Summary
Katie Stockton of Fairlead Strategies says the near-term equity backdrop remains choppy, with the S&P 500 sitting above key support levels. She expects 8-9 more weeks of corrective action in gold and silver after parabolic rallies. She also sees Bitcoin confirming a cyclical uptrend breakdown if it closes below about 89,000, opening the risk of a bear-market cycle or wide trading range. AI remains a long-term uptrend, but she expects corrective action and dispersion among individual AI names.

Ideas
Near-term corrective; watch S&P support levels.
Katie still sees a near-term period of equity angst/consolidation rather than a move higher. She is watching 6730 as key S&P 500 support; a break below would materially increase risk because the 200-day moving average is far below, with more important support near 6130.
Bitcoin breakdown signals lower highs, bear cycle.
Bitcoin has breached its weekly cloud/cyclical uptrend, and a close below about 89,000 would confirm a breakdown. That would suggest either a large volatile trading range or a bear-market cycle in which relief rallies make lower highs; next support is around 70,000 and just below 58,000. She says a much deeper 80% drawdown to 25,000 would be out of line with current indicators.
AI uptrend intact but expect corrective dispersion.
Although AI remains a long-term uptrend to respect, some AI-related names have become parabolic and she would not be surprised by corrective action similar to gold and silver. The mega-cap complex is showing wide dispersion, and she expects the AI trade to show more individual-company dispersion rather than uniform group behavior.
Gold and silver face 8-9 week correction.
Gold and silver have been in parabolic uptrends that tend to resolve through dramatic pullbacks rather than simple consolidation. She expects 8-9 more weeks of corrective action, likely sideways-to-lower after the initial downdraft; ultimately this is healthy for the longer-term price trend.
