Liquidity is Contracting: The 2026 Macro Defense Playbook
- 19 Feb 2026
Liquidity is Contracting
The global liquidity cycle is turning. After years of expansion, we are seeing the first signs of a systemic contraction in the M2 money supply across major economies.
The Signal
Our proprietary liquidity models have shifted from βNeutralβ to βDefensiveβ. This is not a drill. Historically, when the yield curve and liquidity metrics align in this specific configuration, equity and crypto volatility spikes by an average of 40% within the subsequent 90 days.
Portfolio Positioning
- Cash Allocation: Increase stablecoin reserves to 30-40%.
- Hedged Positions: Utilize inverse products and volatility harvesting strategies.
- Risk Management: Tiered exit strategies for high-beta assets.

- DXY: 104.5 (Resistance)
- US10Y: 4.2% (Pivot)
