Gary has been saying "Don't break 170. Don't break 170."

- Credit cards: MasterCard, Visa, American Express, Capital One, Synchrony Financial - all warned on.
- Defense stocks: "Starting to get a little toppy in here."
- Eli Lilly: "Topped in place. I think it's called competition."
- Sectors down 25-30% already: "We hope you have been listening."
🟡 WHAT'S WORKING

₿ CRYPTO - BEAR FLAG WARNING
IBIT went from 47 → 35, bounced, ran to 42, now at 37. In a bear flag again.
Gary: "If crypto, Bitcoin, whatever, Ethereum breaks that bear flag, it will invite even more selling."
📉 THE BEAR MARKET ROADMAP (Gary's Framework)
Gary walking through the sequence that's been playing out since November 4th:
- Top out
- Break the 50-day MA
- Can't get back above
- Build support below the 50-day
- Break that support - "that's where trouble comes"
- 50-day starts rolling over
- All bounces into the 50-day fail
Key dates:
- Dow broke 50-day: February 27
- Dow broke support: March 6
- S&P broke support: ~March 13
- All major indices broke below 200-day: last Friday
- Today: Indices can't get back above 200-day. 50-day now turning down.
Gary: "We have no clue how far it goes, how long it goes."
💼 TRADER TAKEAWAYS
The process is bearish. Not a prediction - a description of what the market is telling you right now. No new commitments in any avoid areas. "You don't buy things in bear markets because you don't know how far down they're going to go." NVIDIA 170: The break is significant. Watch Monday's open closely. Gold GLD 400: Gary flagging this as a level to watch for potential firm low. The only list worth watching: AI/optical/storage names showing relative strength - up on down days. Still holding but getting pressure. "Clouds clear, no more whack-a-mole." 860 new yearly lows on a Friday. That is the weight of evidence. Gary's job right now: "Keep a list of everything that hangs and bucks the trend." Relative strength lines skyrocketing vs. the market = the tells.
