About this episode

Chris Vermeulen discusses the potential final euphoric phase of the U.S. stock market and its implications for investors.

Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief of Miles Franklin Media, sits down with Chris Vermeulen, CEO of TheTechnicalTraders.com, to break down what he calls the final “euphoric phase” in the U.S. stock market and why it could be a major warning sign.

He explains why smart money could be selling into this rally, what signals he’s watching for a reversal, and how investors should prepare. He also shares his outlook on gold and silver, including a potential move to $8,000 gold and why precious metals could be “locked and loaded” for a major move… in either direction.
