INSIGHT

Market Is In A Long Topping Process

Michael Oliver sees the market in a multi-month topping process that began late last year and will show real breakage in Q1 next year.
He says momentum measures have already broken uptrend structures even when price made new highs, signaling a likely major downtrend ahead.

INSIGHT

Oliver calls the last 15 years a massive asset bubble enabled by ultra-low rates and QE that distorted price discovery.
He warns the fallout could be larger than prior busts because interest rates have been historically suppressed for so long.

ADVICE
