$BTC CRISIS SIGNAL: Bankruptcies & Debt Explode as Consumers Crack
The warning lights are flashing. Large U.S. corporate bankruptcies just surged to the highest levels since 2010, with 18 major firms collapsing in just three weeks. The 3-week average now rivals pandemic-era stress — approaching peaks last seen during the 2009 financial crisis.
But the real shock? Consumers are buckling. Serious credit card delinquencies have spiked to 12.7% — the worst since 2011 — and rising faster than during the 2008 meltdown. Meanwhile, U.S. household debt has ballooned to a record $18.8 TRILLION, with mortgages, credit cards, auto loans, and student debt all at historic highs.
This is classic late-cycle pressure: rising defaults, slowing growth, and debt maxed out.
Will the Fed step in before cracks turn into fractures?
