📉 US consumer confidence is at an all-time low (📊52.1), even worse than in 2008!
But... the market is rising and the #SNP500 has successfully broken its 200-day moving average!

🔍 Is this a contradiction?
No. Historically, every time consumer confidence has hit this low (except for 2008), stocks have followed it with an average 12-month rise of +20%!
💥 The market always anticipates a recession, and even if it doesn't actually appear, the pessimism itself becomes a buying opportunity.

👷‍♂️ The labor market remains strong: +167K jobs in April
💼 Corporate earnings are trending upward
🌐 Optimism about the removal of Chinese trade barriers
📈 Price above averages = significant technical strength

⛔️ In 2008:
– Earnings were collapsing
– Jobs were falling
– Failed to break the 200MA
Today, the picture is completely different.

🧠 The conclusion?
"Fear is opportunity, and calm is a time for smart trading."
Markets rise when everyone is afraid, not the other way around.
