Burry’s Series of Predictions
Burry highlighted that after adjusting the inflation, the S&P 500 is down 25-26%, NASDAQ is down 34-35%, and BTC is down 64-65% so far this year. According to Burry, this downward trend in the market is a result of multiple compressions.
Recently, Burry also predicted that the bullwhip effect will force the Federal Reserves to revise their interest rates hike. The bullwhip effect refers to an erroneous overestimation of the demand, leading to a stockpile of inventories. Burry believes that the deflationary pulses from the effect will be revealed in the Consumer Price Index, which will lead The Fed to reverse its quantitative tightening.
