Many people are watching the TGA. Yellen is expected to grow the TGA to $425B by June 30th. Analysts are warning that the liquidity effects will prove to be headwinds for the market.
While the TGA is on TradingView ($WTREGEN), it is only updated one a week.

was one of the first, if not the first to popularize the model:

Remember when the bank crisis happened in March and the Fed balance sheet grew as a result of loans?
That was a huge liquidity injection and the markets responded accordingly.
Net Liquidity is now higher than it was on March 15th.
We'll see if this is sustainable.
