Premium Investor Report #504
Premium Investor Report #504, authored by Lark Davis, delivers a technical‑analysis heavy outlook across equities, metals and crypto, highlighting a strong short bias. The S&P 500 remains in a rising wedge with breakout thresholds at 7,015 (long) and 6,900 (short). Gold and silver are monitored for secondary anxiety peaks near key Fibonacci levels ($5,140/$5,340 for gold; $99/$109 for silver) signaling potential shorts. Bitcoin is recommended for a perp short at $66.8 K targeting $60 K, while spot buying below $69 K and an ETH short near $2,130 are also suggested.
