Are we heading toward another market downturn in 2025? In this video, we break down five key indicators that have historically warned us before major recessions and crashes:
Yield Curve Inversion – Often flags economic trouble ahead.
Sahm Rule – Tracks a sudden rise in unemployment, signaling recession risks.
Buffett Indicator – Measures how overvalued the stock market may be compared to the real economy.
Insider Trading Activity – Shows whether those who know their companies best are quietly selling off shares.
Fear & Greed Index – Reflects market sentiment, from calm caution to reckless optimism.
We look back at the 2001 dot-com bubble and the 2008 financial crisis to see how these indicators lined up before those downturns—and we examine what they’re showing us today. While none of these signals can predict the future with absolute certainty, they can help us stay alert.
