Intro

Is Wall Street repeating 2008? The Technical Traders’ Chris Vermeulen tells James Connor the S&P 500 could pop to 5,950 in a final “exit-liquidity” squeeze before plunging 30-50% in a stage-four bear market. Institutions are dumping on retail while freight volumes collapse, tariffs bite, and oil flashes recession. Yet, it’s not all bearish, as Chris also sees gold breaking toward $3,750 once the shake-out is done.

Key Topics:

• Exact chart levels Chris is watching for the crash trigger
• Why this is the “final leg” before a crash, mirroring 2008’s stage-four breakdown
• How Apple, Nvidia, and Palantir are flashing sell signals now
• Why retail investors are being used as exit liquidity
• The bullish setup in gold and silver, and the short-term correction ahead
• How oil’s collapse confirms recession signals
• Chris’s contrarian call on the U.S. dollar and its surprising strength in downturns
• Bitcoin’s next move if risk assets roll over, and why MicroStrategy is in the crosshairs
