The Dow Jones (yes, it still exists) just dropped -2.9% within 11 days from a new all time high that was set by a +5% upthrust in 5 days.

And when has that happened in the past?
Let's see here.

2026 is tracking 1968, 1978, and 2007.

All three years followed the same script:
1. Choppy start.
2. Rally into summer.
3. Grind higher into mid-September.
4. Peak.
5. Then sell off into year end.

If the pattern holds, the market finishes the year flat. Stay balanced, don't… pic.twitter.com/awAJ4raiDz

The "U.S. Treasury" was buying/retiring government debt in the months immediately preceding the October 1929 stock-market crash.
The timing is striking: the $100 million September 16 purchase occurred only about six weeks before Black Monday/Black Tuesday, October 28–29, 1929. pic.twitter.com/MCNGVLsMbD

The bond market is smarter than the stock market.

Much smarter.
