Brandon Chapman made an observation this week that should make every trader pay attention.
"The market has been very directly responding to what interest rate expectations it needs. It's thriving on liquidity."
Here's the uncomfortable truth:
Earnings don't matter. Jobs kind of matter - but only because they affect Fed policy.
All that fundamental analysis? The hours spent reading balance sheets? Right now, it's almost irrelevant.
The market is addicted to one thing: liquidity. And institutions are positioning accordingly.
Brandon showed us what happened in October:
"Why did the market peak back in October? Japanese yen carry trade unwind - one day and we were done. There was a massive hedge put on the day before that event. We picked right back up again."
The institutions saw it coming. They positioned the day before.
This is the reality of modern markets. Retail traders watch price. Institutions create it.
And right now, all eyes should be on what comes next.
The Fed just delivered a "hawkish cut" - cutting rates while signaling fewer cuts ahead. We saw this playbook before: December 2018, when a similar setup led to a 16.5% decline.
Brandon put it simply: "Most all of the gains we've had here is because the dollar has been selling off hard. And that's why gold's gone up so much. It really is that simple at this point in time."
When the liquidity narrative changes - and it will - everything shifts.
The question is: will you see it coming, or will you be caught flat-footed?

P.S. In October, institutions put on a massive hedge the day before the yen carry trade unwind. In August, 100,000 GLD call contracts were bought before the gold rally. Every major move leaves a footprint. Brandon Chapman's Ghost Prints methodology catches them.
