Summary

Chris Vermeulen, Chief Market Strategist at TheTechnicalTraders.com, joins David Lin on November 4, 2025, as stocks, gold, and Bitcoin sell off. Chris views the equity pullback as normal and controlled, with his panic-selling indicator pointing to a buy-the-dip bounce, and he remains long QQQ/equities. He is bullish on precious metals, especially gold with a $5,100-$5,200 target, silver, and miners, while avoiding Bitcoin due an ugly broadening chart. He also explains his asset-revesting trend-following strategy and risk-management approach.

  • US stocks are in a normal pullback/uptrend; panic-selling indicator and oversold readings suggest a bounce and buy-the-dip opportunity.
  • Chris is long QQQ after a breakout and sees roughly 6% further upside on a Fibonacci measured move.
  • He is bullish on the precious metals complex, expecting one more big run over the next month or two.
  • Gold is seen as a buy-the-dip active trade with a $5,100-$5,200 target.
  • Silver is consolidating and trying to bottom, with a potential inverse head-and-shoulders/rounding formation.
  • Gold miners are oversold and may be forming an emotional pivot low with the broader metals space.
  • Bitcoin has lost its shine; the broadening chart makes it unpredictable and an avoid, though he would not short it.
  • Chris uses an asset-revesting, trend-following strategy with 5-12 trades a year and holds cash when out of markets.
Ideas

Normal pullback, buy-the-dip in uptrend.
The selloff is a normal, controlled pullback within an ongoing uptrend, not a bear market. SPY gapped above resistance and is now filling that gap and testing breakout support/20-day moving average. His panic-selling indicator is flashing with NYSE down-volume overwhelming up-volume, and oversold lime-green bars suggest bargain hunters step in. He expects a bounce/rally over the next one to three sessions and is long equities, favoring buying the dip and selling the rip.

Precious metals primed for another run.
He expects the precious metals complex to have one more big run over the next month or two, supported by favorable seasonality into the holiday/end-of-year period and by money rotating out of a struggling stock market into assets with momentum. The 2007 analogy suggests gold could rally about 30% while stocks struggle, pulling the broader metals space higher.

Buy gold dip; target $5,100-$5,200.
Gold remains in a super bull market. After a strong momentum run and emotional blowoff, it has made its first pullback to a key moving average/50-day and is sitting at support. It is oversold, sentiment is washed out with late buyers underwater and people giving up, which often marks a low. He likes buying this dip as an active trade and targets roughly $5,100-$5,200.
Chris Vermeulen Chief Market Strategist, TheTechnicalTraders 11:11
Silver bottoming, set to move higher.
Silver is acting much like gold: consolidating after a strong move, holding above prior lows, and trying to carve out a bottom with a potential inverse head-and-shoulders/rounding formation. Because it is a commodity not tied to the falling stock market tide, it is holding up better than miners and should move higher in sync with the precious metals complex.

Miners bottoming, then join metals rally.
Money rotating out of stocks and into momentum should flow into the precious metals complex, including miners. Miners have been hit hardest because they are less liquid and tied to the falling stock-market tide, and emotional money is now exiting. He sees this as an emotional pivot low and expects miners to bottom with the broader precious metals space and participate in the next rally.

Bitcoin chart ugly, avoid; likely flounders.
Bitcoin has lost its shine and is now tied to risk-on/risk-off equity flows, especially the NASDAQ. The daily chart is an ugly broadening/megaphone formation with higher highs and lower lows, making it unpredictable and dangerous; breakouts get sold and breakdowns get bought. He expects it to keep floundering and shake out recent buyers, possibly probing $98,000-$99,000, but he would not short it because a sharp reversal is possible.

QQQ long, about 6% upside target.
He got long QQQ on the broad-market breakout/gap-up and remains long equities after hitting his first QQQ target. The current shakeout should produce a bounce, and his Fibonacci measured move points to roughly 6% further upside from current levels, with even more potential if the market retests lower support first.
