By Professor Jeffrey Bierman, CMT | The market isn't just struggling—it's broken. And I don't mean "broken" in a cute, CNBC-soundbite kind of way. I mean functionally, internally, systemically broken. The guts of this thing don't work anymore, and most people don't even realize it. | What used to drive markets? Human beings. Emotions. Fear. Greed. Valuation. Cycles. Earnings trends. You know—reality. But now? The inmates are running the asylum. And by inmates, I mean algorithms. Machines. Code. High-frequency trading systems that don't care about balance sheets or income statements. They don't even care about the macro picture. They care about momentum, liquidity, and volatility—period. That's it. | This is not the market I grew up in. This is not the market most investors are equipped to navigate. You've got algos that are front-running each other, pulling liquidity the second volatility ticks up, and turning technical setups into booby traps. You think you're buying support? You're not. You're walking into a buzzsaw. | Let's talk about liquidity—because that's the real story nobody wants to address. There is no real liquidity. The minute volatility breaks trend, these machines all run for the exits together. There's no deep-pocketed institution waiting to catch the fall. There's no mutual fund saying, "Hey, this is cheap. Let's buy." There's just air - and algos. | And don't even get me started on charts. Daily charts? Useless. Intraday setups? Forget it. Technical analysis has become almost irrelevant because the human behavior it was built to track has been pushed out of the picture. These machines don't trade fear. They trade signals. And that means the internals of the market—breadth, leadership, participation—don't behave the way they used to. Everything's fragmented. Everything's fake. | Look around—do you think it's normal for a company like Walmart, one of the best forecasters in the S&P 500, to stop giving guidance? That's a shot across the bow. When the companies themselves don't have visibility, how are you, sitting at home with a 401(k), supposed to? | We're in a market now where dips don't get bought—they get sold. Rallies? Faded. Because the algos don't think like humans. They don't ask, "Is this overdone?" They just react. And when they all react at once, what you get is these violent air pockets and flash moves that make no fundamental sense. It's mechanical. Cold. And dangerous. | So what's the takeaway? This isn't about timing the next leg down or trying to catch a short-term bounce. It's about understanding that the structural internals of this market are compromised. Until there's a real flush—a real washout of sentiment, of leverage, of false liquidity—we're trading in a synthetic system. A dangerous one. | The game has changed. And if you're still playing by the old rules, you're going to get wiped out. |
