Global Market Collapse Next Week? Fed Liquidity Moves Raise Red Flags Across Stocks And Crypto

ETH2,11%
XRP3,91%
JASMY3,69%
HBAR2,62%

The global money market has been extremely volatile in recent weeks. One moment, investors feel hopeful about recovery. The next moment, markets look as if they are on the verge of crashing.

A post on X from a macro analyst suggests the worst may arrive within days. The claim sounds extreme at first glance. The data behind it, however, deserves a closer look.

Leshka.eth, who mad the post, argues that a systemic funding problem is quietly forming beneath stable equity charts and resilient crypto prices. His concern is not based on price action alone. It centers on recent Federal Reserve balance sheet changes and synchronized liquidity injections from both the United States and China.

The Federal Reserve balance sheet expanded by roughly $105B. The Standing Repo Facility added $74.6B. Mortgage backed securities increased by $43.1B. Treasury holdings rose by $31.5B.

Leshka.eth makes a distinction between stimulus and stress response. Traditional quantitative easing typically emphasizes Treasury purchases. A larger increase in mortgage-backed securities can indicate funding strain inside the banking system. When collateral quality declines, central banks often provide emergency liquidity through repo facilities.

Liquidity injections can look bullish on the surface. Equity markets often react positively to expanding balance sheets. Funding stress, however, tends to show up in bond markets before stocks fully respond.

China Injects 1.02 Trillion Yuan As Global Liquidity Tightens

The People’s Bank of China injected more than 1.02 trillion yuan through 7 day reverse repos in a single week. That scale of liquidity action occurring simultaneously with U.S. support raises broader macro questions.

Leshka.eth points out that when multiple major economies inject liquidity at the same time, it may not signal coordinated stimulus. It can instead reveal funding strain beneath the surface. Similar patterns appeared before past market disruptions in 2000, 2007, and 2019.

Gold trades at record highs. Silver has also reached fresh peaks. Precious metals often act as collateral hedges during uncertainty around funding markets.

Leshka.eth argues that this combination of rising hard assets and central bank liquidity expansion mirrors early stages of past financial stress cycles. Bonds often move first. Funding markets tighten next. Equities ignore early warnings until pressure builds. Crypto historically experiences the most violent swings during liquidity contractions.

A collapse next week remains a bold claim. Markets do not move on schedule. Liquidity stress can persist for months before risk assets adjust meaningfully.
