Every once in a while on Wall Street there's a "washout": a cataclysmic shift in the market that swaths of the investment community do not survive.
Wall Street is currently teetering on the edge of such an event. But why now?

Before the pandemic, the most pressing problem for central banks was the recovery from the financial crisis. The Federal Reserve kept interest rates historically low to encourage banks to give out loans and juice the economy.
One of the Fed's main jobs is to control how much money is sloshing around the economy.
Between late 2008 and mid-2014, it injected 3 trillion dollars into the system. At the same time, in an unprecedented move, it kept interest rates pegged at zero.

It also means that all those hot meme stocks, SPACs, and growth stories either need to prove their current business is worth those sky-high valuations, or be washed out with the market rout.

But now, the Fed is likely to raise interest rates multiple times in the coming year to fight inflation.

Crypto experts are awaiting a rather ominous-sounding event — "The Flippening."
The term refers to the hypothetical point where ether overtakes bitcoin. Some investors fear it could unsettle the crypto market. 👇

In a market bubble, it's easy to confuse opportunity for genius. But when the market tanks, a lot of those brilliant operators disperse, Lopez says.
And the market has certainly tanked, with a recession likely on the horizon.

We have a long way to fall, Lopez says, but this isn't like 2008 when the collapse of the economy pulled the stock market down.
This time the problem is the stock market and its unrealistic valuations.

The good news is, inflation aside, the real economy is looking strong, Lopez says. Wages are up, unemployment is down, and a receding pandemic should help clear clogged supply chains.
But Wall Street's masters of the universe face an extinction event.
