Recording Date 9-7-2026. In this episode, Chris explains why uncertainty around Treasury yields, the bond market, the dollar, war, energy prices, crypto, and precious metals has investors searching for direction. We dig into gold's conflicting signals, with its short-term trend moving higher while his longer-term technical framework remains bearish. Chris identifies gold support around $4,000 and $3,600, with deeper downside potentially near $3,100, while Fibonacci projections point toward roughly $6,400 and ultimately $7,900 to $8,000 if a confirmed bullish trend develops.

I also ask Chris about silver, platinum, palladium, copper, the Nasdaq, and S&P 500. Silver remains a laggard, while platinum and palladium have yet to confirm a broad precious-metals bull move. Copper looks considerably stronger, with higher highs and higher lows supporting a potential 10% advance toward approximately $7.40. Chris walks me through his Fibonacci methodology, including the 61.8% and 100% measured-move levels, bull flags, and the risks of triangle breakouts near the apex. Most importantly, Chris reveals where he is positioned now: long equities through highly liquid ETFs, with strong Nasdaq and S&P 500 setups and potential for another roughly 20% Nasdaq advance if an AI-driven euphoric phase develops.
