FOMC 4.5T into markets from March 2020 - about 3T in massive initial pump, then steadily added another 1.5T from early summer to now
But this is only a portion of the global "liquidity" ie CB handouts to markets
ECB, EU
BoJ, Japan
PBOC, China
Total 31T on balance sheet, up from about 19 pre covid, so 11T
Which as we have seen, has made its way into global markets & buys a lot of stock
Putting these first because it is the ONLY way to explain:
the relentless bid
the valuation
the options activity
in indexes & stocks, and of course all this CB largesse has driven cryptos also
SPX forward P/E above 20 since about July 2020 to now and before that ONLY late 90s dotcom market through the top
Blue line is weekly 10MA of put-call
Lower the line, the less puts, less fear
Higher the line, the more puts, more fear
Red line shows 2007 low in put-call so that was during real estate bubble frenzy
So we have more than 1 YEAR of put-call lower than that extreme, entire time
Point here is FOMC meeting ahead, probably they are under pressure to start some taper, & with Saturn direct likely
Although relatively minor & slow start, this is like telling someone who has been eating/drinking whatever they want, the DIET must start, even if baby steps

Still think early new month, bulls in charge, better astro
11/1-3 at least, possibly through 11/5 means more push up on indexes and & prefer cryptos back to highs
Yes, even if taper announced - an expectation thing, because 120B per month adjusted to 105B or whatever...
Is still going UP!
But whatever highs form 11/3-5 looks like decent trading top, because following week more challenged
Also to be clear, don't think 11/3-5 is major top, should get another push up later Nov or early Dec & that probably more important
Earlier than usual for review and week not over however
Sheet -
"Astro more mixed, tougher calls; usually mixed astro means mixed markets"

☑️☑️☑️
ETH maybe not really "alt" anymore but taking lead
Lift into Thurs...
