To truly understand the current market fluctuations, you need to step back and look at the bigger picture.

Many people in the market are still immersed in the old story of "the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates and liquidity returning," but the reality has already reversed. Expectations of rate cuts are swinging back and forth, congressional funding is stuck halfway, and the threat of a government shutdown still looms overhead—any one of these variables changing could rewrite short-term liquidity expectations.

The market is pricing based on past narratives, but the power to set prices may be diverging from reality. This misalignment often marks the boundary between risk and opportunity.

The story of rate cuts is long outdated; anyone still talking about it is trapped. A government shutdown is the real bombshell; the market hasn't even reacted to it yet. Wait, is this misalignment a risk or an opportunity? It feels like big funds have already started positioning. The market is always slow to react, and we retail investors are the last to catch on. Exactly, the gap between narrative and reality is where the leeks are harvested. But how do you know the current price is wrong? What if there's a reversal later? Indeed, you need to zoom out; short-term fluctuations are hard to see clearly.

The story has taken a turn, is anyone still bottom-fishing? Wake up, everyone.

ngl the narrative lag here is giving me major baudrillard vibes... we're literally pricing in a simulation of what happened last cycle, not what's actually unfolding rn
