Speaking with Daniela Cambone, Soloway breaks down why the S&amp;P 500 is flashing a critical warning sign, saying, \u201cWhen you get a reversal day where you open above the all-time highs and close essentially below the recent lows, that spells trouble.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He explains that institutional investors are unloading into retail FOMO and that the market could be on the verge of a 30\u201350% decline, comparable to the dot-com collapse. Soloway also shares why \u201cbuying the dip\u201d may soon fail investors, why gold could see a near-term pullback before its next breakout, and why silver\u2019s 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?<\/p>\n<p><strong>The charts are screaming.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wall Street&#8217;s high is built on retail euphoria, but Gareth Soloway warns: we&#8217;re at a dangerous inflection point.
