A chart technician first, crypto commentator second — Soloway trades Bitcoin alongside gold, oil and the S&P, and prices every call off horizontal levels, trend lines and candle structure. He gives numbers and invalidation levels, which makes him unusually easy to score. The catch: he is a short-term bull inside a long-term bear, so two of his calls can point opposite ways in the same week.

In short. Gareth Soloway is Chief Market Strategist and president of Verified Investing, the subscription research shop he co-founded in 2007 as InTheMoneyStocks. He is a classical technician: support and resistance, trend lines, reversal candles and his own named patterns, applied across crypto, equities, metals and energy. In crypto he is a swing trader, not a hodler — he says so explicitly — and he pairs near-term long setups with a standing forecast that this bear market ends below $50,000. That split is the thing to understand before reading any single call of his: the direction is usually the trade, not the thesis.

Background — from financial adviser to full-time chart reader

Soloway studied economics at Binghamton University and began his career on the financial-services side before leaving in 2004 to trade his own capital full time. In 2007 he and Nicholas Santiago launched InTheMoneyStocks, a chart-education and trade-alert business that was later rebranded Verified Investing. He has run it since, publishing daily technical breakdowns on YouTube and appearing regularly on finance-media interview shows such as The David Lin Report and Kitco.

His method is deliberately old-fashioned: horizontal levels, parallel channels, trend lines drawn off prior highs, reversal and inside-bar candle structure, plus proprietary tools he markets under names like the PPT Methodology, the Confirmation Signal and Three Tail Theory. Verified Investing advertises an 80%+ win rate on 300+ swing-trade alerts a year since 2007 — that is a marketing claim on his own site, it is not independently audited, and nothing on this page attempts to verify it. What this page does instead is score the calls he made in public, with dates.

That record includes misses we could date but could not quote. On 3 May 2026, in an interview with David Lin, he said Bitcoin was forming a bear flag that could take it down roughly 38% to $50,000 unless it cleared $85,000. Bitcoin's worst print after that was $58,566 — a 25.6% fall, and never close to $50,000 — so the call was wrong on the level and on the size. It sits in the biography rather than on a card only because none of the outlets covering that interview carried a verbatim Bitcoin quote, and this dossier charts nothing it cannot quote. A second in-window near-miss cuts the other way: on 13 February 2026, one day before this chart window opens, he posted that $80,000–$85,000 was the likely upside — Bitcoin's actual high across the whole window was $82,018.

Trading style & philosophy

Classical price-action technical analysis, applied identically to Bitcoin, gold, oil and the S&P. Soloway works top-down from long trend lines and prior pivot highs, then trades the retest: a reversal candle, an inside-bar cluster that fails to break the reversal low, a channel band tagged and held. He names the trigger, the target and the invalidation level — which is why his calls can be graded at all — and he sizes out in halves on the way up rather than holding for the move. The weaknesses show up on this page: his time frames slip badly (a "days to weeks" target that lands in seven weeks), his own invalidation levels break without him abandoning the target, and his standing macro bear case tempts him to fade the very breakouts he just called.

Track record — his calls, charted

Dated, in-window calls with a verbatim quote attached — from press that quotes him directly, from his own X posts, and in one case from the title of his own upload — each charted against real CoinGecko price from the day he said it. Where an outlet only paraphrased him (his July $73–74k Bitcoin and $2,000 Ethereum targets, for instance, or the 3 May bear-flag call to $50,000) the call is not charted, because we will not put words in quotation marks that nobody printed. Those are disclosed in the biography instead. He gives real levels, so these are graded on his own numbers.

Outcomes are our read of his stated call against real price, not his own scoring. Every quote was re-fetched from its source before publishing (X posts via the syndication endpoint, articles by direct fetch, the video title via YouTube's own oEmbed API). Near-term marks can flip as the cycle resolves.

How he makes money — and where the conflicts are

Soloway sells research, not tokens — the product is a subscription to his own levels. That removes the coin-shilling conflict and replaces it with a subtler one: a paid alert service is sold on a track record, so the public calls double as marketing for the private ones.
