An invisible Market Crash ?

[Nobert]

I have this, weird idea, of how things are playing out/played out.

Last summer, FAANG, went down.
Small caps as well (somewhere in between, if im wrong, correct me)

Now look at CNC, IRBT etc, lost 50% ~70% of their valuations since 2018 correction.


So, does a ,,market crash", has to be - everything at the same time scenario?

Or can it be, a slow process, of 1 - 2 years transition, sort of invisible for the public eye,

yet boosted with a lot of fear from media and big players, that it's only ,,everything at once" - scenario possible.

Fisher said, ,,It's not going to be a fall from the cliff like the last time, but soft jorney downhill"

Any thoughts ?

nah overthinking it. the buying pressure is insane on the price action. just buy with eyes close.

I don’t know if those individual assets are indicators of a crash.

However I think there’s merit in your theory about markets “crashing” over time. If markets follow the economic cycle then it will have peaks and troughs following the economy. Economies don’t crash overnight.

also I recall from my Econ classes eons ago that small caps tend to fall before large cap stocks indicating a market decline.

OK;
TSLA went down much of last year+ oil market has had some good downtrends. But that is not the market, nor is AMZN or AAPL.Small caps have always been more of a rollercoaster+ like oil, correlated ''to itself' 'LOL .SPY, QQQ are nice uptrends/bull markets...……..
Even the DOW, the weaker of the 3 [ DOW,NasdaQ, SPY] has had some high correlations with SPY,QQQ, but DOW is easier to manipulate. One DOW derivative trader, who we saw make a lot of money short term trading said ,'' DOW is correlated to itself'',
