Henrik Zeberg, a respected macro strategist, forecasts a major rally in stocks and crypto markets, but also warns of a potential market crash and recession by the end of 2024.
Zeberg Predicts Major Market Rally
Henrik Zeberg, a macro strategist with a significant following on social media platform X, has predicted a major rally in both stocks and crypto markets. He believes this rally could last until the end of the year, driven by two main narratives. Firstly, he suggests that the ‘blow off top’ is not yet over, indicating a potential extreme rally in certain indices and crypto. Secondly, he predicts a surge in bullish sentiment.
Bullish Sentiment and Market Top
Zeberg suggests that as the rally progresses, he will be labeled a ‘Perma Bear’ for calling the US market top. He also believes that the market top is very close in markets outside the US. Bulls, he says, will point to AI and Fed liquidity as reasons why the markets can only go up. However, Zeberg also warns of a potential implosion in both stocks and crypto markets once the top is in, predicting a market top in the US markets by Q3/Q4 2024, followed by a recession in Q4 2024.
Exuberance and the S&P 500
Zeberg also notes that market participants will become overly bullish as the S&P 500 ascends to greater heights. He suggests that this bullish sentiment will grow as the S&P 500 heads towards 6,150 points, with talk of AI and liquidity dominating the narrative. At the time of writing, the S&P 500 is trading at 5,221 points.
Conclusion
While Zeberg’s predictions suggest a potentially profitable period for investors in the short term, his long-term outlook is less optimistic. His forecast of a market top by the end of 2024, followed by a fast market decline and recession, serves as a warning to investors to exercise caution and conduct thorough due diligence before making any high-risk investments in the current market environment.
