ā ļø WHAT THIS MEANS:
This isn't just stock market enthusiasm.

1. Risk-On Sentiment Overheated ā FOMO is visible in traditional finance.
2. Spillover Risk ā A market-wide deleveraging hits all risk assets.
3. Bitcoin as a Hedge? ā Many are allocating to BTC as a non-margined store of value outside the broker-loan system.

Leverage fuels rallies but magnifies crashes.
In a world of record margin debt, portfolio resilience matters more than ever.
