Gold Crash Overdone or Just Beginning? Markets Show 2007-Style FOMO and 2008-Like Stress Ahead

In my recent interview with David Lin, I talked about how the latest moves in gold, stocks, and Bitcoin may be signaling a major market transition, fueled by FOMO and parabolic behavior much like we saw in 2007. I outlined the key Fibonacci and money-flow levels I’m watching to determine whether this is just a shakeout or the start of a larger top.

My focus right now is on managing risk by staying in cash until technical confirmation shows renewed strength in key assets. I also discussed signs of capital rotation into the U.S. dollar and inverse ETFs, and why real estate and REITs could be setting up for stress similar to 2008.
