Chris Vermeulen is a technical-market strategist and trader associated with TheTechnicalTraders/The Technical Traders. In the supplied transcript, he speaks as a chart- and cycle-driven market commentator who emphasizes price action, time cycles, and investor sentiment over fundamentals. He presents himself as active in the market, using cash when his signals turn cautious and re-entering when his framework turns bullish. His style is directional and tactical, with frequent references to support/resistance, V-shaped reversals, all-time highs, and speculative leadership across asset classes.
Vermeulen’s recurring economic worldview is that markets move in identifiable cycles, and that sentiment extremes create tradable turning points. He expects crowds to chase momentum near peaks, while his own approach looks for intermediate lows, distribution, and signs of trend exhaustion. He is generally open to bullish rebounds when his technical signals align, but he also stresses that rallies can become overextended quickly and that speculative enthusiasm, FOMO, and broad risk-on behavior often precede reversals. Across the material, he sees cross-asset moves in small caps, crypto, metals, and defensive sectors as evidence of shifting risk appetite, and he treats liquidity flows and market psychology as central drivers.

Preview:Chris Vermeulen presents a technical analysis-driven thesis that precious metals (gold, silver) and Bitcoin are poised for one more sharp, event-driven washout low before a major rally. He sets gold targets at ~$3,600 (downside) and ~$8,100-$8,500 (upside), silver at ~$40 (downside) with a quick rebound to $60+, and Bitcoin at ~$45,000. He sees distribution selling in equities, has moved to cash in S&P 500/QQQ positions, and is waiting for either a breakout or correction to re-enter. The core message: get ready to "back the truck up" on physical metals during a brief, violent dip.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen presents a cautious near-term outlook: he believes the US dollar is on the cusp of a major breakout above 101-102, which would pressure equities and trigger a sharp, fast sell-off in gold and silver. He views any metals sell-off as a buying opportunity for long-term positions, but stresses patience — waiting for confirmed breakout direction before deploying capital. He has liquidated most equities and physical metals, is sitting in heavy cash (~20-40% allocation), and advises treating precious metals as a multi-decade insurance policy, not a speculation vehicle.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen presents a technical analysis of precious metals and equities, arguing gold is likely headed for a sharp washout to ~$3,600 before rebounding, with silver potentially dropping to ~$40. He sees these as short-lived buying opportunities within a secular bull market. On equities, he's stepped aside from QQQ/SPX positions due to mixed signals and distribution patterns, though a 20% upside breakout remains possible. Long-term targets: gold at $8,100-$8,500, driven by debt expansion and money supply growth.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen says gold and silver are in a short-term reset, with charts pointing to one more sharp washout before a tradable base forms. He also sees Bitcoin weakening and thinks the broad market is still in a bull trend but choppy, with a possible final upside burst or a deeper pullback depending on whether recent highs hold.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen delivers a technical-analysis-driven market update focused on silver, gold, and the dollar. He warns that a dollar bullish flag breakout could trigger a sharp precious metals selloff, with silver's downside target around $40/oz. On equities, he sees resilience but notes distribution-like selling and elevated volatility as possible topping signals. His core framework applies Stan Weinstein-style stage analysis: gold and silver are in Stage 3/4 (topping/declining), while bonds remain in a downtrend and equities still trend higher. He dismisses manipulation narratives around silver as emotional trader psychology.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen presents a bearish near-term outlook for gold and silver, citing a US dollar breakout toward 109 and Fibonacci measured moves pointing to gold at ~$3,600 and silver at ~$40. He's exited his gold position above $5,000 and silver at $111, is now fully in cash, and awaits re-entry signals. Long-term, he sees a giant bull flag with upside targets of $8,000–$8,600 gold and $165–$175 silver. He also flags exhaustion in equities, viewing a possible final AI/tech euphoric push before a larger sell-off.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen presents a near-term bearish, long-term ultra-bullish thesis on precious metals. He argues gold and silver are in a euphoria-to-correction washout phase, with gold potentially dropping to $3,600 (fair value) before resuming a rally toward $8,000–$8,600. Silver could correct as far as $40 before a longer-term parabolic target of $165–$175/oz. The US dollar breaking out adds headwinds. He preaches patience, risk management, and waiting for buy signals rather than catching falling knives. He sold gold above $5,000 and silver at $111 and is now in cash waiting to reload.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen joins Jeremy to discuss the sharp correction in precious metals. Gold has broken below $4,000 support and his Fibonacci analysis targets $3,600 as the next major support and accumulation zone. He sees a long-term bull flag with upside targets of $8,000-$8,600 for gold and $165-$175 for silver. The dollar has broken out of a multi-year base, targeting 109, which he says will pressure metals further. He advocates cash as a position, waiting for confirmed momentum before re-entering, and warns that margin calls and emotional retail positioning suggest more downside before the next sustainable rally. He dismisses manipulation narratives, attributing violent moves to crowd psychology.
Preview:Chris (from VRIC Media) lays out a technical analysis case for gold to correct further to the $3,300–$3,600/oz range — with $3,600 as the primary downside target using Fibonacci extensions. He frames this as bullish: a healthy multi-wave shakeout that would flush late euphoric buyers and build a base for the next leg higher. The long-term upside target is $8,000–$8,600/oz. He recommends long-term investors accumulate in the $3,300–$3,600 zone and cautions against chasing other hot sectors if gold/silver/miners underperform during the base-building phase.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen presents a technical analysis of gold, silver, and miners, arguing precious metals are in a trendless, choppy environment despite an underlying long-term super cycle. Gold has a downside Fibonacci target of ~$3,600 and an upside target of ~$8,000–8,600. Silver targets ~$40 downside and ~$175 upside. Miners (GDXJ) are breaking down with ~13-14% more downside toward ~$83. His strategy: step aside during trendless periods, rotate into equities (which are trending but showing internal weakening), and wait to re-enter metals at cycle lows or confirmed breakouts.
Preview:An interview about Oceanic Iron Ore makes the case that a structural supply shift in high-grade iron ore is creating a favorable setup for a Quebec project that avoids rail dependence. The guest argues the company is moving toward a refreshed PFS, permitting work, and a strategic partner/offtake deal that could re-rate the story.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen, chief market strategist at The Technical Traders, takes a contrarian stance on gold: he sold near the top above $5,000 and is now sitting in cash waiting for gold to hit ~$3,600 before reloading. He sees gold in a technical breakdown, testing the critical $4,000 level with a measured-move target of $3,600 based on Fibonacci analysis. The dollar's breakout adds headwinds for precious metals. On the S&P 500, he's also moved fully to cash, seeing exhaustion signals and watching for a potential final euphoric push before a larger sell-off. His core message: discipline, risk management, and waiting for the train to leave the station in the right direction.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues that gold and silver are in a tactical selloff that should be treated as temporary, with the bigger opportunity likely after a deeper washout. He sees gold as oversold only near $3,600 and thinks silver may need to bleed toward $39-$40 before a sharp, short-lived bounce and a longer base-building phase.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues that Bitcoin has the most downside, gold has the least downside, and the S&P 500 is in a volatile topping/neutral phase where a break lower could trigger a defensive rotation. His core message is that investors should scale out of strength, preserve capital, and favor assets with clearer trend behavior rather than “falling in love” with any one trade.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues the market is in a short-term neutral, unstable zone after a sharp rally, with his system trimming exposure rather than calling a top. He is more cautious on Bitcoin than on equities, sees gold as comparatively lower-risk than silver, and thinks higher rates and defensive rotation are a headwind for risk assets.
Preview:Chris Vermulan argues the short-term setup is bearish for risk assets and precious metals because the dollar has broken out, market internals are weakening, and gold/silver/platinum all look like they need deeper corrections before the next major advance. He thinks the pullback could be constructive for long-term bulls, but near term he expects more downside and recommends waiting for better technical levels rather than chasing strength.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues the market has shifted from euphoria to a topping/defensive phase: stocks, gold, Bitcoin and oil have all rolled over, and he thinks the most likely near-term move is a pullback rather than a clean breakout. He is most bearish on Bitcoin, sees the dollar and utilities as the clearest relative-strength trades, and says he is keeping only small equity exposure until the trend resolves.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues gold and silver are at a major inflection point: near-term charts still point lower, but the long-term trend remains bullish and could eventually resolve into a much larger breakout if key support holds. He thinks the next big move will depend heavily on the US dollar, stock-market momentum, and whether precious metals can hold current support or shake out weak holders first.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues that multiple markets are at a critical inflection point: the U.S. dollar may be breaking out, which he thinks could pressure gold, silver, miners, Bitcoin, and parts of the equity market, while defensive sectors and cash-like flows are quietly strengthening. He frames the setup as highly volatile and says the market may be nearing an euphoria-to-peak transition, especially in AI, small caps, ETFs, and IPOs.
Preview:The video argues that gold and silver are at a major turning point: short-term technicals are weak, but the long-term monetary case remains intact. The speakers say gold could quickly fall toward $3,600 if it loses the key $4,000 area, while silver needs to hold roughly $60-$61 or risk a sharper drop toward $40; if those supports hold, they see a resumption of the larger bull trend, with much higher upside later.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues gold and silver are at a major turning point: both metals are short-term weak, but still in a longer-term bullish structure if key support holds. His tactical focus is on gold around $4,000 and silver around $60–$61; if those levels fail, he expects fast drops toward gold $3,600 and silver $40, while a successful hold could precede much larger upside later, including a long-cycle gold target around $8,600. He ties the setup to a strengthening U.S. dollar and a late-cycle stock rally, especially an AI-driven euphoric push that could rotate capital out of metals before a bigger reset.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen says gold and silver are at a major inflection point: short-term downside remains possible, but the long-term trend is still bullish if key support levels hold. He argues gold must hold roughly $4,000 or risk a fast drop toward $3,600, while silver needs to hold the low $60s or it could fall toward $40; if those supports hold, he sees the next major upside leg potentially unfolding after a shakeout.
Preview:The speaker argues the market is in an emotionally driven, possibly euphoric phase: equities jumped on peace-deal hopes, but the move looked news-driven and fragile, while oil, the dollar, bonds, utilities, gold, and silver all showed mixed tactical signals. He uses the day’s price action and several historical bubble examples to warn that recent enthusiasm — including IPO/FOMO behavior around SpaceX — may be a blow-off-type setup rather than a clean risk-on breakout.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues the market is entering a rotation/breakdown phase: the dollar is strengthening, major growth/speculative sectors are showing distribution, and precious metals may have much further downside before a better long-term buying opportunity emerges. He remains constructive on metals over years, but tactically expects more pain first, while also warning that financials and speculative IPO enthusiasm may be late-cycle signals.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues the current setup is mixed in precious metals but increasingly favorable for cash and selective rotation rather than chasing crowded trades. He is bullish on the long-term gold supercycle, but near-term he expects a dollar breakout could pressure gold, silver, miners, and equities before offering better entry points.
