Recorded in February 6th 2026, technical analyst Milton Berg returns to discuss his market outlook after correctly predicting the major market bottom in April 2025. Although his long-term retail model remains 100% long equities until a specific 8% drawdown occurs, Berg reveals that his institutional portfolio is currently net short across major indices. This bearish institutional stance is driven by rare technical anomalies, including a "disturbing" volatility signal from December and a historic "island reversal" pattern in the Russell 2000. Berg admits the current market is tricky, noting that recent strong buying action might force him to cover shorts, though he remains skeptical of the rally's breadth. Turning to commodities, Berg states he is bearish on gold and silver, having shorted them near their late January highs due to signs of a "climax top" and extreme overvaluation relative to inflation. He also provides a critical assessment of Bitcoin, arguing it holds no intrinsic value and pointing out that it recently failed to hold critical technical support levels. Throughout the discussion, Berg emphasizes that his methodology ignores standard economic narratives in favor of identifying rare volume and price occurrences that signal market turning points . Finally, he introduces a new service for individual investors designed to capture the bulk of bull markets while neutralizing emotional decision-making. As Jack notes in the beginning, Milton has since turned from net short to net long U.S. stocks for institutional clients.
