🚨 U.S. RECESSION REALITY CHECK 🚨
Sentiment is screaming… even if the data isn’t.
A new Gallup survey shows 57% of Americans believe the U.S. economy is ALREADY in a recession — despite official reports saying everything is “fine.”
That disconnect matters.
What the data isn’t showing 👇
📉 Consumer confidence is collapsing
💳 Households feel squeezed by prices, debt, and rates
🧾 Paychecks aren’t keeping up with real costs of living
Key insight
Markets can ignore feelings — until they can’t.
Historically, sentiment cracks before the data does.
Real-world takeaway:
People change behavior before recessions are “confirmed”
Spending slows
Risk appetite shifts
Capital looks for exits and hedges
That’s why assets like $BTC and crypto stay in focus — they trade expectations, not government revisions.
📌 Bottom line:
When 57% of the population feels recession, the economy is already under stress — labels come later.
Sentiment > statistics.
And sentiment just flipped risk-off. 👀🔥
