Why Wall Street is ‘out of step’ with the real economy

Despite the ongoing rally in financial markets, warnings from investors suggest that Wall Street is ignoring cracks in the U.S. job market and real economy. History shows that when job data weakens, stock prices eventually plummet, leading to sharp corrections and recessions. The current disconnect between market optimism and economic reality may not be sustainable, potentially leading to a sudden correction. Meanwhile, Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies have responded positively to macro signals, with investors turning to digital assets as a hedge against economic uncertainties. The gap between Wall Street and Main Street is widening, indicating possible trouble ahead when market euphoria fades.
