[Igor Pereira]

Traders, if you were looking for the definitive sign that the stock market will sour, he just arrived.

Prime Services Table Reports Goldman Sachs show that the Hedge Funds are not just selling shares; they are opening new positions sold (Shorts) at a record rate. The Smart Money is betting heavily that the S&P 500 will fall.

Below is the analysis of the graph that shows the largest short selling flow in recent years.

The weekly flow chart is alarming for those who are purchased in stock exchange.

• The Data: The "Prime Book: US Single Stocks" chart shows the weekly flow of Short Trading (Sale the Discovery). Positive values indicate increased shorts.

• The Anomaly: Come in. 30 January and 5 February, the black bar fired, exceeding the red line of 3 standard deviations (Z-Score > 3).

• Reading: Statistically, a 3 standard deviation movement is an extreme event. It means that the conviction of fund managers in the fall of individual actions (Single Stocks) is the highest since the crisis of 2021/2022. They're not "protecting" wallet; they're attacking.

It's crucial to understand the difference.

• Sell Long: That's when you sell a stock you own to make a profit. That's normal.

• Add Shorts: It's when you sell a stock that no It does, hoping to make it cheaper. That's a direct bet on destruction of value.

• Conclusion: Goldman Sachs confirms that the funds are adding Shorts in "Rout" (during the stampede). They believe that rock bottom in the stock market has not yet arrived.

How does that affect our metals?

• Short Term Correlation: When the stock market falls violently (Crash), the funds often sell Gold initially to cover the stock margins. That creates volatility.

• Refuge Flow: However, the destruction of capital in shares (equity) eventually forces money to flee for real assets. The "Short" in shares is indirectly a "Long" in volatility and fear.

Smart money is in position for a collapse. Don't try to hold the knife down.

My Vision: If Goldman Sachs is seeing shorts record, the downward trend in the indices (US500, US100) should accelerate.

1. Don't Buy Bag: Avoid buying technology shares or indexes now. The momentum is for institutional sale.

2. Focus: Keep focus on non-correlated assets (Gold/Physical Silver) and use index volatility only for business Day Trade At the selling end.
