Chris Vermeulen: Crash or Melt-Up? Markets at a Critical Tipping Point

The markets are at a crossroads, will stocks power to new highs or face a painful bear market? In this in-depth and chart-filled interview, Chris Vermeulen of The Technical Traders tells James Connor why we’re at a critical tipping point, with technical signals flashing both opportunity and risk.

Chris breaks down his outlook for the S&P 500, NASDAQ, gold, silver, the U.S. dollar, Bitcoin, oil, interest rates, and major financial stocks, and explains why the Magnificent Seven are masking underlying market weakness. He warns that the combination of strong gold prices and rising yields could be signaling dangerous economic trouble ahead.

Key Topics:

  • Is this the next 2007-style top?
  • Magnificent Seven vs. the rest of the market
  • Why Chris is avoiding FOMO and waiting for confirmation
  • Gold, silver, and top miners (Newmont, Agnico)
  • Why Bitcoin could spike to $136K
  • U.S. dollar bottoming, 10-year yield warning
  • Bearish outlook for oil
  • Risks facing retirees and long-term investors
