Summary

Gareth Soloway provides a technical analysis market update, highlighting a semiconductor correction with a near-term bounce opportunity but a longer-term bearish outlook. He details key levels for the S&P 500, NASDAQ, oil, gold, and Bitcoin, and expects yields to decline as the economy weakens. He sees gold and Bitcoin as potential beneficiaries of capital rotation away from overextended tech stocks.

  • Semiconductors have likely topped for the cycle, with 75% downside possible eventually, but near-term bounces offer trading opportunities.
  • Gareth is long semis for a bounce, has concentrated capital in Oracle for a contrarian bounce, and highlights MRVL and STX as examples.
  • He plans to short oil at $87, expecting a rejection back to the $60s driven by technical resistance and political pressure ahead of midterms.
  • Gold may see one final flush to $3,500, which would be a long-term buying opportunity, while its long-term bull case remains intact due to fiscal concerns.
  • Bitcoin is forming a bullish inverse head-and-shoulders pattern with a near-term target of $71-72K, supported by relative outperformance.
  • Key levels to watch: S&P 500 at 7,300 and NASDAQ at 25,000; breakdowns would signal major declines.
  • He expects 10-year yields to head lower over 3-6 months as the economy weakens, favoring long Treasuries.
  • Apple is at massive resistance and is expected to decline alongside semis after a bounce.
Ideas
Gareth Soloway President of Verified Investing 5:56
Apple bearish at resistance, to fall
Apple has rallied into massive trendline resistance and is showing rejection; it is expected to decline soon while semiconductors bounce, and then fall further along with semis as the economy weakens.
Gareth Soloway President of Verified Investing 14:31
Oracle oversold, bounce to $150 coming
Oracle is deeply oversold, everyone is bearish and negativity has flushed out buyers; the stock is at converging technical trendline support and could bounce back to $150 within days.
Gareth Soloway President of Verified Investing 17:25
S&P 500 breakdown below 7300 would crash
The S&P 500 has critical trendline support around 7,300; as long as it holds, a bullish bias remains, but a breakdown would act like a dam breaking and trigger a fast decline toward 7,000 and possibly 6,300.
Gareth Soloway President of Verified Investing 21:05
Short oil at $87, back to $60s
Oil faces strong technical resistance around $87 (prior breakdown zone with high rejection probability) and political pressure from the president to keep prices low ahead of midterms, so a short at $87 is expected to ride back down to the $60s.
Gareth Soloway President of Verified Investing 24:59
Gold higher long-term on fiscal recklessness
Gold is forming a wedge pattern that is squeezing price and may produce one final flush to the $3,500 level, which aligns with prior pivot highs and would represent an attractive bottom to buy for long-term holds.
Gareth Soloway President of Verified Investing 28:26
Bitcoin bullish head-and-shoulders to $72K
Bitcoin is forming a bullish inverse head-and-shoulders pattern; recent outperformance versus gold, silver, and stocks signals capital rotation into Bitcoin, targeting a move to $71-72K with a stop below $58K.
Gareth Soloway President of Verified Investing 30:05
NASDAQ breakdown below 25000 targets 24000
The NASDAQ Composite has held support at 25,000 twice; if it breaks, it will act as a dam breaking and trigger a very quick 1,000-point flush to 24,000.
Gareth Soloway President of Verified Investing 31:54
Long Treasuries, yields falling 3-6 months
Rate-hike fears are overblown; the 10-year yield around 4.5% has already priced in the likely one hike at most, and a weakening economy later this year should push yields lower over the next 3-6 months.
