The Great Bear Trap of 2026

I don’t think people are ready for how violent some of these rebounds are going to be. You don’t get this kind of across-the-board selling without emotion playing a role, and emotion cuts both ways. A lot of names got hit with zero new information, just pure risk-off and forced selling. Between the metals washout, crypto nuking itself, and the constant whiplash around the Fed, it’s been a perfect storm of frustration. But moves like this don’t trend forever. At some point it stops being “macro” and starts being technical, and that’s where reversals usually show up fast. I’m not saying we V-shape everything tomorrow, but I am bullish for the foreseeable future. Stay invested, manage risk, and stop doomscrolling red candles all day. Edit: If you’re here to say an index is only down 1–3%, just keep scrolling. Entire sectors are already deep in bear market territory. If you can’t see that, you’re not paying attention.
