Global Liquidity Influx | AI's Resilience | Volatility's Last Stand

This week saw markets grapple with lingering volatility and a fractured macro picture, yet a significant wave of global liquidity is quietly positioning the next leg higher.

From Japan's massive stimulus to ongoing TGA drains and aggressive Chinese injections, smart money is preparing for a new capital cycle.
​
Meanwhile, the AI sector continues its relentless buildout, challenging "bubble" narratives, even as Bitcoin navigates technical headwinds.

Insights from Proflex Macro Call

​
​One of the key insights this week: The market is currently fixated on minor corrections and fluctuating rate cut probabilities, completely missing the multi-trillion-dollar liquidity injection on the horizon.
​
Despite rising rates, significant capital is on the verge of deployment, setting the stage for a powerful, though potentially volatile, rally in favored assets.
​

History shows that sustained capital inflows, not momentary chart patterns, dictate the next structural bull run.

Key Drivers This Week

​
​Global Liquidity Tsunami: The Unseen Catalyst

A massive wave of capital is poised to enter the global financial system, setting the stage for significant market shifts. ​
​
Japan is leading the charge, unveiling a $110 billion stimulus package set to be finalized by November 21, 2025, including critical tax cuts and utility subsidies.
​
​Moreover, Japan's Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama confirms the package will exceed 17 trillion yen ($110 billion).
​
This move comes as Japan's bond yields climb on spending fears, signaling a willingness by authorities to inflate their way out.

Concurrently, a $300 billion TGA (Treasury General Account) drain is expected as per JP Morgan analysis, injecting substantial funds directly into the U.S. financial system.
​
Not to be outdone, China is consistently adding liquidity with weekly injections exceeding 1 trillion Yuan.
​
This trifecta of global liquidity is a powerful, yet underappreciated, force that will inevitably find its way into favored asset classes.

AI's Unchecked Ascent: Trusting the Builders, Not the Bears

The "AI bubble" debate continues to rage, but smart money is positioning with conviction. ​
​
​We believe the market is fundamentally misinterpreting the scale and longevity of this mega-trend.
​​
AI is a national security imperative, akin to the Cold War space race, and its buildout is still in its nascent stages. The investment scale, while large, is not unprecedented compared to historical technology revolutions.

Real monetization is evident: Google is expanding, hyperscalers aren't pulling back, and demand for APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic) remains robust.
​
Anticipate Nvidia's earnings next week to underscore this narrative; CEO Jensen Huang's discussions of a half-a-trillion-dollar order book for Blackwell and demand exceeding supply for Hopper units suggest continued strength.
​

The rising spreads on tech debt are merely the credit market's historical skepticism, mirroring early AWS investments—not a sign of an impending bust.

Bitcoin's Resilience Amidst Volatility: Macro Support Intact

Bitcoin experienced a steeper correction this week, technically rejecting the 200-day moving average.
​
This short-term weakness, however, is largely a function of still-low liquidity, amplifying volatility.
​
​But make no mistake, the macro picture for hard assets like Bitcoin remains unequivocally bullish.

Proflex emphasizes that the ending of Quantitative Tightening (QT), coupled with an increasing global money supply and expected lower interest rates, provides a powerful tailwind for digital gold.
​
Bitcoin's correlation with the broader macro liquidity narrative means any short-term "meltdown" is likely a blip, not a systemic issue. The smart money understands that as policy makers continue to ease and print, assets outside the traditional system will continue to benefit.

Macro Crosscurrents: Fed, Yields, and the Slowing Economy

The market is currently navigating a maze of conflicting macro signals. The probability of a December Fed rate cut has plummeted from 95% a month ago to 45%, largely due to post-blackout Fed commentary and delayed economic data.
​
​Yields are rising, sparking fears of an end to the easing cycle. Yet, QT is ending, a historical precursor to expanding the Fed's balance sheet again.
​

This signals a contrarian view: macro still favors lower rates ahead, and the market isn't truly concerned about runaway inflation.

"Main street" economic slowdown since 2022, coupled with rising unemployment outside the AI boom, dictates that policymakers have no appetite for pain.
​
Expect policy softness—further rate cuts and potentially QE—if the economy truly decelerates.
​
This dynamic is good for Big Tech and "blowing up" sectors, as easing policy funnels capital back into favored, growth-oriented assets.
​

🧭 Proflex Playbook – Stay Agile, Stay Alert

Short-term liquidity crunch and high leverage are creating volatility, but the medium to long-term macro picture is solid.
​
The overarching investment thesis should be to stay with the mega-trends and strong sectors like AI, as capital will inevitably flow towards favored assets.

Our stance remains clear and decisive:

• Focus on Structural Growth: Continue to overweight the secular AI theme, recognizing its multi-year runway.
  ​
• Anticipate Shallow Corrections: Use dips as accumulation opportunities, not reasons for fear, understanding that "none of the corrections stick."
  ​
• Diversify Thoughtfully: Recognize the "decorrelation" across asset classes; consider gold and Bitcoin for portfolio resilience.
  ​
• Develop Mental Models: Prioritize long-term planning (6-12 months out) over short-term news, aiming for consistent, incremental gains.

​
If you're an All-Access or Managed Portfolio subscriber, our positioning has already shifted ahead of this moment—scaling up asymmetric hard asset plays while hedging for earnings volatility and geopolitical tail risks.
