🌍📉 Are Global Markets Entering a New Volatility Phase?⚠️ Goldman Sachs is sounding the alarm!
Systematic funds could unload tens of billions in equities in the coming weeks and the shockwaves may not stop at stocks.
🔄 Commodity Trading Advisor(CTA) Selling + Thin Liquidity = Trouble?
📊 Goldman’s trading desk warns that trend-following CTAs have already hit sell triggers in the S&P 500
💣 Even if markets stabilize, these funds are expected to keep selling
🧨 If key technical levels break, systematic selling could accelerate sharply
🌀 Add in short-gamma dealer positioning, and every small dip risks turning into an outsized move.
When liquidity thins, volatility doesn’t knock, it kicks the door in.
😰 Sentiment Check: Cracks Are Showing
📉 Goldman’s Panic Index is nearing stress levels
🛑 Retail investors, once eager dip-buyers, are showing fatigue
📉 Flows are shifting from buying to net selling
🔗 Spillover Risk: Bitcoin, Gold & Silver
🔁 Big equity sell-offs + tightening liquidity often hit macro-sensitive assets
🟠 Bitcoin may see renewed volatility as risk sentiment wobbles
🟡 Gold & Silver could swing sharply — pressured by liquidity, supported by safe-haven demand
⚖️ Direction depends on dollar strength and cross-asset flows
🧠 The Bottom Line
💧 Liquidity is the key variable
📉 Systematic deleveraging is underway
🌪️ Volatility is rising — not fading
If Goldman’s projections play out, the next few weeks could test equities…
…and crypto and precious metals may feel it too.
👀 Are we heading into a full-blown gamma trap, or is this the reset markets needed?