Preview:The video argues that gold and silver are at a major technical decision point: either they resume a higher-highs/higher-lows trend and continue their long-term bull market, or they break down into one more cleansing flush before the next advance. The speakers lean constructive over the long run, but are neutral-to-bearish tactically because the short-term charts still show mixed signals.
Preview:Christopher Muan is broadly bullish on precious metals over the long run, but he thinks gold, silver, and miners are in a tactical correction phase with more downside possible before the next major leg higher. He is also bullish on equities for now, despite warning that a correction in tech, a firmer dollar, and higher rates could eventually trigger broader risk-off pressure.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues the market can keep grinding higher, especially in equities, but he thinks tech is becoming fragile and could eventually trigger a sharp correction. He is still long the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, but says he has been scaling out, while watching the dollar as a potential defensive trade and expecting gold, Bitcoin, and oil to face more near-term pressure or remain choppy.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues that gold and silver are in a high-uncertainty, mixed-signal zone: the long-term trend is still bullish, but the short-term setup is bearish-to-neutral and could either break out hard or flush sharply lower. He maps silver to a potential upside target around 175 and a downside target around 40, while gold could either rally toward about 8,800 or retrace toward 4,100 and then 3,600. He also says the broader equity market remains concentrated in tech, though breadth is improving into small caps and micro caps, which he sees as bullish but also potentially speculative.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues the broad market remains in a strong, momentum-driven uptrend, led almost entirely by mega-cap technology and AI-related chip stocks. He thinks the near-term risk is not trend failure but euphoric positioning: IPOs, AI hype, and crowded ownership could still push the Nasdaq and chip names higher before a sharp unwind.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues that US equities remain in a strong, tech-led uptrend, with broadening participation starting to improve via equal-weighted stocks and small caps, while silver and gold are in a mixed short-term setup after big runs and likely need a deeper pullback before the next durable leg higher. He treats near-term precious-metals weakness as potentially healthy rather than broken, but says the immediate directional path is unclear until key levels resolve.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues the market is still in a powerful equity uptrend, led by a narrow group of AI, semiconductor, tech, and growth names, while gold/silver and some commodities are likely due for a pullback after euphoric runs. He says trend and money flow matter more than fundamentals, and he is positioned accordingly: long equities, cautious on oil, skeptical on agricultural strength, and looking to reload precious metals lower.
Preview:The video argues that gold may need a sharp corrective reset before its next major advance, with Chris Vermeulen focusing on a possible move toward $3,600 and Alasdair Macleod framing the bigger backdrop as fiat-currency debasement. Both speakers are bullish on precious metals structurally, but tactically prefer patience over chasing current prices.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues gold, silver, and miners are near a cyclical peak and likely need a corrective reset before any larger upside. He prefers to stay sidelined, wait for deeper support levels, and then re-enter physical metals rather than chase euphoric momentum or hold through years of dead money.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues the strongest near-term trend is still equities, especially tech and small/micro caps, while precious metals are likely due for a sharp pullback after a euphoric run. He is bullish the S&P 500/Nasdaq tactically, skeptical of oil and agricultural crowding, and expects gold, silver, and miners to correct before offering a better long entry later.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues that silver’s sharp one-day surge and the accompanying move in miners look exciting but may be a crowded, FOMO-driven breakout rather than a clean new safe-haven trend. He is more convinced by the broader risk-on backdrop in equities and sentiment than by silver alone, and says he wants gold to confirm before treating precious metals as a durable bullish setup.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues that silver may have more upside if it can complete a clean breakout pattern, but he is not chasing it yet because gold, miners, and the dollar are still ambiguous. His broader stance is cautious: stay long broad equities and asset classes, but avoid crowded, volatile trades until the trend is confirmed.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen says gold, silver, and miners are still in a long-term uptrend, but he thinks the short-term setup is messy and may require a shakeout before the next major rally.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues gold and silver are in a mixed technical setup: long-term bull trends remain intact, but the short-term trend is down and both metals could still pull back sharply before any larger breakout. He repeatedly emphasizes patience, says he is not buying aggressively here, and prefers to wait for either a confirmed uptrend or a deeper correction that creates a better entry.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues that the current near-term opportunity is still in US equities, while precious metals, miners, copper, and uranium look more like they’re in corrective or topping phases. He is constructive on the long-run themes behind silver, AI infrastructure, and certain commodity trends, but says price action and trend structure matter more than the fundamentals right now.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues that equities remain the only clear trend right now, while gold, silver, and miners have gone from euphoric blow-off conditions into a corrective, wait-and-see phase. He says his process is to follow price and money flows rather than headlines, so he remains long U.S. equities but has stepped aside from precious metals until a new trend confirms.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues that gold and silver remain in a long-term bullish super-cycle, but the current setup is tactically messy and likely needs more time to consolidate before the next major leg. He thinks both metals may correct with equities, possibly sharply, before offering a much better accumulation opportunity.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen is broadly bullish on equities and AI-related semiconductors in the near to medium term, while remaining structurally cautious and bearish on bonds, gold/silver in the short run, and oil as a trading vehicle. His core message is to follow price and money flow rather than predict tops, with the dollar, bond market, and risk rotation serving as the key tells.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues that, despite being structurally bearish on the market long term, he is still long U.S. equities because price, momentum, and money flows remain bullish. He sees gold/silver as range-bound to weak, Bitcoin as bearish, and oil/energy as volatile but tradable via energy equities rather than futures.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues that equities are the best place to be right now, while gold, silver, and miners are in a corrective, trendless phase that could last months. He sees precious metals as still structurally bullish long term, but tactically weak in the near term, with downside risk to gold around 3,500–3,600 and silver around 40 if the selloff deepens.
Preview:A technical-market interview on gold, silver, miners, Bitcoin, and equities. Chris Vermuan argues precious metals are in a corrective pause after an euphoric run, with short-term downside still possible before a larger multi-year bull phase resumes.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues the recent rally in equities, Bitcoin, and parts of the precious-metals complex is mostly a sentiment-driven risk-on burst, with markets now close to resistance and likely due for a pause. He remains bullish tactically on equities into possible new highs, but he is especially interested in buying silver and gold much lower if they retrace to his cited Fibonacci targets.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen says gold and silver are at a decision point after a euphoric run and sharp correction. He thinks both metals can still go much higher over time, but only if they first confirm a new base; otherwise, gold could fall toward about 3,500 and silver toward about 40 before a better long-term setup emerges.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues the market is in a late-cycle euphoric phase: he expects near-term upside can continue, but ultimately sees a major reset, potentially a 2008-style drawdown. He is bullish on gold and silver over the very long run, but tactically neutral to cautious in the near term and prefers waiting for cleaner technical signals.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen presents a cautious-to-bearish near-term outlook on gold and silver, arguing that the euphoric blow-off phase has already occurred and a significant correction is likely. He sees gold potentially pulling back ~25% toward $3,500–$4,000, with silver potentially retracing toward $39–$40. Long-term, he remains bullish (gold $8,000–$14,000, silver $150–$200+), but emphasizes disciplined exit/re-entry timing — including a 2011-style silver dormancy risk — over buy-and-hold conviction.
Preview:A market interview centered on Chris Vermulen’s view that the recent equity rebound, precious-metals surge, and bond weakness are all part of a larger setup for a sharp market reset. He stays tactical and trend-following, but the core message is defensive: stay long while trends are up, raise cash into strength, and be ready to rotate after a major washout.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen and Mario Innecco discuss precious metals at a potential turning point. Innecco highlights macro drivers: China diversifying from Treasuries into gold, Gulf states selling US debt and buying metals, and the possibility of a US gold revaluation. Vermeulen provides technical analysis, seeing gold potentially correcting to ~$3,500 and silver to the low $40s in a liquidity-driven selloff before the next major bull leg. Both view any deep pullback as a buying opportunity within a secular bull market, with long-term targets of $7,000–$10,000 gold and $200 silver.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues the market is in a risk-on rebound that could extend to new highs in the near term, but he is skeptical of chasing it here because sentiment looks crowded and overextended. He remains constructive on equities tactically, cautious on Bitcoin as still bearish, and expects a much better long-term opportunity in gold and silver after a deeper correction.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen lays out a tactical precious metals thesis: gold and silver are in a euphoric top / consolidation phase that mirrors 2011, and he expects a broad market sell-off to drag both metals sharply lower — gold to ~$3,500 and silver to the low $40s — creating what he calls the last great buying opportunity before the next multi-year rally toward $7k–$10k gold and $200 silver. He details his active-trading approach (exited gold near $5,200, silver near $113), explains how to profit during the coming drawdown via cash, inverse ETFs, and dollar-long ETFs, and frames the correction as structurally healthy rather than bearish.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues the market is in a headline-driven tug-of-war where oil, the dollar, equities, and precious metals are all sitting at key technical inflection points. His main near-term view is that a stronger U.S. dollar and a broader market sell-off could pressure gold and silver lower before a larger eventual advance, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq remain in uptrends but are vulnerable to a meaningful correction.
Preview:The speaker argues that near-term market direction is being driven mainly by oil, Middle East escalation, and the knock-on effects on inflation, yields, the dollar, and risk assets. He sees energy as the only clear short-term winner, while stocks, gold, and silver may face further downside before a reset or a new launch higher.
Preview:Craig Hemke interviews technical analyst Chris Vermeulen about the April setup for oil, equities, the dollar, gold, and silver. Chris argues that the Middle East conflict has made crude oil the key near-term market driver, with higher oil likely pushing inflation, yields, the dollar, and equity volatility higher while pressuring precious metals in the short run. He stays bullish on gold and silver over the longer cycle, but thinks the near-term path could include a sharp washout before a better buying opportunity.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues markets are at a fragile inflection point: equities are bouncing, but the bigger risk is a renewed selloff if Middle East escalation lifts oil, pushes yields higher, and strengthens the dollar. He is cautious on gold and silver near-term, saying both metals may still need a deeper reset before becoming attractive again, though he remains bullish on them structurally over the long run.
