The mechanism is daily-rebalancing decay and amplified drawdowns, making the leveraged vehicle structurally inferior outside a strong one-way bull market. No specific catalyst or time horizon is given. Main risk to the view is a persistent, low-volatility uptrend where leverage compounds favorably.
