I have lots of technical and fundamental reasons that this correction will be different and is going to be more than 10%, you will see the technical reasons in my charts. Let’s review the fundamentals:
1- The most important factor is limiting margin for hedge funds by banks, after Archegos capital management phenomenon..!
2- The Buffett Indicator was at elevated levels before the dotcom crash of 2000 to 2002, and before the financial crisis of 2008, but at respective values of 137% and 105%, lower than today's reading of 157%.(Stansberry research)
3- Americans are now holding more money in stocks than ever before... and that includes the peak of the dot-com bubble.The data is from JPMorgan Chase and the Federal Reserve. It includes any stock that folks may hold in 401(k) accounts as well. Right now, 41% of our financial assets are allocated to stocks. Again, that's higher than the dot-com peak of 37%.
4- Constant money out flux since early 2021 which decreases trading value in more than 95% of stocks!
5-Margin debt stands at $822 billion – an increase of more than 25% since September of last year.(Stansberry research)
Conclusion: Any factor that limits new money influx will have negative effects on markets, and Bubbles always burst when they have their biggest size!
To protect your capital: *Use tight stop loss even for your longterm investments. ** Hedge your positions using inverse ETFs like SQQQ, SPXU,… *** Always accept the loss when it is small, if it becomes bigger it will become harder to accept!
