Summary
re: monthly1b. Equity bears should be desperate for a monthly close back under the 10MA, currently @ 2021. A monthly close near/at the highs would arguably negate what little remains of the broader bearish scenario.
re: weekly8e: This includes the notion of a 'failed head test' as often touted by Oscar Carboni.
Technically, the scenario is valid so long as the market does not break AND hold above the head - aka.. the high from November - Dow 17977 and sp'2116.
Considering the Dow was 17962 on Thursday... we've already come close to one of the very last tolerable short-stop levels.

Market chatter from Schiff
I would agree the ongoing broad strength in the precious metals (along with related miners) is an indirect signal that the equity market is still vulnerable to renewed downside.
