Iâm not saying this for clicks, hype, or panic. Iâm saying it because Iâve been studying this stuff for years and the signals right now donât look normal.
The Fed just released new data, and honestly⊠it looks worse than most people expected.
If youâre holding assets right now, you really need to pay attention.
A major global market shock is quietly building, but most retail traders donât see it yet. Thereâs stress forming in the financial system underneath the surface, and very few people are actually positioned for whatâs coming.
Look at what the Fed just did:
Balance sheet expanded by about $105B
Standing Repo Facility added $74.6B
Mortgage-backed securities jumped $43.1B
Treasuries only rose $31.5B
This is NOT bullish QE like people think.
This is the Fed stepping in because funding conditions got tight and banks needed emergency liquidity. When the Fed starts absorbing more mortgage securities than Treasuries, thatâs a clear sign the quality of collateral is getting worse. That only happens when the system is under real pressure.
Now hereâs the bigger issue almost nobody wants to talk about:
The U.S. national debt is at an all-time high â over $34 trillion and growing faster than the economy itself.
Interest payments on that debt are exploding. The government is now issuing more debt just to pay interest on old debt. Thatâs literally a debt spiral.
At this point, U.S. Treasuries arenât truly ârisk-freeâ anymore â they rely on confidence. And that confidence is starting to crack. Foreign demand for U.S. debt is weakening, domestic buyers are getting picky, and the Fed is slowly becoming the buyer of last resort.
You canât keep running trillion-dollar deficits while funding markets tighten. You canât pretend this is normal.
And this isnât just a U.S. problem.
China is doing the same thing. The PBoC just injected over 1 trillion yuan in liquidity through reverse repos in a single week.
Different country â same problem: Too much debt.
Too little trust.
The entire global system is built on rolling over debt that fewer and fewer people actually want to hold. When both the U.S. and China are forced to inject liquidity at the same time, thatâs not stimulus â thatâs financial plumbing starting to break.
Most traders misread this phase. They see liquidity injections and think âbullish.â Itâs not.
This isnât about pumping markets â itâs about keeping funding alive. And when funding breaks, everything else becomes a trap.
The pattern is always the same:
Bonds show stress first
Funding markets crack
Stocks ignore it⊠until they donât
Crypto gets hit the hardest
Now look at what gold and silver are doing â both at all-time highs. Thatâs not a normal âgrowth trade.â Thatâs capital fleeing paper assets and moving into hard assets. That happens when trust in the system weakens.
Weâve seen this movie before:
2000 â dot-com crash
2008 â financial crisis
2020 â repo market chaos
Every time, recession followed soon after.
The Fed is stuck in a trap.
If they print aggressively â metals surge and trust erodes.
If they donât print â funding markets freeze and debt becomes unmanageable.
Risk assets can ignore this for a while â but not forever.
This isnât just another market cycle. This is a balance-sheet, collateral, and debt crisis slowly developing in front of our eyes.
Iâve been deep into macro for nearly a decade, and Iâve called several major turning points â including the last $BTC $ATH $ETH .
