The Julia La Roche Show #274 Henrik Zeberg: Markets Approaching Historic Blow-Off Top Before Major Crash
Jul 15, 2025
Henrik Zeberg, the head macro economist at SwissBlock, discusses alarming market predictions using his business cycle model. He warns of a looming historic 'blow-off top' in the S&P 500, potentially reaching 6,700-6,900 before a severe crash. Zeberg identifies a 'Titanic moment' in economic indicators and critiques the Federal Reserve for its missteps. Despite a bullish outlook on Bitcoin targeting $150K-$180K, he cautions of an 80% crash risk, drawing parallels to the subprime crisis in corporate treasuries.
