Has the Market Collapse Already Started?
Turn on Bloomberg. What do you see? Some overleveraged CEO doing victory laps, pretending everything’s fine. He probably paid for the airtime. Meanwhile, markets are bleeding out in slow motion.
It all looked great in 1929, and all. A euphoric frenzy—cab drivers giving stock tips, housewives chasing penny stocks. The Dow kept hitting new highs… until it didn’t. The top wasn’t a scream. It was a shrug. Then came the crash.

Same in 2008. Mortgage fraud, rating agency lies, junk packaged as AAA. It was all “contained,” remember? Right up until Lehman vaporized and the system seized like an old engine without oil.

Now, in 2025, it’s worse.
Everyone’s in. Boomers, Gen Z, hedge funds, house flippers, crypto bros. Even pension funds are yolo’ing into meme stocks and altcoins because “bonds are dead.” Bitcoin hit 112K, and now TikTok traders think it’s a new monetary system.
It’s not. It’s a bubble. Just like dot-coms. Just like housing. Just like tulips.
And here’s the quiet part nobody on financial TV wants to say: we might already be in the early phase of the collapse. The talking heads won’t tell you. But the structure of the market is flashing danger.
Massive call option positions—those expiring on June 20, for example—have pushed market makers to hedge by buying up underlying shares. But what happens now as those calls expire worthless? They unwind. And when they do, dealers have to dump those same shares they loaded up on.
This isn’t theory. It’s gamma mechanics. It’s liquidity in reverse. It’s a trapdoor.
And just like in ‘29, the public is all-in. There’s nobody left to buy. Only sellers…
Markets don’t crash because of bad news. They crash because of exhaustion. The last fool already bought. The whole thing’s held together with calls, copium, and zero interest rate nostalgia.
Nothing goes up forever. NOTHING.
But they won’t say that on Bloomberg. Too busy selling airtime to the next grifter CEO.
