In the last 36 months, the $SPX has had only 3 months where it dropped greater than -2.50% at the end of the month. April 2024 March 2025 March 2026 So for 2027, expect another bigly down month come Mar/April? I mean why not right?
Stat time: In the last 36 months the $SPX has only had 3 Months where it closed lower than -2.50%. Just 3.

BITCOIN HAS ALWAYS DUMPED AFTER MIDTERM ELECTIONS IN THE PAST. But there's one thing most people are missing. In the past, Bitcoin formed its cycle bottom after the midterm election. So a dump was a correlation and not causation. This time, Bitcoin has already formed its cycle bottom, so maybe this dump won't repeat. There's a decent chance Bitcoin will bottom before this year's midterm elections while those waiting for a crash will get left behind. We already saw that with the cycle bottom, and this could repeat again.

The US junk bond market is under severe pressure: The effective yield on US CCC-rated and lower-rated high-yield corporate bonds is up to 18.0%, its highest level since the 2020 pandemic. This figure has surged +500 basis points over the last 6 months, marking its largest 6-month increase since the 2022 bear market. For perspective, this yield peaked at 45.0% during the 2008 Financial Crisis. Meanwhile, credit spreads for CCC-rated and lower corporate bonds over Treasuries are up to 13.4%, the widest gap since July 2020. Over the last 6 months, this gauge has risen +464 basis points, surpassing the 2022 bear market peak of 12.8%. Cracks are widening beneath the surface of the credit market.

JUST IN: Meta plans to raise up to $95 BILLION to help fund its AI expansion. The plan includes a $35B offering now and a potential $60B share sale starting in 2027. The current offering consists of $22.5B in common shares and $12.5B in convertible preferred stock. Nvidia, AMD and Broadcom have expressed nonbinding interest in buying up to $5B combined META shares. The money would help fund data centers, computing power and Meta’s push to build personal superintelligence. $META reversed an initial -5% premarket drop to trade nearly +3% higher.
