In this episode of the Market Misbehavior podcast, Dave is joined by Chris Vermeulen, founder of The Technical Traders and author of Asset Revesting. Recorded 04/21/2026

Chris shares his purely technical approach to navigating the 2026 market, highlighting the recent euphoric run and subsequent correction in precious metals. We dig into his "Asset Revesting" philosophy of never holding an asset in a downtrend, why managing a portfolio is exactly like flying an airplane with a damaged wing, the importance of strict discipline over emotional reactions, and why a breakout in the US Dollar Index could trigger the next major market reset for both equities and metals.

📈 Topics Covered
• Navigating early 2026 volatility and the controlled equity sell-off around the Strait of Hormuz
• The euphoric blow-off top in gold and silver, and Chris's targets for a precious metals reset (down to $40 silver) before the next massive leg up
• How piloting an airplane with a damaged wing mirrors disciplined trading, relying on checklists, and strict risk management
• The core philosophy of "Asset Revesting": avoiding assets in downtrends and rotating seamlessly into cash, bonds, or currencies
• Why following pure price action and trend momentum is superior to trading fundamental news or earnings
• Monitoring the US Dollar Index (DXY) at the 100-101 level as a massive potential warning sign for both stocks and precious metals
