Has the Q4 Equity Correction Finally Arrived?
This video analyzes whether the long‑anticipated Q4 equity correction in a midterm election year has finally arrived. The host notes that the S&P 500 is only about 2 % off its highs, while other indices have already dropped significantly: Russell 2000 nearly 11 %, Dow Jones about 7–8 %, Nasdaq 7 %, and the South Korean market 24 % – classic signs of a correction beginning. Historical comparisons show that not every midterm year sees a late‑year drop (e.g., 2006), but the last three (2014, 2018, 2022) all had declines before the elections. The host draws parallels to 2018: weakness first in rate‑sensitive indices, then spreading. Macro factors include rising oil prices, the Fed’s likely decision to hold rates in October, and the 10‑year yield behavior. If the correction continues, it could pull Bitcoin and other crypto lower, similar to the halted alt‑rotation during the 2022 bear market. The host expects a correction with a pre‑midterm rally and a possible second leg after the elections, resembling 2018. He still recommends monthly index fund investing regardless.