Preview:This video argues that gold and silver have likely just gone through, or are in, a near-term blowoff-and-pullback phase driven by war headlines, crowded positioning, and buy-the-rumor/sell-the-fact behavior. The speakers are bullish over the longer run, but tactically they want a deeper correction first so they can re-enter at better prices.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues the market is flashing a major downside warning: a breakout in the U.S. dollar, combined with surging oil and weakening risk assets, could mark the start of a larger bear market. He thinks the S&P 500 is in a sequence of lower highs and lower lows, sees Bitcoin weak, and believes gold/silver may still have a much deeper correction before any longer-term upside resumes.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues that gold and silver have put in major topping patterns, with gold acting more like a Nasdaq proxy than a safe haven. He sees a potential 20%+ correction in gold (to ~$3,600) and 30-40% in silver, echoing 2011-style exhaustion. He's stepped aside into cash, waiting for a proper basing pattern before re-entering. Long-term he remains extremely bullish on precious metals, but near-term risk-reward is unfavorable. Silver volume has dried up, retail enthusiasm has flipped to fear, and correlations across metals and equities suggest liquidity-driven selling rather than defensive positioning. He uses FOMO/panic indicators on 30-minute charts to time short-term reversals.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues the market is entering a 2022-like risk-off phase, driven by oil, rising inflation pressure, and broad technical breakdowns in stocks and precious metals. He says the best move for investors is to step aside, preserve capital, and wait for confirmation before re-entering.
Preview:The speaker argues that precious metals and mining stocks have suffered a sharp technical correction and that it may be smarter to stay out until a clearer trend returns. He also expects the U.S. dollar to potentially keep strengthening, which he thinks would pressure metals, equities, and miners further.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen provides a technical and intermarket analysis of the post-geopolitical-shock landscape across oil, equities, and precious metals. He argues the crude oil spike is a bearish topping pattern within a multi-year downtrend, the S&P 500 dip-buying masks a fragile topping structure similar to the 2022 tariff-driven setup, and gold faces a short-term high at resistance with inside-bar risk, while silver remains bearish near-term. His core tactical message: stay in cash, wait for cleaner setups, and rotate into whatever asset class is actually trending up.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen says the post-news surge in oil, stocks, gold, and silver is mostly a tactical reaction to geopolitical shock, not necessarily a durable trend change. He is bearish on oil’s spike, cautious on gold near resistance despite a much higher long-term target, and thinks silver is still short-term weak even though the broader precious-metals trend remains constructive.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues this is a war-driven volatility shock that should mostly fade, leaving near-term bounces in oil, gold, equities, and Bitcoin but not yet changing the broader technical backdrop. He thinks equities and Bitcoin remain vulnerable, while gold and bonds look more constructive over time, and he is notably bearish on silver for now despite seeing long-term upside potential if it first builds a base.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues the Iran shock is creating short-term panic in oil, gold, stocks, and Bitcoin, but he sees much of the move as a news-driven capitulation spike that may fade unless escalation worsens. He is bearish on equities and Bitcoin, prefers gold over silver/miners, and says his process is to move to cash when trend conditions weaken.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues silver and gold are in a euphoric, late-cycle phase where upside may still exist, but the better risk/reward now is to avoid chasing and instead wait for a pullback or new base. He repeatedly compares current price action to 2011, warns of large interim drawdowns, and says he has already sold metals and is waiting for a lower re-entry point.
Preview:An interview on VRIC Media with Chris Vermulan argues that equities, the dollar, and precious metals are all at important inflection points, but the speaker sees the near-term setup as mixed-to-bearish for risk assets and metals alike. He thinks recent strength in SPY and gold/silver/platinum is mostly a bounce or overshoot inside broader uncertain, potentially corrective structures, and says he has moved to cash while waiting for clearer confirmation.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen delivers a bearish near-term call on silver, arguing the parabolic spike above $120/oz mirrors the 2011 top. He uses linear charts to highlight emotional extremes, volume in inverse silver ETFs as capitulation evidence, and sees a potential 60% pullback to $28/oz. Long-term he remains bullish (eventual $400+), but says the "easy money" phase is over and capital should rotate elsewhere until a proper base forms.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues the precious-metals complex is still in a long-term bull market, but the recent surge-and-crash has left it technically damaged and in a wait-and-see phase. He is constructive over the long run on gold, silver, and related miners, but near term he wants confirmation from price, the dollar, and equity markets before re-entering aggressively.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues that silver, gold, Bitcoin, oil, and parts of the mega-cap growth complex are showing late-stage technical damage and that traders should prioritize capital preservation. He says he has already mostly moved to cash, exited precious metals and Nasdaq exposure, and is waiting for cleaner bases before re-entering.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen presents a bearish technical outlook across equities, metals, and crypto. He argues the S&P 500 and NASDAQ are near a major top, with the Magnificent 7 breaking critical support and pointing to a potential 20% decline. Gold faces a possible 20% correction to ~$4,000, silver charts suggest up to 61% downside to $28, and miners (GDX) show heavy institutional distribution. Defensive rotation into utilities and consumer staples, elevated VIX, and extreme put/call ratios confirm risk-off positioning. Bitcoin and software stocks mirror the weakness. He warns a broad equity selloff could drag metals lower via liquidity panic, though he leaves open the 2008-style scenario where precious metals decouple.
Preview:A two-speaker interview about silver, gold, and whether the recent move in precious metals is a true generational breakout or an overheated spike. Chris Vermeulen argues that on a linear chart silver looks parabolic and emotionally stretched, so traders should expect pullbacks and should not blindly chase lofty targets like $200–$400. Clive Thompson agrees the long-run fundamentals for gold and silver remain strong, but says the right response is gradual accumulation and treating metals as insurance against debt, currency chaos, or capital controls.
Preview:The speaker argues that markets are entering a topping phase and that a major correction is likely, with precious metals especially silver already signaling the move. His core solution is an “adaptive compounding” or asset-revesting strategy: stay only in the strongest asset class, step aside when trends break, and rotate into bonds, cash, or other instruments rather than buy-and-hold through large drawdowns.
Preview:Two market commentators argue that gold and especially silver may be near an overextended near-term peak, even while preserving a longer secular bull case. One speaker thinks gold can still trend higher into a euphoric blow-off, but both emphasize taking some profits, expecting a sizable correction, and preserving capital rather than trying to catch the exact top.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen and Craig discuss the recent sharp correction in precious metals after a parabolic rally. Silver hit a Fibonacci target at $106, then spiked to $120-140 before a ~37% correction. Vermeulen argues the easy money in metals has been made, that chaos is already priced in, and he's looking to trim positions on bounces toward $91-97. The core debate: was this a bull-market pullback or a major top preceding years of dormancy? Vermeulen leans toward the latter, advocating cash positions and patience for a re-entry after a deeper reset akin to 2008.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues that gold and especially silver have likely already priced in a lot of the bullish story and may be vulnerable to a sharp correction after a parabolic run. He says he has sold out of physical metals, is shifting to ETFs for any tactical re-entry, and prefers to wait for a deeper reset before considering miners again.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues that the recent surge in miners, metals, and Bitcoin is likely a topping phase rather than a fresh breakout, and he expects broad market weakness to continue after a short bounce. He says he has already trimmed or exited metals exposure and is mostly staying in cash or small S&P 500 exposure while waiting for a better setup.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen walks through the aftermath of a sharp precious metals sell-off, noting silver dropped ~41% from its peak and requires a ~70% rally to recover. He compares the current weekly silver chart to the 2011 cycle, suggesting months of base-building could follow. His core message is risk-management: he's trimmed positions into strength, is waiting to see if gold/silver can retrace roughly half their losses before potentially liquidating more, and emphasizes that cash is a strategic asset. Equities are still trending up, money is rotating into stocks, and commodities broadly show damage. He avoids definitive predictions and stresses process over forecasting.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues the huge January surge in precious metals likely marked a euphoric blowoff, not the start of an easy next leg higher. He thinks gold is sturdier than silver, but he is more inclined to trim positions into rebounds than chase the move, because the charts now show major damage and the risk is that metals can correct sharply or go sideways for months.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen believes gold and silver are in a late-cycle blow-off phase rather than the early stages of a new bull run. Silver hit his 106 measured-move target then surged to 121 before crashing 32% in a single day — a "staircase up, elevator down" pattern he views as typical euphoric-exhaustion price action. He now expects a tactical bounce toward 100–110, but warns a larger 40–60% correction could unfold over months, especially if equities peak. He has been scaling out of long-term physical positions built since 2019, arguing that crisis expectations are already priced into metals, and the smarter play is capital preservation — moving to cash and waiting for the next trend.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues silver’s violent drop was a classic euphoric blowoff and liquidation event, not necessarily the final top. He thinks the charts still leave room for a rebound toward 100 or even 110 in the near term, but he is generally scaling out of precious metals and is wary of a much larger correction over the coming months if equities roll over.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen warns gold and silver are in a blowoff/euphoric phase with both metals hitting major Fibonacci targets. Gold surged past his $5,200 target; silver broke $106 and spiked to ~$120. He advises scaling out of positions, fearing 40-60% haircuts ahead, and notes silver could top before gold — just as it did in 2011. Supporting narrative covers central bank de-dollarization, Chinese gold infrastructure, and fiat currency erosion, but the core tactical message is: lock in profits before the music stops.
Preview:Chris discusses the silver feeding frenzy after it breaks and holds above $100, with gold approaching $5,000. He argues precious metals are in a late-stage parabolic blowoff, likely weeks from a significant peak, and advises scaling out. He expects an initial stock market selloff to boost metals, but a second leg down would drag metals sharply lower (gold -34%, silver -60%). He is 70% cash after liquidating QQQ, sees a bearish Bitcoin trade via BITI, and believes the next big opportunity will be miners after the coming correction.
