Everyone wants to call the next recession… but very few know what to actually look for.
In today's episode, we break down a viewer's question about using 4 key charts to identify a recession. Sounds simple—but is it really that easy? Or are most people oversimplifying one of the most complex shifts in the economy?
We'll start with the basics: What is a recession? Then we'll dig into the indicators professionals watch—things like the yield curve, unemployment rate, and broader measures tied to gross domestic product (GDP).
More importantly, we'll connect these signals to real market behavior—because knowing a recession is coming doesn't help unless you understand how to position around it.
This episode is about separating headline fear from actionable insight.
