The market has begun repricing over the weekend.

Expectations for another rate hike this year are rapidly rising.

The probability of a rate hike as early as September has increased significantly.

More and more funds are realizing that:

The most important task for the new Federal Reserve may not be stimulating the economy,

but rather rebuilding the credibility of the dollar.

If we enter a future characterized by:

rate hikes + balance sheet reduction,

then the market will find it difficult to maintain its current high valuation.

Meanwhile,

the Merrill Lynch Bull/Bear Index has reached extreme territory above 9.

Historically, whenever market sentiment is overheated,

there will be a 2-3% drop in the short term, with a maximum correction of 15-20%.

I'm not saying a bear market is imminent.

But I believe the risks of blindly chasing rallies far outweigh the potential gains.

While it's acceptable to be bearish on US stocks without shorting, I believe increasing cash holdings is absolutely necessary.
