Fed just dropped new macro data - and it’s truly horrifying.
Something bad is happening behind the scenes right now.
Most people have no idea what’s coming.
Here’s what you MUST understand to protect your investments in 2026:

The CPI numbers just dropped.
Headline CPI: 2.4% vs. 2.5% expected.
Core CPI: 2.5% vs. 2.5% expected.
Inflation is NOT heating up.
It’s cooling.
Headline CPI is now at its lowest level since April - right before tariffs hit.
Core CPI just printed its lowest level in nearly 5 years, back when the U.S. economy was literally shut down.
Read that again.
Despite nonstop warnings from the Fed, inflation is trending LOWER.
But here’s the part no one wants to talk about:
The economy is COLLAPSING.
→ The labor market is deteriorating.
→ Credit card delinquencies are climbing fast.
→ Corporate bankruptcies are back at 2008-style levels.
This is what a massive policy mistake looks like.
The Fed stayed dovish too long in 2020–2021 and ignited inflation.
Now they’ve stayed hawkish too long - and they’re crushing demand.
This time, the real danger isn’t inflation.
It’s deflation.
And deflation is far more destructive.
Tight policy + falling inflation + a weakening economy is a toxic mix.
Every day this continues, the damage compounds.
And the longer the Fed waits, the worse the fallout is going to be.
And here’s the trap.
If the Fed pivots now and starts printing again, it doesn’t save the system.
It breaks it.
Rate cuts + money printing at this stage won’t signal relief - they’ll signal panic.
Markets won’t hear “support.”
They’ll hear: something is seriously wrong and Fed is trying to print their way out.
Printing now means the Fed admits it stayed tight too long and detonated the economy.
Confidence snaps.
Risk reprices instantly.
There is NO clean exit anymore.
Every path leads to volatility.
Every delay makes the eventual move more violent.
This isn’t about if something breaks.
It’s about what breaks first.
I’ve spent over 10 years trading and publicly calling major tops and bottoms.
When I make my next move, I’ll share it here.
Follow and turn on notifications now or be someone else’s exit liquidity later.
A lot of people are going to wish they paid attention sooner.