Preview:Christopher Muan argues gold and silver are still in a powerful bull market but are entering late-stage, bubble-like conditions where momentum can continue sharply higher before a major peak. He thinks the next few weeks/months are a critical window for a final metals surge, after which he expects profit-taking, a stock-market rollover, and a possible rotation into cash and the U.S. dollar rather than chasing other risk assets.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues that gold, silver, and now platinum are in a powerful late-stage blowoff phase, with metals acting as the clearest warning signal that broader financial stress is building. He thinks the next move may be very fast and very extended, but also very near a short-term top, so the main tactical message is to protect gains and expect a sharp correction once leverage and retail frenzy peak.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues that precious metals, especially silver and gold, are in a late-stage blowoff driven by crowding and fear, while equities—particularly the Magnificent 7 / AI complex—look vulnerable to a top. He says the setup favors a short-term continuation higher in metals, but he is already becoming defensive because he expects a major correction after the final push.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen analyzes a risk-off day (Jan 21, 2026) driven by Trump tariff news, with gold +3%, silver +7.4%, natural gas +25%, and the dollar dropping. He argues Bitcoin has "lost its shine," decoupling from precious metals and trading with the NASDAQ — a bear flag points to a potential 48-49K target. Copper shows a "three surges to a high" topping pattern. Utilities are beginning to outperform, which he flags as a classic equities warning. He sees short-term fear creating tactical buying opportunities in gold/silver but notes the equities gap-down may get bought back up. The week's wildcard: potential new Fed chair pick Wednesday.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues silver is in a late-stage, momentum-driven blowoff phase, not the start of a long new leg. He thinks $100 silver is close, but that strength is increasingly dangerous because sentiment, retail participation, and leveraged ETF volume are flashing classic top-of-cycle signals.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen and Lynette Zang discuss silver's technical setup as it approaches $100+. Vermeulen sees a near-term blow-off top forming — his measured-move target is $106, possibly extending to $120-130 in a feeding frenzy, followed by a sharp 50%+ correction back to $45-60s. The key technical condition is whether silver holds a 50% Fibonacci retracement; if so, it targets $117 then $151. Lynette Zang focuses on the gold-to-silver ratio testing the 50-to-1 level — a break below signals silver outperformance toward 20-to-1; a bounce above signals gold leadership toward 100-to-1. Both caution against buying physical metal at these levels and emphasize distinguishing between trading (charts/paper) and strategy (long-term physical accumulation).
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues the market is late-cycle and close to a major inflection: he expects a short-term stock-market dip to be bought, but sees weeks-to-months risk of a broader equity top, a metals blowoff peak, and weakness in Bitcoin.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen analyzes silver's explosive rally, identifying a near-term Fibonacci target of ~$106 (another ~16% upside) before expecting a multi-month pause or correction. He plans to trim silver positions into strength above $100, warns that parabolic moves often precede 50-70% pullbacks, and advocates active trend-following with defined exit plans across gold, silver, and platinum. Gold target ~$5,170-$5,200; platinum target ~$3,060. He prefers gold for consistency, owns mostly physical silver, and ranks gold first, silver second, platinum third.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues silver is in a powerful breakout phase and may have one more emotional push toward $106 before a likely pause or consolidation. He remains bullish on gold and sees platinum as the next-best metal, while still preferring equities short term and cash later if markets top.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen presents a strongly bullish precious metals thesis, with silver (recently hitting $95) and gold in what he calls a "screaming bull market." He identifies a $106/oz silver target using Fibonacci projections and $5,100-$5,200 gold target. He sees current extreme volatility as characteristic of a late-cycle euphoric/parabolic phase rather than an imminent top. He ties the metals surge to a broader equity market topping process, citing the Benner cycle pointing to a 2026 peak followed by weakness into 2032. He favors physical metals (Sprott PHYS) over miners but notes miners (GDX, SILJ) are primed for breakout. The transcript is an interview with narration interludes.
Preview:Chris and Peter discuss a powerful rally in precious metals, with gold breaking to new all-time highs (+2.6%) and silver surging +7.5% to new highs. They frame this as a parabolic blowoff phase driven by dedollarization, inflation, and expectations of highly accommodative Fed policy under Trump. Peter argues the GSE order to buy $200B in MBS is stealth QE that will be inflationary. Silver's upside target is $106. They are bullish gold, silver, miners (especially juniors), and commodities broadly, while bearish on bonds and cautious on oil. Peter promotes his EPGIX gold fund.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues silver is in a powerful momentum phase and could make one last parabolic push, potentially toward $100 and then a Fibonacci target near $106/oz, while gold remains on track for roughly $5,100–$5,200. He frames the recent volatility as mostly margin-driven and news-driven, not a trend break, and says the bigger story is capital rotating into metals while equities have gone sideways.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues precious metals are entering the late-stage "blowoff" parabolic phase of a multi-year bull run, with gold targeting $5,100–$5,200 and silver targeting $106. He frames this as a FOMO-driven, emotionally charged final leg that will ultimately end with a sharp correction. Meanwhile, equities remain in an uptrend (ride until they break), the dollar is pulling back from resistance (near-term tailwind for metals), oil looks vulnerable to a breakdown ahead of economic slowing, and bonds remain in a bearish no-man's-land. He presents no fundamental thesis beyond technical pattern recognition and vague geopolitical unease.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues precious metals are in a powerful late-cycle breakout, with silver the clearest momentum leader and a possible near-term upside target around $106/oz. Gold remains bullish too, with a stated next target of roughly $5,100–$5,200/oz, while miners lag but may be setting up for a catch-up move if gold/silver continue higher.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen reviews markets with a cautious, technically-driven approach. He sees equities in a short-term bounce from oversold/panic conditions but awaiting Friday's Supreme Court tariff ruling as a catalyst. Precious metals (gold, silver, platinum, palladium) are in a post-rally digestion/consolidation phase — healthy but directionless for now. Copper is at all-time highs but he views it as frothy and sentiment-driven, warning against chasing it. Bonds are in a stage-one base with no clear direction. Overall, the trend is still up but the market is coiling for a potentially large move either way.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen lays out a multi-asset technical outlook for early January 2026. He sees silver as the most explosive metal, with conservative Fibonacci targets of $95–$106 if the current consolidation resolves upward. Gold is rallying alongside a strengthening US dollar — a cross-market signal he views as structurally bullish for precious metals. Bitcoin sits in a bearish short-term pattern but at a longer-term cycle low, creating a binary setup. Bonds are attempting to bottom in a pattern mirroring the dollar. He also discusses REITs as a future opportunity after a potential 20–40% housing correction, and urges patience rather than chasing moves.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen presents a technical-analysis-driven market scan covering silver, gold, equities, the US dollar, oil, Bitcoin, REITs, and bonds. The core thesis is that silver is entering a potential explosive bubble phase with technical targets as high as $95–$106 if momentum catches, while gold and silver are rallying even as the dollar strengthens — an unusual bullish divergence. He cautions against chasing platinum/palladium, views Bitcoin as bearish short-term but near a longer-term cycle low, and sees bonds and REITs forming long-term bottoms that will eventually become opportunities. The overarching message is patience: wait for confirmation, don't predict bottoms, and trade what you understand.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen presents a late-cycle thesis: the S&P 500 and NASDAQ have short-term upside (3-6%) via Fibonacci projections, gold targets $5,100-5,200 before a major correction, and the Benner cycle points to a 2026 market top. Silver is in a volatile post-target consolidation with a still-bullish pattern. He sees a coming crash across equities, real estate, and gold — after which miners will deliver "thousands of percent" returns, echoing 2008-2009. The dollar bottoming and sector rotation are key confirming signals.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen presents a technical analysis outlook for early 2026, arguing that equities remain in an uptrend despite increased volatility, silver is consolidating in a bullish pattern that could target $100/oz, crude oil is headed toward $45/barrel, and the US dollar is forming a significant bottom that could rally 15%+ — which would pressure gold, silver, and other precious metals sharply lower, echoing historical patterns from 2008 and 2020-2022.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen sees precious metals in a late-stage explosive phase: trends are still up but extreme volatility and margin hikes signal a blowoff top is approaching. He expects gold to reach $5,100–5,200 and silver potentially above $100 short-term, followed by a sharp 20–35% correction in 2026. Longer-term he remains structurally bullish, seeing the pullback as a major buying opportunity. He advises riding the trend with a finger on the trigger, not blindly holding.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues precious metals and equities are approaching a major cyclical top, with volatile price action in silver, platinum, and palladium signaling exhaustion. He draws parallels to the 2007-2008 cycle, warns that the Magnificent 7 are propping up equities while institutional selling builds beneath the surface, and urges risk management and cash positioning ahead of what he expects to be a significant correction across most assets in 2026.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen delivers a technical market update focused on precious metals after a violent sell-off triggered by COMEX margin hikes. Silver dropped ~10%, platinum/palladium ~20%, with sharp reversals from overnight highs. He sees these megaphone/broadening formations as late-cycle shakeouts that often precede turning points. Gold retains a structurally bullish chart targeting $5,200, but silver, platinum, and palladium may have made significant highs for months. Bitcoin's tight sideways range warns of a potential breakdown to ~$48,000. Crude oil weakness signals economic slowing, copper looks overextended, yet the S&P 500 trend remains up. He advises sticking with the equity uptrend while letting commodity patterns mature.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen presents a tactical warning on precious metals: gold and silver are in a late-stage parabolic blowoff phase with rising volatility, margin hikes, and bearish engulfing candles signaling an impending sharp correction in 2026. He sees gold reaching $5,100–$5,200 in the next month or two before a 20–35% pullback, with silver potentially spiking past $100 in an emotional FOMO-driven move before reversing. Long-term he remains bullish — the correction will set the stage for a multi-year rally toward $7,500+ gold — but near-term he advocates taking profits, exiting physical positions, and waiting for the reset, especially in miners.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues that silver, gold, and the broader precious-metals complex are still in a powerful uptrend but are now showing late-cycle volatility, exhaustion, and blowoff-top behavior. He thinks silver can still spike past $100 and gold can reach about $5,100-$5,200 in the near term, but he expects a sharp correction in 2026 and says he may trim or liquidate metals into that strength.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen is broadly bullish on gold long-term, but near term he thinks precious metals may be close to a cyclical top after a sharp, sentiment-driven blowoff. His core message is to respect price action: he expects a volatile 2026, sees equities still in an uptrend for now, but wants to rotate defensively if stock leadership breaks and the precious-metals reversal persists.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues that precious metals are in a late-stage, frothy blowoff phase: still technically bullish, but vulnerable to a sharp 2026 correction after extreme volatility in silver, gold, platinum, and miners. He also thinks U.S. equities are in a topping phase, Bitcoin is weak and may break lower, the dollar and bonds are trying to bottom, and the Magnificent 7 could be the most vulnerable large asset cluster if the market rolls over.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen presents a bearish macro outlook heading into 2026, anchored on the Benner cycle topping pattern. He argues equities are in a stage-three topping phase with Magnificent 7 masking broad weakness, comparable to 2007. Precious metals — especially silver and platinum — are showing bubble-like 11-15% daily swings that signal an approaching peak, even as gold remains steadier. He warns of a coming broad sell-off across equities, real estate, bitcoin, and energy, framing it as a life-changing opportunity for those positioned defensively. The video is structured as a rapid market scan across equities, gold, silver, platinum, bitcoin, crude oil, and housing, interspersed with heavy promotion of his ACS subscription strategy.
