Gareth Soloway argues oil is topping despite geopolitical chaos, remains bearish with a key invalidation above $120, and sees lower targets toward $95, $85–$80, and eventually the $67 area. He is bullish short-term on Bitcoin breakout follow-through, while still viewing gold and silver as likely to fade once momentum traders are washed out.

Gareth Soloway opens by saying the video will deep dive into oil, with quick commentary on gold, silver, and Bitcoin. His main thesis is that oil is weakening despite weekend geopolitical escalation narratives and that the chart has already warned of downside. He points to a topping-tail candle after a push to about $120, says the current setup remains bearish as long as oil stays below that high, and identifies a daily close above $120 as the invalidation point. He also cites a parallel trend-line setup that has repeatedly respected price, and says support sits around $95 first, then $85–$80, and eventually a larger gap-fill area near $67. …
Tactically, oil looks vulnerable as long as it stays under $120 and fails to react to geopolitical headlines; Bitcoin has the cleanest near-term upside trigger if breakout confirmation holds.
Over the next several weeks, oil is likely to drift lower if the topping pattern remains valid, while Bitcoin could squeeze higher toward the mid-$70k area and possibly beyond if bearish positioning keeps unwinding. Gold and silver look more vulnerable to mean reversion after the current bounce unless they reclaim key resistance.
The broader regime call is that headlines can create temporary energy spikes, but sustained price trends will still be decided by supply normalization and technical structure. He also implies that true structural demand for gold depends on safe-haven use, not speculative momentum, while crypto remains a sentiment-driven squeeze market.
Oil is bearish despite weekend escalation headlines and is trading lower around $110 rather than spiking toward $120+.
He contrasts expected geopolitical spike with actual price action and says the chart signaled downside.
A topping-tail candle near $120 on oil is a major bearish technical signal and the setup fails only if oil closes above that high.
He explicitly defines the invalidation level and says the candle is one of the strongest bearish patterns.
Oil support lies around $95 first, then $85–$80, and eventually a year-end gap-fill near $67.25.
He lays out a stepwise downside map based on chart levels and trend-line behavior.
