#美国就业数据表现强劲超出预期 I looked at an analysis of on-exchange leverage data in the US stock market and feel that the market is indeed a bit inflated right now. According to indicators like FINRA margin debt, starting from mid-2025, leverage positions have been steadily increasing, and the implied leverage level across the market has noticeably risen.
Honestly, this level has already surpassed the mid-term peaks after 2009. Comparing historically, only around 2007 can be comparable, but it hasn't reached the absurd levels of the internet bubble in 2000—though such a comparison is quite frightening.
The current logic is simple: the market's rise is mainly driven by liquidity flows, and fundamentals are becoming less important. Once on-exchange leverage begins to retreat and this indicator turns downward, market sentiment will immediately shift, and we may enter a medium- to long-term correction phase.
History has shown us a pattern— the higher the leverage position, the sharper the decline when deleveraging occurs. Using this logic, the current correction could be even more severe than the bear market from November 2021 to December 2022. If liquidity suddenly tightens, the risks could be quite significant, so it's important to stay cautious.

Leverage really can't hold anymore, feeling like 2007 all over again. If it drops this time, it might scare people to death.

Here we go again with this set? The old story of high leverage is too familiar; I've heard it too many times. But this time, the data is truly shocking, really more intense than 2007? Then I have to cut my losses.

Leverage is almost at the level of 2007? If this time we really de-leverage, we better prepare ourselves.

Leverage has already stacked up to 2007 levels? Then just sit back and watch the show. Anyway, every time people say it's going to crash, it turns out to be the most stable. Haha

Oh my god, this leverage position is really outrageous, a remake of 2007? Feels like it's going to blow up.

Leverage positions soaring to 2007 levels? This time really is different... Employment data is strong, but the feeling of a hollow foundation is becoming more and more apparent.
