Wow, just noticed that Gold spiked to $2150, a new ATH.

Those sitting on cash are waking up to the reality that they are going backwards!

Is the market pricing in rate cuts next year, or are they being manipulated to help justify the need to further increase rates…

Something is going to happen next year that will force the Fed's hand to start lowering rates. (A war in Taiwan? Major terrorist attack? CRE and Banking sector meltdown? Who knows, but it'll just be a cover story)

When this starts to happen, the leftover 1 trillion $ from the Fed's RRO will begin moving out, looking for a better return elsewhere. It's already been draining fast since June, down from a high of 2 trillion $.

If the market begins to crash, Wall Street will take all that money and massively short the market, looking to scoop up more cheap shares.

Wall Street already knows all this is coming (insider knowledge), they are just front running it now.

I think in the same way, and also everything feels like that, is something below the water that more of the big players already know but the mass of people dont, i dont know what really is but doesnt feels good, can be whatever you mention or even worse escalation on ISrael conflict, Russian Ukraine changes, Taiwan war? or maybe the new Venezuela esquebo/guayana war? seems like a multi mini wars being played, not good.

But also all the above can be good for BTC like reserve of value, you can see gold goind up and digital gold going up also Wink

Think cyber attack, or aliens or some other such nonsense... I am not sure if they could get away with Pandemic 2.. .but you never know, there may be some variation of pandemic in the mix, too.
