Market Calm? Don't Be Fooled
(New Video)

Don Kaufman here.
Let me cut right to it — this week's market calm is a mirage.
I just recorded my latest market update, and what I'm seeing beneath the surface should make every trader pay attention. While some are breathing a sigh of relief, the volatility metrics are screaming something else entirely.
Why volatility is DOWN but definitely not OUT — and the shocking reason VIX staying in the 30s is a clear warning sign
The bizarre "backwardation" signal showing why the next 34 days could be MORE dangerous than the next 90 days
How record-thin liquidity is setting the stage for explosive price moves when volume returns
The truth about tech stocks — why Nvidia's 26% year-to-date drop is just the beginning
How energy and financials created a misleading "calm" while liquidity providers stood on the sidelines
Why next week's $150 expected move might just be the minimum of what's coming
If you think we're in the clear because this week seemed calm, think again. The market is simply holding its breath.
When volume's gone like this, it's people waiting to position themselves... Every little nuance is going to move this marketplace. It's skittish, there's no liquidity, and everybody is waiting.
To your success,
Don Kaufman
