Risk Of A Meltup Into Meltdown Continues
From Macro-To-Micro Options Power Hour recorded on Jul 23, 2025
In this short clip from Macro-To-Micro Options Power Hour, recorded on Jul 23, 2025, Samantha LaDuc and Hans Albrecht discuss the current market rally fueled by short covering and speculative risk-on behavior.
While acknowledging bullish momentum, Samantha warns of growing macro risks—from a potential government shutdown and weak consumer lending to overstretched valuations and unrealistic expectations around AI and earnings.
She emphasizes that although intermarket signals haven’t triggered a sell-off yet, she’s aggressively preparing for downside protection, anticipating a possible "melt-up into meltdown" scenario.
The pair also highlights that the lack of sellers and overreliance on fiscal stimulus could leave the market vulnerable to a sudden shift later in the year.
