Why the Market is Ignoring the Coming Crash | Edward Dowd

The market went from maximum fear to zero fear in nine weeks. Nobody is buying puts. Puts are cheap. And according to Edward Dowd of Phinance Technologies, that complacency is sitting on top of a credit market that is quietly breaking. Private credit markets are effectively frozen. Blackstone just capped withdrawals from its flagship fund. Google chose to raise equity instead of tapping credit markets because debt was too expensive. PIMCO's CIO said the credit default cycle has begun and will be worse than anticipated. Forty-five percent of the S&P is AI or AI-adjacent after semiconductors ran 80 percent in nine weeks. Bitcoin is down over 20 percent in three weeks and has historically led global liquidity turns. Three hundred billion in leveraged ETFs are suppressing volatility right now. When that flips, the move could be fast. 📊 tastylive: https://www.tastylive.com/ 📰 Get Tom's pre-market analysis every morning: https://www.tastylive.com/newsletters 📘 FREE Options Strategy Guide: https://tinyurl.com/bp9ms763 📱 Follow tastylive on X: https://x.com/tastyliveshow Chapters 0:00 The gap between the market signal and the economy 1:30 Three risks: housing, China contagion, AI bubble 3:00 Semiconductors up 80% in nine weeks: blow-off top? 4:00 Private credit frozen: the real warning signal 5:30 Blackstone caps withdrawals, Google raises equity 7:00 Bitcoin down 20% in three weeks: liquidity indicator 8:30 Housing rolling over, banks not confirming the rally 10:00 Credit card and mortgage delinquencies rising 12:00 $300B in leveraged ETFs suppressing volatility 14:00 Practical playbook: raise cash and buy downside protection #EdwardDowd #PrivateCredit #AIBubble #MarketCorrection #tastylive #RecessionRisk #Bitcoin #MacroInvesting tastylive is a real financial network, producing hours of live programming every day.
