Adam’s Notes: Sven Henrich (recorded 5.15.25)

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

• Volatile 2025 Market Dynamics: Sven Henrich describes 2025 as a year of unprecedented intraday volatility, driven by man-made policy shifts (e.g., Liberation Day tariffs), with the S&P dropping 19.2% before recovering to green, highlighting technical pivots like the yearly 5 EMA (4800).

• Bulls Hold Control, Bears Must Prove Case: The market’s rally (30% NASDAQ from April lows) reflects bulls recapturing key moving averages (weekly 20 MA, monthly 5 EMA), requiring bears to push below these levels soon to confirm a bear market rally.

• Liquidity and Earnings Sustain Rally: Record $1 trillion buybacks, strong Q1 earnings (+13%), and persistent $4 trillion deficits (despite Doge cuts) provide liquidity, delaying earnings declines and supporting equities.
