Liquidity Is the Fuel - And the Tank Is Draining - My perspective for the market for the next few months (Not for the Monday or this week!, most probably not even this month)

Every bear asks me the same thing: when is the big one? When the market will erases the grin off every bull's face?

One proxy is of it is …. Liquidity !

A deep, lasting drawdown doesn't come from one scary headline, VIX explosion. It comes when money leaves the system and stops coming back. To get a real crash, you have to drain the tank.

And liquidity isn't only the Fed's balance sheet. It's the sum of several taps feeding the market at once. There's foreign money, above all the Japanese carry trade, where investors borrow cheap yen and park it in US assets; when it unwinds it hits fast, like the August 2024 episode that knocked the Nasdaq down 8% in three days. There's the job market, because every paycheck is fuel, so when unemployment rises the household cash flowing into stocks dries up with it. There's the Fed itself, through interest rates and the size of its balance sheet. And there's plain popularity, with retail participation climbing since the 2021 meme-stock era and social media now moving individual tickers in real time.

Stack those taps together and you get the picture in the chart. For most of the last decade, liquidity and the market rose and fell together - the relationship ran at roughly +0.84 from 2015 to 2021. Since 2024 it has flipped to about -0.78. Liquidity has been grinding lower while stocks rip to fresh records on the AI trade.

That gap is the tell. When price stops caring about its own fuel supply, that is euphoria, and euphoria is a red flag, not a green light. It doesn't mean tomorrow. With social media steering sentiment, expect wild swings, big up days and big down days, sometimes in the same session. But on average, the path of least resistance in 2026 leans lower.

Two more weights are now landing on the scale. The first is oil. The Strait of Hormuz, the chokepoint for roughly a fifth of the world's oil, has been effectively shut since early March, after the US and Israeli strikes on Iran. Brent spiked toward $138 a barrel in April and still sits well above its pre-conflict level near the low $100s. Pricier energy pulls spending power out of everything else and keeps inflation sticky, which ties the Fed's hands right when the market would most like them free. The second weight is the calendar. 2026 is a midterm year, historically the weakest and most volatile leg of the four-year presidential cycle - the average midterm has seen a 17% intra-year drawdown, with the pain usually concentrated into the late summer and fall. That points to a rough Q3 and Q4, with relief typically arriving after the November 3 vote, whoever ends up winning it.

So, don't panic. This is not a one or two-day-after-this-post event. But keep it in the back of your mind: the conditions for a deeper correction in 2026 are quietly stacking up, and the tank is draining. 20-30% correction wouldn’t be unusual here.

Bearish imbalance to 7453. Once the boys return from a quick lunch, beers and few cocaine rails... i think we got shot to continue the assault lower toward lower lower value. Open Gap 7468.50 on radar.
