Fed Crashes Markets, Semi's Collapse: Why I'm Buying With Both Hands! (Gold Calculator Reveal!)

Main summary

Key takeaways

Finance

Finance-focused summary (subtitle themes)

Fed credibility / rates outlook (macro driver of the selloff)

  • The speaker (Gareth Soloway) says markets were spooked by Fed behavior—specifically “tough game” rhetoric that lacked clear execution details.
  • Long-end rates rising: He notes 30-year yields going up, interpreting it as the bond market doubting the Fed will actually act as implied.
  • September hike odds: Odds were described as still high but declined, which is presented as one reason the market sold off sharply after the press conference.

Market selloff context

The selloff is attributed to multiple factors:

  • Semiconductors under pressure
  • Oil described as “flat” (not up), despite concerns about the US striking back at Iran
  • Additional volatility is framed as an opportunity for trading

Trading stance / strategy framing (swing trader)

  • Volatility is positioned as an opportunity for a swing trader (a shorter-term investor who seeks profits on bounces).
  • The speaker says he bought semiconductors “yesterday afternoon and even after hours” while they were dipping.
  • Entries are described as technical-level driven, using:
    • Support and retracements
    • Gap fills
    • Fibonacci levels
  • Disclosures mentioned:
    • Trades/portfolios are framed as “transparent” via his sites/products (smart money stocks/ETFs and a crypto portfolio).
    • The provided subtitles do not include an explicit “not financial advice” disclaimer (only sponsorship/marketing and transparency claims).

Indexes

  • 30-year yields: “actually go up” (direction noted; no exact yield value quoted)
  • September rate hike odds: “still up there” but came down (no exact percentage given)

NASDAQ / technical framework

    • Lower low / lower high behavior (with the “bullish” case said to be negated until proven otherwise)

    • Gap fills / pivot lows within a defined trading zone
    • A 0.618 Fibonacci retracement
    • (No explicit index price level quoted in the subtitles)

Gold calculator / model

Inputs and assumptions:

  • US debt issuance: about $2 trillion per year
  • Global money supply growth: about 7%

Base-case timing / outputs:

  • Over roughly the next ~5 years, the speaker expects the US to run debt around ~$2.8 trillion per year
  • Gold peak timing referenced as “in the next five years”
  • Average gold price at peak: about ~$13,000
  • Distinction is made between:
    • Peak in the gold cycle
    • The next bull market timing (described as when gold “will peak”)

Semiconductors (support/targets)

SanDisk

  • Prior move referenced:
    • Up to about $2,350
    • Then collapsing to under $1,000
  • Mentioned low:
    • After-hours low around $970
  • Bounce/target expectation:
    • Upside capped around $1,300–$1,350
  • Also described as:
    • Currently long (duration not specified)
  • Pattern cues:
    • Head-and-shoulders is mentioned for SanDisk

Micron

  • Described as:
    • A gap fill setup where Micron filled the gap and is “catching a bid”
  • Earlier top reference:
    • “North of $1,000” (approximate)

Applied Materials

  • Described as:
    • A massive collapse
  • Bounce expectation:
    • Toward a region involving a gap fill at 5:15
    • (No price stated in the subtitles)

Bitcoin

  • Bullish condition:
    • Needs a break above $67,000
  • Expected upside:
    • “Blast” to about $71,000–$72,000

Methodologies / step-by-step frameworks mentioned

Swing trading framework (implied)

  • Wait for wild swings/volatility
  • Use technical levels such as:
    • Support / pivot lows
    • Trend lines and trend-break confirmation
    • Gap fills / gap windows
    • Fibonacci retracement (explicitly 0.618)
    • Pattern cues like head-and-shoulders
  • Trade toward bounce targets based on pivot-to-pivot retracements
    • Example: SanDisk target zone around $1,300–$1,350

Gold “5 forces” model (calculator methodology)

Five drivers (as described):

  • Money supply
  • Fear of fiat debasement
  • Debt and the dollar
  • Real interest rates
  • A fifth label is referenced generally as part of “five factors,” but the exact distinct term is not clearly differentiated in the subtitles

User-adjustable inputs:

  • Debt issuance pace
  • Global money supply growth
  • Fiat mistrust / fear of dollarization
  • Real interest rates
  • Cycle peak and correction severity parameters

Outputs:

  • Next gold peak timing (within about ~5 years)
  • Average expected gold price around $13,000

    • Claims he bought semiconductors during the selloff (including SanDisk)
    • For SanDisk, targets a bounce around $1,300–$1,350 and says he is currently long
    • For Micron and Applied Materials, describes gap-fill retracement setups and bounce expectations (without explicit “buy now” instructions beyond opportunity framing)
  • Bitcoin
    • Bullish trigger: break above $67,000
    • Then expects a move toward $71k–$72k