Preview:Chris and Rick discuss the precious metals bull market, emphasizing that gold is a "must own" asset as fiat currencies deteriorate. They argue markets need one more euphoric phase before a sharp pullback — which they are waiting for as a selling signal. Silver remains a hold with more upside expected. Platinum's resurgence signals a mature bullish phase where metals become trades rather than accumulation targets. Rick makes a detailed case for gold's evolving dual role as both store of value and medium of exchange via digital gold tokens. Storage risks and solutions (SPROTT PHYSICAL Trust, Brinks vaulting, safe deposit boxes) are discussed at length.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen presents a technical analysis view that precious metals are in the late stages of a mature rally. Gold targets ~$5,100-5,200 near-term (an 18.5% move), but he expects a 25-35% correction to ~$3,400 before a super-cycle rally toward $7,400-7,500. Silver has already broken out, targeting $68-72 short-term, potentially $80s in a blowoff, then a 30-40% retracement that should hold above $50 — a structural floor decades in the making. He sees rotation into silver and miners as a classic late-cycle signal, warns that mainstream enthusiasm is a contrarian indicator, and frames the coming pullback as an epic reloading opportunity for a multi-year bull run.
Preview:A conversation between two market analysts — Peter Schiff and Chris Vermeulen — covering the precious metals breakout, gold/silver/platinum/palladium strength, Bitcoin's relative weakness, equity market seasonality, and the risk of premature profit-taking in a secular bull market. Schiff emphasizes that mainstream media ignores gold while pandering to crypto advertisers; Vermeulen warns that euphoric crowding into silver and miners signals a later-cycle phase, though not necessarily a top. Both agree the bull market has further to run but caution against emotional positioning.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen lays out a technical/super-cycle thesis for precious metals: gold is approaching a blowoff top around $5,100-5,200 (+18.5%), after which he expects a 25-35% correction before a multi-year run to $7,400+. Silver is in a late-cycle outperformance phase with targets in the $68-80 range, but he warns of a subsequent pullback of 30-60%. He frames the current moment as a mature rally where broad participation (miners, platinum, palladium) signals late-stage euphoria building. Oil weakness ($45 target) is flagged as a leading indicator of economic slowdown. His stance: metals are a trade now, not a long-term accumulation — get the last squeeze, then prepare for a significant correction that will create an epic re-entry opportunity.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen discusses precious metals and equities in late December 2025, noting gold breaking out, silver hitting a 20% target, and platinum surging ~10%. He warns that the current "feeding frenzy" into faster-moving metals (silver, platinum, palladium, miners) mirrors the 2011 topping pattern where speculative assets peaked months before gold. He frames this as a sentiment warning — not an immediate top call — and urges position management. Bitcoin is called out as "floundering" with a bearish chart. Equities are attempting a year-end holiday rally.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen presents a bullish near-term outlook for precious metals, particularly silver, arguing we're in a "feeding frenzy" final blowoff phase. He sees equities grinding higher on central bank liquidity support but warns the simultaneous rally in stocks and metals signals underlying fragility. Silver is framed as a tactical trade (1-2 months upside), with a historical pattern of topping before gold. Oil remains bearish with $55 breakdown risk. Bitcoin is increasingly correlated with equities as a risk-on asset.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen analyzes current markets with a focus on precious metals, equities, and sentiment. Gold is consolidating below resistance and he sees it "building energy" for a breakout, potentially becoming the next leader as silver and platinum have already broken higher. Silver continues a strong stairstep rally with $68 as the next Fibonacci target. On equities, he views the recent tech-led selloff as constructive capitulation — the fact that people are giving up on the holiday rally is, counterintuitively, a bullish sign. Bitcoin remains in a downtrend he doesn't like. Oil may bounce but he expects a continued move toward the mid-$40s. The dollar is testing a key support bounce. His overall tone: cautiously bullish on precious metals and equities, bearish on bonds and energy, mixed on crypto.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues silver is in a late-stage blow-off phase, with near-term upside still possible toward the high-$60s, low-$70s and maybe the $80s, but with a meaningful chance of a sharp pullback once sentiment peaks. He pairs that with a constructive but more cautious view on gold, which he thinks can still rally toward roughly $5,100–$5,200 before a larger correction, and ultimately even higher later.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen and Gareth Soloway present a structurally bullish case for gold and silver, arguing that multi-year consolidations have resolved into a new super cycle. Vermeulen targets gold at ~$5,175 then a 30-35% pullback to ~$3,400 before a run to $7,500+. Soloway targets gold $5,000+ by Q1 2026 if all-time highs break, with silver potentially testing $80. Both warn of a coming equity bear market analogous to 2000/2008, where a stock selloff initially drives a rotation into precious metals—but then even metals sell off hard once recession hits. Short-term: neutral-to-upside bias into year-end on retail flow, with institutional money on holiday.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen walks through current market action, highlighting a sharp rotation out of stocks into precious metals — especially silver, which surged nearly 5%. He sees the S&P 500 at a critical support zone and warns that Magnificent 7 leaders are fracturing, with Nvidia at risk of becoming "the most hated" in 2026. Gold miners lag physical metals, crude oil looks destined for the $40s, Bitcoin's broadening pattern signals distribution, and regional banks show surprising strength near resistance. The overarching thesis: crowded trades are unwinding, and tangible assets are attracting the flows that equities are losing.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen delivers a technical-market walkthrough covering precious metals, energy, and equities. He sees gold and silver breaking out bullishly with silver up ~4% on the day, platinum and palladium joining the rally, and miners (GDX, SILJ) confirming. Crude oil sits at a critical $55 support — a definitive breakdown could send it to $40–45. Natural gas is just an oversold dead-cat bounce. Equities saw panic selling with oversold extremes that historically precede reflexive rallies; he sees ~5% upside into year-end on the S&P 500. On a longer horizon, he flags a structural warning: weekly S&P 500 patterns resemble pre-crash setups, and no government will be able to stop synchronized global selling when it arrives.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen presents a late-cycle market thesis: equities are in a "stage three topping phase" approaching a major financial reset. Precious metals are the standout performers, with silver in a momentum-driven breakout while gold consolidates. He attributes Friday's sharp sell-off in gold and silver to CME margin requirement increases forcing leveraged traders to liquidate, not a fundamental shift. Silver targets $68 then $72; gold targets $5,100-$5,200 near-term with a longer-term $7,400 after a 30%+ correction. He warns miners will underperform as the stock market rolls over. Equities are in a normal bull-market shakeout pattern — he expects the S&P and QQQ to flush stops, find an oversold bounce, and resume higher.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen presents a late-cycle macro thesis: the stock market is nearing a major top, evidenced by leadership from industrial capital goods, energy (XLE), and precious metals — a classic late-stage sector rotation. Within precious metals, he argues gold is the safer, steadier play; silver is a higher-beta momentum trade that typically tops 6 months before gold; and gold miners are a trap — equities that get dragged down when the broader market sells off despite rising metal prices. He explains Friday's gold/silver selloff as a mechanical margin-hike event by the CME, not manipulation. His core message: know when to sell, don't marry your positions, and prepare for a coming financial reset.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen discusses a late-cycle precious metals setup where gold's rally has pulled capital into silver, which he sees as a sign the PM trade is maturing. He applies Samuel Benner's 19th-century cycle framework to warn of a major market top window starting in 2026, potentially extending into 2027 with a bear market lasting to 2032. He expects a near-term divergence where stocks crack and metals surge — gold +15-20%, silver +40-60% — before a broader liquidation event pulls everything down. Bitcoin is analyzed bearishly within a downtrend, and he advises against hedging or pair trades. The interview covers silver's heightened volatility, the 3-4 day emotional selling pattern, and the structural parallels to 2007.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen delivers a technical and cyclical analysis across equities, bonds, currencies, commodities, and crypto. His core thesis: markets are approaching a major cycle high in 2026, with precious metals — especially silver and silver miners — in a confirmed breakout. He sees an Oracle-driven AI shakeout as the exact stop-run the market needed, views Bitcoin as in a dangerous downtrend, and warns that a multi-year difficult period (2026–2032) is coming. Silver miners (SILJ) get the strongest bullish call with ~16% upside to $30.58; GDX targets ~$90.67.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues silver’s recent strength is mostly a momentum-and-crowding story: silver is the fastest, most levered way for traders to express a precious-metals view, so money is rotating out of slower gold and into silver. He thinks that can still extend higher, but the recent 4%–5% down days are a warning that the trade is getting more emotional and more mature, not safer.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues that the current selloff is a tactical pullback inside a still-intact uptrend, not a confirmed trend break. He expects year-end weakness to be bought, but thinks 2026 could become a much bigger inflection point: strong upside for precious metals, especially silver, alongside rising turmoil or a major reset risk in equities and Bitcoin.
Preview:Lynette Zang and Chris Vermeulen present a bearish macro thesis: global sovereign bond markets are a "dam built on promises" that is cracking under rising deficits and inflation. They argue the US 10-year Treasury is leading a bond sell-off, which will cascade into currencies and equities. Their prescription is to hold physical gold and silver as "sound money" ahead of what Zang calls inevitable hyperinflation. Vermeulen adds technical analysis showing gold miners and silver forming bullish patterns (cup-and-handle, bull flags, Fibonacci targets) with potential upside of 13-31%. The transcript is heavy on apocalyptic rhetoric and light on verifiable near-term catalysts.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen presents a deeply bullish technical analysis of gold and silver, arguing both are in powerful uptrends with silver poised for an imminent explosive breakout to $64-$69/oz and gold targeting $5,175-$5,200/oz. He frames precious metals as being in a "runaway trend" where the only strategy is to ride momentum until multiple timeframes prove otherwise, with seasonal tailwinds and potential equity-to-metals rotation as catalysts.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen presents a strongly bullish technical analysis of silver, gold, and miners, arguing that all are in multi-timeframe uptrends with silver showing the most explosive near-term potential. He identifies a high-momentum bull flag in silver with a target of $68-$69, a move that could play out within 2-3 trading sessions. Gold is flagged toward ~$5,175-$5,200 (another ~20% leg), while miners show 13-30% upside. Seasonality, momentum patterns, and potential equity rotation into precious metals all support the bullish case. The core message: trust the trend, ignore news/emotions, and let price confirm exits.
