S&P 500 Support Just Broke: Big Money Unwind Spreads | Gareth Soloway

The stock market whiplashed after a hawkish 9-3 Federal Reserve hold, but the real story is the massive unwinding in the semiconductor sector. Recorded midday Pacific, July 29, during the post-Fed reversal. Markets sold off into the close, with the Nasdaq 100 ending in correction territory. South Korea's KOSPI has crashed 33% this month, and memory chip giants like SanDisk are down 57% in just 30 days. Is the AI CapEx bubble bursting? In this episode, Gareth Soloway, Chief Market Strategist at Verified Investing, breaks down exactly why the tech unwind is spreading and shares the exact trendline where he is contrarian-buying the chip crash. Gareth also maps out the S&P 500's critical "line in the sand," explains why the New York Fed is flashing a credit market warning, and details the structural global forces driving his long-term $13,000 gold target.

The stock market whiplashed after a hawkish 9-3 Federal Reserve hold, but the real story is the massive unwinding in the semiconductor sector. Recorded midday Pacific, July 29, during the post-Fed reversal. Markets sold off into the close, with the Nasdaq 100 ending in correction territory. South Korea's KOSPI has crashed 33% this month, and memory chip giants like SanDisk are down 57% in just 30 days. Is the AI CapEx bubble bursting?

Gareth also maps out the S&P 500's critical "line in the sand," explains why the New York Fed is flashing a credit market warning, and details the structural global forces driving his long-term $13,000 gold target.
