Jonathan Krinsky

Jonathan Krinsky is the Chief Market Technician at BTIG, a global financial services firm. He is a Chartered Market Technician (CMT) who publishes institutional technical analysis on U.S. equities, sectors, and macro markets. Resource investors should care about his work because his cross-asset framework explicitly includes commodities alongside rates and currencies when assessing broader market regime shifts.

Krinsky has built his career producing institutional research at BTIG and previously at Bay Crest Partners. He is a regular voice on CNBC's Closing Bell and Fast Money, where he translates chart-based analysis into actionable market calls. The CMT Association, the governing body for technical analysis professionals, has featured him on its Fill the Gap podcast to discuss his methodology for evaluating cross-asset correlations — how different asset classes like equities, bonds, and commodities move in relation to each other.

His approach is rooted in technical analysis — the study of price action, volume, and chart patterns rather than company fundamentals. Krinsky monitors commodity markets as inputs to his broader equity outlook. He has noted that since 2022, market direction has traded inversely to interest rates, meaning commodities like gold and copper that are sensitive to rate moves become critical signals for equity positioning. He pays particular attention to how commodity price trends interact with currency moves and rate expectations to shape the risk environment for stocks.

For mining investors, Krinsky's value lies in his macro overlay. While he does not issue buy or sell ratings on individual mining companies, his calls on commodity-driven sectors and his tracking of metals price trends help frame the risk-on/risk-off backdrop that dictates capital flows into resource stocks. His clear, plain-spoken explanations of how technical levels in gold, oil, and industrial metals feed into equity sentiment make his commentary a useful risk-management tool.
