The Global Uncertainty Index just hit an all-time high..


Higher than 2008 financial crisis..
Higher than 2020 COVID crash..
Higher than 1997 Asian Financial Crisis..
Higher than 2001 dot-com bust..
And this time it's not one big trigger.. it's everything piling up at once..
Been through a few of these cycles now.. and what's different this time is the simultaneity..
Trade tensions remain completely unresolved.. major economies running without long-term trade deals.. keeping supply chains shaky and prices volatile..
Geopolitical risks are extremely high.. Russia-Ukraine war still raging.. US-Iran tensions rising.. multiple conflict zones all feeding the same uncertainty pool..
Then the global economy itself:
U.S. forward indicators signaling slowdown.. layoffs climbing.. bankruptcies up.. parts of the market already stressed..
China battling property crisis and sluggish growth despite liquidity injections..
Japan facing rising bond yields and tightening pressure..
Europe trapped in weak growth and low demand..
Unlike past crises with one clear culprit.. this is trade chaos.. geopolitical stress.. and synchronized slowdown all colliding at once..
That combined pressure just drove the Global Uncertainty Index into record territory..
History shows these setups usually play out in two phases:
Phase 1: Volatility surges.. risk appetite collapses.. liquidity tightens.. pain for risk assets..
Phase 2: Liquidity floods back in.. rate cuts.. coordinated easing if growth keeps fading..
We saw this exact pattern in 2020..
Near term.. sky-high uncertainty equals rough conditions for risk assets..
Longer term.. every one of these scenarios ends the same way.. more money printing..
Which is massively bullish for crypto..
