(Think: the “engine” is losing power even if the car is still moving.) • Volatility Index (VIX) Spikes A sudden and persistent rise in the VIX usually signals fear building up. • Yield Curve Inversion When short-term rates become higher than long-term rates — a classic recession/correction predictor. • Credit Spreads Widening Corporate bond yields rising faster than government bonds → stress in the system. • Moving Average Crossovers Price falls below the 200-day...
