Analysis: Market Liquidity is Decreasing, Recovery Still Needs a Consolidation Period

On November 5th, the CryptoQuant analyst Axel released a post indicating that from a momentum standpoint, the market is about to commence an attempt at a rebound. Furthermore, a significant number of short positions have already accumulated, which may serve as a catalyst for the rebound. Technically speaking, the market is already in an oversold state. However, history has demonstrated that a recovery typically requires a period of consolidation. The deterioration of risk aversion is closely associated with the increasingly scarce market liquidity. The U.S. government shutdown has resulted in substantial budget cuts. Meanwhile, tax collection and debt issuance continue as usual. All of these factors have jointly led to a substantial contraction in the liquidity of the financial system.

This is a landmark case that will determine whether the president has the authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose foreign tariffs. The ruling in this case has the potential to reshape hundreds of billions of dollars in trade and debt structures and is being referred to as "the most consequential economic lawsuit in nearly a century."
