GDX, and SIL, explaining how sideways consolidation and moving averages have set the stage for today’s breakout.

Finally, TG highlights opportunities he’s tracking in crypto and COIN, which appear to be stabilizing after recent weakness.
