Junkie Index – Week 31 Summary & Insights

Index Value: 49.62

Direction: Moderating from prior bullish stance

Key Takeaways:

• Sentiment dropped notably from the previous week’s euphoric 74.79 to a more tempered 49.62, indicating a cooling of optimism across the market.

• Miners (72.22) remain the most bullish, continuing to show confidence in the supply-side narrative—possibly signaling tightness or expectations of firm demand in coming weeks.

• Steel Mills (62.5) also hold a strong view, reinforcing downstream belief in price stability or potential recovery.

• Traders (43.75) show fading momentum, suggesting caution or a wait-and-see approach, possibly due to increased volatility or mixed signals from Chinese buying behavior.

• Analysts (31.25) and Financials (12.5) appear skeptical, with Financials turning notably bearish, potentially reacting to macro risk factors or correction fears after last week’s bullish sentiment peak.

  
  

⚠️ Interpretation:

This week’s index suggests the market is split between bullish fundamentals (from producers and end users) and macro or valuation concerns (from financials and analysts). While the correction is healthy after an exuberant rally, continued alignment between miners and mills may provide a floor for prices in the near term.
