Is a major stock market top imminent? [Video]
|Markets may be sitting near all-time highs, but under the surface, something unusual is brewing. A sharp uptick in VIX futures buying—typically a hedge against volatility—is sending a clear signal that smart money is preparing for potential turbulence ahead. Combined with AI-driven seasonality data and historically reliable time cycle indicators, there are now multiple layers pointing toward possible market reversals in August. These developments suggest traders and investors should be on high alert in the coming days. The alignment of volatility signals with cyclical peaks has historically preceded sharp corrections, and current data shows an eerily similar setup unfolding now.
In a newly released video, market strategist Portfolio Manager Andrew Pancholi breaks down these signals using insights from the Market Timing Report and proprietary platforms. You will see exactly how these markets are offering important caution signals.
