Today, Steve Barton is joined by Michael Oliver, founder of Momentum Structural Analysis, for a high-stakes conversation on the future of global markets. Oliver delivers a sobering forecast: the stock market has officially peaked, and we may be entering one of the most severe downturns in modern history. But the surprises don't end there.

In a bold deviation from historical norms, Oliver argues that U.S. Treasury bonds—traditionally seen as a safe haven during equity crashes—are failing to provide cover. Instead, he identifies gold as the only remaining asset behaving like a true monetary refuge, while silver's price action signals a potentially explosive breakout ahead.

Oliver breaks down his momentum-based analysis across key sectors, revealing critical support and resistance levels for gold, silver, crude oil, and natural gas. He also dissects systemic risks in commercial real estate, the Fed's policy box, and why central banks may soon be forced into aggressive new interventions. If you're positioning for a macro reversal—or simply trying to protect your capital—this is a must-watch interview packed with actionable insight.
