Liquidity Issues Loom, and Is the Coming Volatility Bad Going to be Bad?
 
 
As we head into the week, we have the majority of big tech reporting earnings, plus PCE and GDP reports. Then the U.S. presidential election next week followed immediately by the FOMC rate change announcement next Thursday. With all these coming events, there is bound to be some volatility.  Is it UP, DOWN or BOTH?

Come join me as we dive in and see what’s moving!

Plus, as always, we have stocks popping and dropping so come find out what is moving this morning as I look for stocks and do some live premarket analysis on SPX, SPY, NDX, QQQ, Russell, IWM and other stocks that are potential plays for the day. 


Liquidity Issues Loom: The Federal Reserve’s Shrinking Reverse Repo Balances

There’s been a lot of chatter lately about the Federal Reserve's reverse repo balances and what they could mean for liquidity in the banking system. Essentially, the Fed has been steadily reducing its reverse repo levels, which dropped by nearly $23 billion in just two days. This decline in reverse repo balances is significant, as it directly impacts the reserves banks hold, meaning less cash available for day-to-day operations. 

Let’s look at the potential consequences of this. 

As the Fed drains these balances, it creates what many are calling a “liquidity crunch.” This shortage of cash in banks has implications that go far beyond a simple adjustment – it resembles some of the same liquidity issues that led to past financial crises, like in 2008. 

The Reserve balances are already nearing what analysts refer to as the “lowest comfortable level,” around $3 trillion, which helps keep the wheels of finance turning smoothly. When reserves dip below this threshold, the risk of a market freeze increases, raising the likelihood of Fed intervention. 

Silicon Valley Bank's collapse earlier this year underscored how quickly financial trouble can escalate when liquidity gets tight.

So, what happens if banks start running low on cash? 

It might not cause a collapse tomorrow or even next week, but without ample reserves, banks can struggle to meet their overnight obligations, causing volatility in the financial markets. Such a scenario is reminiscent of past liquidity crunches that led to rapid declines in the financial sector. 

If the Fed doesn’t take action, the effects could snowball. For instance, we’re already seeing Treasury auction rates creep up as the government tries to cover its costs in an environment where buyers are demanding higher returns to lend.

The question now is how far the Fed will go before stepping back in to stabilize liquidity. At this point, every interest rate adjustment matters – and the Fed’s moves in the coming weeks will be critical as we near the end of the year.

While the world's focusing on politics and economic forecasts... 

I've created a revolutionary trading tool called Apollo… 

It isn't just another tool in the trading arsenal — it's a massive leap forward. 

Because you don’t need to be chained to charts all day chasing opportunities. 

Instead, Apollo acts like your personal trading assistant. And it’s been clocking in an average of 2.8 winning trades a day for the past SIX months!*

Click to subscribe to Apollo Algo and Jeffry Turnmire updates (you can unsubscribe anytime—privacy policy).

That's real-time, live trading results for half a year. 

Even better: 

Apollo sends you a complete trade setup — everything from entry points to where to set your exit, all while you're out living your life.

 
 
 

That’s why I've roped in Roger Scott to help me spread the good word at 1 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Oct. 29. 

And you’re invited! 

Apollo's track record speaks for itself, but remember — no one can predict the markets with certainty, so we can’t promise wins or prevent losses. 

Nevertheless, the Apollo Algo is the first of its kind… 

And it’s unlocking a whole new way to trade the stock market…

Curious?

How the Daily Chart Setup Works
 
 
Here’s a more detailed description of how the pattern triggers:
 
1. The price breaks upward through the orange Market Roadmap Line. 

2. Then the price goes up and down while staying above the line. Eventually, it comes down to touch the line again — this could take days, weeks or even months. 

3. Once it touches the line and starts moving back up, that signals an entry. 

I use Fibonacci levels for for profit targets and stop losses, and these two tools combined have helped me achieve a 77% win rate over the past six-plus years!

You can grab my Market Roadmap Indicator here for just $5 — less than a cup of coffee at most places!
