“A market bloodbath is in the works,” warns Gareth Soloway, Chief Market Strategist at Verified Investment. Speaking with Daniela Cambone, Soloway breaks down why the S&P 500 is flashing a critical warning sign, saying, “When you get a reversal day where you open above the all-time highs and close essentially below the recent lows, that spells trouble.”

He explains that institutional investors are unloading into retail FOMO and that the market could be on the verge of a 30–50% decline, comparable to the dot-com collapse. Soloway also shares why “buying the dip” may soon fail investors, why gold could see a near-term pullback before its next breakout, and why silver’s next springboard level sits near $34.65. He warns that Bitcoin remains vulnerable to a major drop if the stock market weakens and reveals why he is turning his attention to Chinese stocks in the second half of the year.Are We on the Edge of a Market Bloodbath?

The charts are screaming.

Wall Street’s high is built on retail euphoria, but Gareth Soloway warns: we’re at a dangerous inflection point. A technical reversal in the S&P 500, collapsing support levels, and frothy valuations could soon trigger the very “market bloodbath” so many are whispering about.

Soloway, Chief Market Strategist at Verified Investment, brings receipts—and what he reveals should shake every investor out of complacency. Let’s break it down.

S&P 500: Institutional Money Is Already Dumping

The warning signs aren’t subtle.

• A textbook reversal candle formed right after the Meta and Microsoft earnings rally—a signal of institutional selling into retail buying.
• Repeated patterns of “buy the dip” are leading lambs to slaughter. Eventually, dip buyers will get burned badly.
• Historical resistance from the 1929 and 2000 peaks is now capping market upside.

“We’re at two standard deviations above the norm. That should terrify any rational investor.” — Gareth Soloway

Gareth projects a 30-50% market collapse is on the table.

Dollar Breakdown: Weaponized and Weakened

The Biden administration wants a lower dollar—and they may just get their wish, whether the economy can handle it or not.

• The dollar index is locked in a downtrend channel.
• EUR/USD broke a 16-year resistance trendline. Historically, such breakouts signal multi-year moves.

Implication? A weaker dollar erodes purchasing power and fuels inflation—bad news for retirees and savers.

Gold: Not the Star of 2025, But Its Moment Is Coming

Gareth no longer calls gold his “top pick” for 2025. But don’t misread the chart:

• Gold surged early this year, then began consolidating.
• Technical support suggests a pullback to $3,000 could be the next major buying opportunity.

“I’m a massive buyer there. It may not lead now, but gold will shine again—likely as 2026’s top performer.”

Gold remains the anchor for real wealth preservation.

Silver: The Sleeper Trade

Silverbugs, listen up. Soloway sees massive opportunity:

• A critical trendline from 2022 keeps rejecting price surges.
• A pullback to $34.65 would hit a breakout retest level.

That setup historically leads to springboard moves. Gareth sees $40+ silver in reach.

Bitcoin: Not Digital Gold (Yet)

Despite the hype, Bitcoin is still behaving like a high-beta risk asset.

• Bearish reversal signals on the chart
• Follows equity market direction tick-for-tick
• Support at $108K is likely to break if the S&P falls

“Bitcoin isn’t gold. Not yet. It needs more time—and less speculation.”

Tariffs, Stagflation & Overcrowded AI Trades

Investors are ignoring the elephant in the room:

• Tariffs are back.
• Inflation (PCE) is running hot.
• Jobs data is weaker than expected.

This is a textbook setup for stagflation—a toxic mix of inflation and slowing growth.

Meanwhile, the AI boom has become a dangerously overcrowded trade. Once the unwind begins, it could drag down the entire tech sector.

Why Gold & Silver Matter More Than Ever

When institutions flee risk and the dollar declines, there are only a few safe havens left:

• Physical gold and silver are time-tested stores of value
• They are tangible assets immune to central bank manipulation
• Precious metals serve as a hedge against inflation and a collapsing fiat system

As Gareth’s charts show, the fundamentals for gold and silver remain exceptionally strong in a world plagued by market risk and political uncertainty.

Final Warning: Don’t Be the Last to Exit

The smart money is rotating out. Institutions are unloading while retail buys the top. The next 6-12 months could define the financial trajectory of the next decade.
