What is it analysts and the FED do not see? Unemployment Rate moves up. FED tries to ensure "Soft Landing" by cutting Fed Fund Rate. Around the first Rate Cut, SP500 (and equities) top and the Bear Market begins. RECESSION IS COMING! And due to FED being very, very late the Deflationary impulse will be extra strong. BUT...... first #BlowOffTop 🚀

S&P500 Update 🚨 CAUTION 🚨 Witness the stark contrast: 2008 and 2024, side by side, unfiltered. Brace yourselves. The market's next temper tantrum shall be upon us shortly. 2008 was just the appetizer. The main course is coming in 2025. P.S Dessert yet to be decided. Don't be alarmed it gets much worse.