Preview:Gary Wagner and Chris Vermeulen discuss gold and silver's recent breakout, with both analysts firmly bullish heading into year-end 2025 and early 2026. Silver has surged from ~$48 in late November to ~$61.50 and shows a bull flag targeting $64 then $68-69 in the near term. Gold's measured move points to ~$5,175 (≈22% upside), with strong support at $3,900-$4,000 and resistance at $4,400. The anticipated Fed rate cut (84-87% probability) is mostly priced in; forward guidance on future cuts matters more. Both see a structural regime shift favoring precious metals, with silver's smaller market cap enabling faster, more explosive moves than gold.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen delivers a tactical market scan covering precious metals, equities, crypto, bonds, and commodities. His core thesis: gold, silver, platinum, and palladium are coiling in tight bull flag patterns on light volume — suggesting a violent breakout to the upside is imminent, with silver potentially surging to $68 in 3-5 days. Bitcoin, by contrast, is in a dangerous bearish continuation pattern that could revisit $60K. He flags unusual institutional accumulation in Nvidia and a rotation out of utilities/dividend stocks into mega-cap tech and micro-caps — a risk-on, speculative positioning shift consistent with year-end seasonality. Natural gas is in blowoff-topping mode, crude is testing support, and bonds remain in a long-term downtrend with no clear signal.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues that precious metals are still in a strong uptrend, with silver leading and gold lagging but not breaking down. He sees a near-term breakout setup in silver toward $64 first and then roughly $68–$69, while gold points to about $5,200 and miners also look constructive but less explosive than silver.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen provides a multi-asset technical analysis walk-through, covering the Magnificent 7 stocks, bonds, the dollar, gold, silver, Bitcoin, crude oil, and energy equities. His core thesis: gold and silver are breaking out, signaling rising fear and a potential major stock market top; crude oil is heading toward $45/barrel; Bitcoin remains in a downtrend. He urges patience, letting multi-month cycles unfold before committing to trades, and cautions against premature inverse-ETF positioning.
Preview:The video is a bullish, high-conviction precious-metals interview framed around gold and especially silver breaking out while equities, Bitcoin, and crude oil look weaker. Rafi Farber argues gold and silver are not just hedges but the real monetary base, and Chris Vermeulen adds a chart-based case that gold could reach $5,100–$5,200 and silver could run toward $62, $72, and possibly $80 if the breakout continues.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen lays out a macro thesis that equities are approaching a major cycle top comparable to 2000 and 2007, with a crash of 40-60% likely. He expects an initial flight to safety into gold, silver, miners, and platinum that could push gold up ~30% (to ~$5,200) and silver to ~$80-82 — but he frames this as a temporary trade, not a long-term hold. After the precious metals surge, he plans to sell his physical metals and rotate into high-yield dividend ETFs and real estate at the cycle bottom. His overarching message: preserve capital, be patient, and wait for the reset.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen presents a technical analysis of gold and silver, arguing precious metals are in a late-stage bull phase with one more parabolic push higher over 1-3 months before a sharp "financial reset" correction. He targets gold at $4,700-$5,200 and silver at $60-$80, dismisses the multi-decade cup-and-handle pattern on silver as wishful thinking, and advises traders to ride the final wave up before pulling the chute. Post-reset, he sees a multi-year gold bull market where junior miners will explode, but near-term he's bearish on oil (targeting mid-$40s/$30s), copper, and uranium — all viewed as frothy ahead of the reset.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen presents a cautious technical analysis across equities, precious metals, energy, and crypto. He sees the S&P 500 in a downtrend with lower highs/lower lows despite recent bounces, warns against bottom-fishing in Bitcoin and Ethereum, and views gold/silver as consolidating bullishly. He is skeptical of an oil bull flag and flags Nvidia as a potential market-wide risk. The overall tone is "wait for confirmation, don't chase."
Preview:Francis Hunt presents his "HVF" (high-volume-formation) methodology for silver, calling a generational breakout from a 50-year horizontal range with targets at $90, then $333, and eventually single-digit gold/silver ratio. Chris Vermeulen adds Fibonacci projections for gold toward $4,700–$5,200 and sees silver potentially hitting $60–$80 in 1–3 months, though he is skeptical of the "cup and handle" pattern targeting $150–$200. Both expect an equity market sell-off to drive capital rotation into precious metals, with Vermeulen anticipating a sharp gold pullback after the next rally before miners truly come to life. A secondary trade is the USD/KRW breakout as a Korean won collapse play tied to AI-led KOSPI fragility.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues gold looks technically strong and may have one more explosive leg higher into roughly $4,600-$4,700 first and then $5,100-$5,200, but he expects that move to be tied to, and likely capped by, a broader stock-market selloff. He is also constructive on the U.S. dollar and cautious on stocks and Bitcoin, framing the current setup as a defensive, trend-following environment where cash, the dollar, and possibly bonds matter more than trying to catch bottoms.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen lays out a bearish near-term equity outlook with a potential head-and-shoulders top forming on the S&P 500, while remaining structurally bullish on gold with targets of $4,700–$5,200. He sees Bitcoin as emotionally driven and precarious, dependent on stock market direction, and argues for a multi-dimensional technical approach combining price, time cycles, and sentiment flows rather than pure price-chart trading.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen presents a bullish precious metals thesis: gold and silver are consolidating before a large move higher, with gold potentially reaching $5,100-$5,200 and silver possibly hitting $63-$80+. He argues we're near an inflection where stocks sell off and capital rotates into metals, mirroring a prior cycle where gold surged ~30% as equities dropped ~19%. He's bearish on Bitcoin, crypto-linked stocks (MicroStrategy), and prefers physical bullion over miners, which he says get dragged down during equity selloffs. The tone is technical, sentiment-driven, and includes a strong anti-Bitcoin personal bias.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen presents a bearish equity outlook with a bullish precious metals thesis, arguing the S&P 500 is in a downtrend marked by lower highs/lower lows and that a head-and-shoulders breakdown could trigger a further 6% decline. He sees gold and silver consolidating bull flags, poised for a major upside breakout when capital rotates out of stocks — targeting $5,100–$5,200 gold and silver in the $63–$71+ range. He is bearish on NVIDIA (potential 7–11% decline), skeptical of miners during equity selloffs, and advocates physical metals over mining stocks. The interview covers FOMO/panic-selling indicator mechanics, the "staircase up, elevator down" nature of crowded trades, and the case for patience on the sidelines.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues the market is already in a risk-off rotation, but that the bigger unwind is still ahead. He says the S&P 500 and Nasdaq are only bouncing inside a short-term downtrend, Bitcoin is breaking down toward critical support, and gold may still have one more upside leg if stocks roll over and capital rotates into metals. His preferred stance is defensive: sit in cash, hold some USD, and wait for clearer signals rather than buy dips.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues the market is at a fragile, late-cycle inflection point: broad U.S. equities, especially AI-led megacaps, look increasingly unhealthy and could be close to a 5-15% pullback or even a larger 20%+ correction. He expects weakness in the Nasdaq/S&P to rotate money into gold and silver, while remaining skeptical of Bitcoin, leveraged crypto proxies, bonds, and crowded retail-friendly trades.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen presents a bearish equity thesis paired with a bullish precious metals outlook. He argues the S&P 500 is on the cusp of a downtrend, with narrowing breadth and faltering small caps, and predicts a 10-20% pullback that could accelerate into January. He draws explicit parallels to 2007-2008, expecting capital to rotate from stocks into gold and silver, with gold potentially reaching ~$5,100 and silver ~$80+. However, he also flags an eventual sharp dollar rally that could reverse the metals trade, and warns silver could see 50-60% corrections after parabolic moves. The core message: have a game plan for both the opportunity and the inevitable reversal.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen, interviewed by Ivan on The Silver Market channel, argues precious metals are in a long-term super cycle with gold targeting ~$5,100/oz and a potential 30%+ further upside. He warns economic data is deteriorating, equities are fragile (propped up by Mag 7), and a financial reset/crash is coming — though timing is uncertain. His core message: preserve capital by stepping aside when trends break, rotate into cash/USD during the crash, then redeploy into deeply discounted assets (REITs, miners, uranium, equities). He claims current precious metals price action mirrors 2007-2008 pre-crash patterns, forecasting another 60%+ move in silver/platinum/palladium before an eventual liquidation event.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen presents a bearish macro thesis: the S&P 500 is on the cusp of a major top, equities could break down within weeks, and a January crash is plausible. Precious metals (gold, silver) have one more strong push higher—modeled on the 2007-2008 analog—potentially taking gold to ~$5,100 and silver near $82 before they too top. The dollar is building a base for a sharp rally that would pressure commodities. Oil is in a sustained downtrend toward $45. The overall message: get mentally prepared, have a game plan, and favor metals over equities in the near term.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen presents a bullish but disciplined thesis on gold and silver: gold targets $5,100–$5,200 using Fibonacci extensions, while silver's conservative targets are $56–$63. He warns that the October FOMO blowoff was a sentiment extreme that needed to shake out weak hands, and that parabolic moves inevitably end in sharp corrections. Vermeulen emphasizes risk management, hitting singles rather than swinging for home runs, and using Fibonacci as his primary tool. He candidly shares his own history of blowing up accounts as a cautionary lesson.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen presents a bearish macro thesis centered on the concurrent rally in gold and equities (led by a narrow set of mega-cap tech stocks), drawing a direct parallel to the 2007-2008 market top. He argues that gold's surge alongside the S&P 500 is a major red flag signaling institutional distrust of the financial system, and that precious metals (gold, silver, platinum, palladium, miners) are poised for a significant move higher just before equities roll over into a multi-year correction. He positions himself as a "defensive driver" — long equities for now but preparing for a life-changing market reset.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues gold is in a bull market phase and the S&P 500 is in a "stage three topping phase," with the Magnificent 7 doing most of the heavy lifting. He draws a 2007-style analog: gold pulls back briefly while equities top, then gold surges ~30% to $4,700–$5,200 as the stock market eventually rolls over. Silver, platinum are also bullish but choppier; miners are more vulnerable due to equity exposure. Bitcoin gets a bearish call — an "ugly" megaphone pattern with no clarity. The overarching thesis: a financial reset is coming, gold is warning, and the AI bubble will be the pin.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues the market is approaching a major inflection point: equities, especially the Magnificent 7 and AI-linked names, are frothy and could unwind sharply, while gold, silver, platinum, and palladium are flashing a warning signal similar to prior major tops. He remains tactical—stay long until the trend breaks, then move to cash or inverse ETFs—and he is also bullish on the USD and cautious on Bitcoin.
