Episode notes
Market Reversal Signals
- Joe McCann's bearish view is driven by market signals like swing failures in Bitcoin and S&P 500, a hawkish Fed, and collapsing liquidity.
- These signals, combined with technical analysis and lack of inflows, suggest a potential market reversal.
Market Focus on Growth
- The market's focus on growth, not inflation, is reflected in the steeping yield curve.
- This suggests the economy isn't at risk, despite the Fed's hawkish stance and potential rate cuts being mispriced.
Dollar Strength and Risk Assets
- The US dollar's strength is problematic for risk assets, and its rise doesn't seem to have peaked yet.
- This suggests a potential opportunity to buy risk assets at lower prices if the dollar continues to appreciate.