Preview:Mike Maloney and Chris Vermeulen lay out a hyper-bullish thesis for precious metals, arguing gold could reach $5,100–$10,000 and silver above $200 in a structural super-cycle. Maloney emphasizes that 18× more people with 80× more fiat currency are now chasing a gold supply only 2× larger than in 1980, while mainstream banks are recommending 20% gold allocations. Vermeulen adds technical confirmation (gold measured move to $5,100), notes broad inflows across the entire mining complex, and warns a financial reset is coming — advocating a strategy of riding metals higher, then rotating to cash and eventually distressed REITs/uranium.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen of TheTechnicalTraders.com presents a strongly bullish gold thesis, calling for $4,700–$5,200/oz by year-end (a ~25–30% rally from current levels). He frames the recent pullback below $4,000 as a healthy three-wave correction within a secular bull market, drawing a structural analogy to the 2007–2008 setup where gold rallied as equities topped. He sees a "financial reset" approaching, with gold and silver as the cleanest plays and Bitcoin as an unappealing, high-risk chart to avoid.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues gold and silver have just finished a sharp FOMO-driven pause and are likely to resume higher after more short-term volatility. He sees a possible stock-market top, a fragile financial system, and a stronger dollar later as part of a larger setup that could eventually produce much higher precious-metal prices, even if there is another pullback first.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen of TheTechnicalTraders.com joins Craig Hemke on Sprott Money to assess the sharp pullback in precious metals after gold's parabolic run to $4,400 and subsequent retreat below $4,000. Vermeulen sees the selloff as an emotional washout — a buying opportunity — with Fibonacci targets pointing to $4,680 and eventually $5,100–$5,200 for gold. He draws a 2008 analog where equities roll over, money rotates into metals, and silver, platinum, and miners deliver large percentage rallies. Near-term caution (November seasonality, continued miner weakness) is paired with a call to hold through mid-November, after which seasonal tailwinds and sentiment reset should fuel the next leg higher.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues the current selloff is a normal, sentiment-driven pullback inside an ongoing uptrend, not the start of a major crash. He thinks panic selling, weak jobs data, and bearish headlines from large banks are combining to trigger a short-term washout, while gold, silver, and to a lesser extent equities may rebound after the fear clears.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues gold, silver, and miners are in a parabolic, crowded phase that could still have another leg higher, but a sharp 2007-style violent pullback is increasingly likely first. He is much more cautious on stocks, bitcoin, and real estate, and says cash may be the best near-term parking place while he waits for clearer chart setups.
Preview:Charlotte Mloud interviews Christopher Muan about gold, silver, platinum, palladium, and the stock market. Muan’s core view is that gold’s parabolic strength is a warning sign that equities are near a major correction, while precious metals may still have a bit more upside before they too become crowded and vulnerable to a sharp pullback. He says the right response is to scale out, raise stops, and move to cash on the equity side.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues the tape is near a major top in stocks, while precious metals are in a late-stage, crowded blow-off. He thinks the dollar may firm, equities may roll over on bad news, and gold/silver could still make one final push before a sharp correction.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen sees precious metals in a "perfect storm" — gold breaking a super-cycle, silver nearing all-time highs, and miners/platinum/palladium all surging. Short-term, he warns the space is frothy and at Fibonacci resistance; a pullback to $42-44 silver and a pause in gold are likely. Longer-term he remains very bullish, with silver potentially reaching $80+ and gold capable of another 10-15% upside. He flags retail FOMO, euphoric sentiment, and defensive big-money positioning as cautionary signals while emphasizing the secular bull trend remains intact.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen, chief market strategist at TheTechnicalTraders.com, argues markets are in a late-stage euphoric blowoff, with gold, silver, miners, and Bitcoin all rallying simultaneously — a pattern he compares to 2007 before the financial crisis. He believes the stock market is days to weeks from a major top, while precious metals and miners have roughly 6-8 more weeks of upside before a significant reversal. He advises against chasing right now, recommending patience for a consolidation or pullback before any new entry.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen (The Technical Traders) joins host Craig Hempe on Sprott Money's monthly precious metals update. The core message: gold, silver, Bitcoin, uranium stocks, and US equities are all in strong uptrends with more upside likely, but parabolic moves are flashing warning signs of eventual reversals. Gold targets ~$4,100, silver is gunning for all-time highs (~$49-50) with a longer-term potential of ~$85. Bitcoin targets $135K-$160K. Vermeulen repeatedly warns that euphoric, vertical moves tend to give back a large chunk of gains, and urges risk management via trailing stops rather than trying to pick tops.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues that the market is still in an uptrend but is short-term crowded and vulnerable to a pullback. He is most constructive on gold and gold miners, which he thinks still have more upside than equities, while Bitcoin looks weak and the broad stock market is running into resistance.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues that stocks are still in an uptrend but are getting frothy and internally weaker, while precious metals remain the cleaner momentum trade. He thinks money is rotating between gold, gold miners, silver miners, and silver in waves, and he sees that rotation as consistent with a late-cycle market where investors are seeking physical assets and defensive exposure.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues gold’s breakout is likely part of a larger trend that could extend toward $4,100–$4,500, with silver and miners still catching up. He thinks the market is front-running a Fed cut and that the bigger risk is not chasing tops in an otherwise strong uptrend.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen joins host Craig Hemke on Sprott Money's monthly Precious Metals Projections. Vermeulen presents a bullish technical thesis on gold and silver, highlighting a clean breakout above $3,500 gold with Fibonacci targets at ~$3,730 and ~$4,100. Silver targets ~$49. He argues miners are now leading — GDX and SILJ hitting multi-year/all-time highs — which historically confirms a strong physical metals rally ahead. He frames this against an equity market topping phase, with the Magnificent 7 showing potential head-and-shoulders patterns and broad selling. He advises using Fibonacci extensions to navigate uncharted all-time-high territory rather than buy-and-hold, and notes gold/silver could overshoot targets if equities capitulate. Short-term caution: the breakout needs a weekly close above resistance, and this week's jobs data/Fed announcement could cause volatility.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues the market is still in an uptrend, but he believes it is also inside a late-stage topping phase that could eventually flip into a sharp correction. He is bullish tactically, but structurally cautious: he wants to stay long while trends remain intact, yet keep an exit plan because he thinks a 50%+ crash is possible later this year or in a future stage-four reset.
Preview:The guest argues the market is being held up by the Magnificent 7 while broader internals weaken, making a 15%–25% correction or larger reset plausible if a catalyst hits. He is most constructive on gold, then silver and miners, and says investors should have a plan rather than try to predict the exact top.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen says the market is at a critical tipping point and he’s staying mostly on the sidelines until price action confirms either a renewed uptrend or a deeper rollover. He is bullish on select leaders like Nvidia, parts of the Magnificent 7, gold/miners, Bitcoin, and says oil looks weak; he also thinks the U.S. dollar may be bottoming and the 10-year yield chart points higher, which he ties to rising financial-stress risk.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues the market is at a technical inflection point: breadth is weak, utilities are outperforming, gold is near breakout, and the Magnificent Seven are masking underlying fragility. He prefers staying cautious on equities while positioning for a gold-led move, with silver and miners as secondary plays, and warns that higher yields could eventually pressure stocks and housing.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues the market is at a critical inflection point: stocks are still being held up by the Magnificent 7, but weak internals, tariff noise, and a gold breakout are warning that a larger correction could be forming. He says he is 100% in cash, wants to wait for confirmation next week, and is most bullish gold, with oil and energy looking weak and bonds/dollar potentially reversing higher.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen sees the stock market (S&P 500, NASDAQ) at a critical tipping point that mirrors 2007: a weak rally dragged by the Magnificent 7 with a trend sell signal already triggered, potentially setting up a 15-25% correction. Meanwhile gold is on the verge of a breakout with a measured-move target of ~$4,100 (and possibly much higher), supported by bullish seasonality from August onward. Miners (GDX) have already broken out as a leading signal, and gold itself awaits a close above its regular-trading-hours resistance to confirm the next leg. Silver and silver miners remain noisier and lagging but could catch up in a sector-wide precious metals run.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen of TheTechnicalTraders.com sees a trend change underway: the stock market (especially NASDAQ) is rolling over, and he expects gold to shoot higher in a pattern reminiscent of 2007-2008. He presents technical charts showing gold in a bull flag targeting $3,720 then $4,100, while the NASDAQ's trend reversal and sentiment indicator have turned deeply red. He favors physical gold and large-cap gold miners (GDX) over silver, platinum, or juniors. His core warning: any pullback could be the start of a major financial reset, and investors need a game plan to avoid being wiped out.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues the rally in U.S. stocks is rolling over into a topping process, while gold is becoming the preferred defensive trade. He says the most crowded names — especially the Nasdaq, semiconductors, and big-cap growth — are showing weakness, and he thinks gold could surge quickly, potentially toward 4,100, as capital rotates into hard assets and cash.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues markets are extended and vulnerable to a major reset, while still allowing for a near-term continuation in gold. He remains constructive on equities only tactically, but says the bigger 12-18 month setup is bearish across stocks, housing, and many risk assets if the current trend reverses.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues the market is still in a strong uptrend, but it is getting late enough that short-term traders should expect a pause or pullback soon. He remains constructive on gold and Bitcoin, cautious on bonds, and very skeptical of chasing platinum after its sharp run. His bigger message is that investors need a rules-based plan because sudden reversals can hit retirement accounts hard.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen of TheTechnicalTraders.com joins Elijah K. Johnson on Liberty and Finance to discuss precious metals, equities, and the dollar. His core thesis: gold and silver are forming bullish bull-flag continuation patterns with upside targets of ~$3,700 (near-term) and ~$4,100 for gold and ~$40.60 for silver, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq hitting all-time highs is sucking money out of metals temporarily but may reverse soon. He is cautious on platinum after its 40% run-up, calling the chart a "running correction" that could end violently. He warns that all-time highs in equities plus hated-dollar sentiment create a contrarian setup for a reversal, and urges investors to have a defense plan.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen presents a bullish technical outlook for equities near-term but warns of a 5-9% correction. He's structurally bullish on gold (target ~$4,100) and silver (target $38.70-$41) based on bull flag patterns, Fibonacci extensions, and seasonal tailwinds. He draws a 2007-2008 analogy where stocks made nominal new highs, then rolled over while gold surged. He prefers physical gold and silver over miners due to equity-market drag risk during corrections.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues the broad trend in US equities is still up, but the advance is getting increasingly crowded and euphoric. He prefers simply being long the indices (SPY/QQQ) over picking sectors, while warning that gold, silver, and possibly the dollar may be setting up for important moves as stocks eventually roll over.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues the market has shifted from a ‘dead cat bounce’ into a powerful rally that may still be a trap near all-time highs. He stays tactically long the major trend assets, but thinks the S&P 500 could still whipsaw: a short burst higher into new highs, then a sharp reversal if the move is mainly short covering and FOMO.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues the market is still in an uptrend, but sentiment and sector rotation are flashing a late-stage warning: investors are crowding into aggressive, high-beta names like silver miners, uranium, ARK ETFs, and small caps just as his technical work says the broader market is vulnerable to a rollover. He remains partially long, mostly in cash, and says the right move is to follow price rather than emotion while waiting for a confirmed break in trend.
Preview:Craig Hemke and Chris Vermeulen argue that gold, silver, and miners are set up for a summer rally while broad equities may be nearing a short-term push higher and then a rollover. Their core read is that a weakening dollar, bullish precious-metals price structure, and improving miner leadership all point to higher metals prices, but the same cross-asset behavior also looks like an early warning of a broader market top rather than a clean risk-on breakout.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen (TheTechnicalTraders.com) sees gold consolidating in a strong bull market with one more push to ~$3,750/oz, then warns of a significant correction (25-35% for gold, 25-50% for silver) over the next 3-12 months. He favors silver near-term for a pop to $37-38/oz. He's concerned equities may rally to new highs and trap over-eager dip-buyers before a sharp reversal. Long-term, he believes the next cycle after the coming correction will be "the perfect storm" for precious metals. The interview mixes near-term tactical views with a larger cyclical framework.
Preview:Technical analyst Chris Vermeulen warns of an impending "stage four financial reset" comparable to 2008, with the S&P 500 potentially falling 47-55%. He sees gold as the key barometer — it's currently in a blowoff phase, will get pulled down 34% during the crash (to ~$2,200), then launch toward $5,000-$12,000+. He advises cash positioning now, waiting for the reset, then loading up on gold/silver and eventually real estate. He argues dividend stocks are actually more volatile than the index and that retail investors are not yet in gold.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues the recent bond selloff is the start of a much larger regime shift: yields may keep rising, bond prices may keep falling, and that could pressure stocks, real estate, and traditional 60/40-style allocations. He frames the current equity rebound as a bear-market rally / dead-cat bounce, says gold and Bitcoin are acting as defensive alternatives, and warns that the next 12 months could bring a sharp, violent reset.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues the post-tariff rally is still a bear-market bounce, not a durable new bull market. He sees risk assets rotating higher and defensives like gold, utilities, and bonds weakening, but he thinks the move is likely to roll over after sucking traders back in. He is also notably bullish on Bitcoin near term, while warning that gold, gold miners, and dividend stocks may face larger drawdowns if equities sell off again.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen warns the stock market rally is a dead-cat bounce driven by retail FOMO while institutions distribute into strength. He sees a stage-4 financial reset within 1-3 months that will pull gold down ~34% and silver to the low $20s, creating a generational buying opportunity. He's raised cash, expects the dollar to rally, and advises capital preservation over new longs.
Preview:Technical analyst Chris Muan sees a classic dead-cat bounce in US equities — short-term bullish but a bear market signal has flashed on weekly charts, mirroring the 2007-08 top. Gold is in a parabolic, crowded FOMO phase with a near-term target of ~$3,750 but a sharp correction to $2,200-2,400 is likely within 6-12 months as a broader financial reset unfolds. Silver could spike to $38 but remains a volatile, difficult trade that will get hammered in liquidation events. The overarching thesis: we are entering a bear market phase that will eventually drag everything down, including precious metals.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argued the weak Q1 GDP print confirms a broader rollover in risk assets that he thinks was already telegraphed by price action, sentiment, and intermarket signals. He expects any near-term bounce in equities to be a complacency rally rather than a durable bottom, while viewing gold as stretched and Bitcoin as potentially constructive but unproven.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen says gold is still in a bull market but likely entering a blow-off/toping phase, with a near-term pullback possible before a much larger multi-month correction. He is bearish on the stock market and bonds, cautious on silver and miners until a reset, and sees cash and physical gold as the main current defenses, with Bitcoin as a possible tactical wildcard.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen (TheTechnicalTraders.com) argues that a bear market in equities has begun, with the S&P 500 having put in its top. He expects a multi-week to multi-month relief bounce, then a deeper sell-off lasting a year or two. He believes gold, silver, and miners are in a "blowoff phase" near resistance and due for a significant pullback — potentially as deep as $2,200 on gold — before the next sustained leg higher. He advises against chasing precious metals here and recommends waiting for a pullback or consolidation pattern before committing fresh capital.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues the recent market rebound is a bearish pause, not a durable bottom: he expects a larger equity selloff after a dead-cat bounce, with broad damage across stocks, real estate, Bitcoin, and possibly gold after its recent run. David Lin mostly presses him on whether the bounce is tradable, what the downside targets are, and how much safety remains in cash, bonds, or the dollar.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues the sudden tariff-driven selloff is likely a major market turning point, not just a routine dip. He says silver, gold, the S&P 500, and the Magnificent 7 are all reacting to broad panic liquidation, with downside targets and measured moves already being hit.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen says the tariff shock has turned a previously bullish setup into a bearish market regime, with a likely near-term washout followed by a bear-market bounce rather than a return to highs. He leans defensive: cash, bonds, and possibly the dollar, while warning that earnings, unemployment, and broader global growth could weaken further.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues the market has likely put in a major top, with equities losing momentum while gold and bonds attract flows. He sees a short-term oversold bounce in stocks, but believes the larger move is down and could evolve into a recessionary bear market. On gold, he says the long-term supercycle target has already been reached, but there is still a final 2.5%–4% upside leg before a larger correction later.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues the market is near a major top and likely entering a multi-year bear phase, with a short-term bounce still possible because conditions are oversold. He is bearish on equities, cautious on oil and energy stocks, constructive on bonds, and sees gold/commodities as relative havens for now but not immune if the selloff becomes severe.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues the stock market is already in a long topping process and that the recent selloff is likely the first leg of a broader decline, not a healthy reset. He sees weak breadth, leadership concentrated in a few mega-cap names, rising volatility, and a shift toward gold, energy, and eventually miners as classic late-cycle signals.
Preview:Chris Vermillion, founder of The Technical Traders, joins host Evan to discuss gold, silver, and equity markets. He's bullish on gold to ~$3,300/oz as a fear barometer, moderately bullish on silver to $36.50-$37 with more caution, and believes the S&P 500 has likely put in a major top with a bear market potentially starting within the next couple months. He sees tariffs adding uncertainty, consumer spending slowing, and earnings season as a key catalyst for downside.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues the market is only partway through a larger drawdown: he thinks the S&P 500 and Nasdaq are still headed lower in the near term, likely toward bear-market territory, before a multi-month bounce. He says the real risk comes after that rebound, when a deeper selloff could evolve into a financial crisis. He also stays constructive on gold long-term but thinks it is near a blowoff phase, is cautious on bonds though turning more positive, and is bearish on oil, real estate, and Bitcoin in the near term.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues the market has likely entered a downtrend and is nearing a short-term washout, but he expects any rebound to be a dead-cat bounce rather than a new bull leg. His broader view is that stocks, especially the Magnificent 7/Nasdaq, could still face a much deeper correction later this year, while cash is the best place to sit for now and bonds may become the cleaner trade after they base.
Preview:Chris Mulan (TheTechnicalTraders.com) joins Craig Hemy on Sprott Money's monthly precious metals projections. Chris sees the S&P 500 in a short-term downtrend with a panic washout likely to produce a near-term oversold bounce, while the NASDAQ is already more damaged. Gold is in a blowoff phase targeting ~$3,050 short-term, but he warns it's becoming a crowded trade with limited upside. He's cautious on silver and miners — gold is the safe haven while riskier assets could get sold. Oil is testing critical support and a breakdown would signal economic slowing and could benefit miners via lower energy costs. GDX shows a strong chart pattern with a measured move toward $44–47, though a falling stock market could cap upside.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen believes the S&P 500 may have put in a major top, with technical patterns resembling the 2007-2008 peak. He sees panic selling already underway, expects a short-term bounce from stop-loss runs, but warns a breakdown of the January 13th pivot low could trigger another 6-7% leg down. On gold, he remains bullish but thinks most of the measured move is done (~$2,950 target area), with a blowoff phase underway. He forecasts a stock market correction this year, gold and silver pulling back 15-25% and bottoming late 2025, followed by a multi-year gold rally past $5,000. He strongly advocates physical gold over ETFs or paper markets.
Preview:Technical analyst Chris Vermeulen sees equities on the cusp of a multi-year bear market, with the S&P 500 near a major top. He's bearish on energy and dividend stocks, predicts a gold pullback toward $2,400 before a late-2026 breakout to $3,500+, and expects silver to eventually reach $80-100+. He views physical gold as insurance, acknowledges market manipulation but says his longer-cycle technical approach sidesteps it, and advises accumulation of precious metals on any near-term weakness.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen, founder of The Technical Traders, sits down with host Ivan to discuss his outlook for gold, silver, and stocks in 2025. He expects a major stock market top and bear market within the next couple of months, led by the Magnificent Seven, which will trigger panic selling across all assets — including gold and silver. Gold could pull back to ~$2,400, presenting a final accumulation opportunity before a multi-year bull run (2026–2030) akin to post-2008. His safety play is cash in US dollars, and he promotes his book "Asset Reverses" as a guide to profiting during market resets.
Preview:Chris Vermeulen says equities and gold are still likely to push higher in the near term, but he remains bearish on a larger 2025 horizon and expects a major top followed by a bigger correction later.
