Goldman Sachs is back to cool down the US stock market, saying it's ready for a pullback this week.The reasons they gave are:First, the current total leverage ratio of US stocks is as high as 310%, ranking in the 98th percentile over a five-year period. This means that for every $3.10 in stock positions in institutional accounts, only $1 is their own, and the remaining $2.10 is borrowed. Moreover, this leverage ratio is higher than it was 98% of the time over the past five years. At the same time, the net leverage ratio is only 75%, at the 21st percentile over a one-year period, indicating that while there is a lot of long positioning, short-selling pressure is also not low, and market confidence in the upside is not very firm.Second, from a technical perspective, this round of gains was driven by CTA quant fund buying and short covering, with CTAs buying $70 billion. However, they expect next week's buying amount to drop to $23 billion, and the demand for short covering is also decreasing.Finally, they believe that the closure of the Strait of Hormuz over the weekend has also cast a shadow over the negotiations, so they think the timing for a pullback is ripe.But, but. They also admit that the market outlook is very difficult to grasp and may replicate the performance seen after last year's tariff war.So, in summary, I think short-term risks exist. Those looking to enter the market should be more cautious, not aggressive, and take it slow. However, the long-term trend is still upward. So, if a good pullback occurs, that would be a good opportunity to get on board.$Invesco QQQ Trust(QQQ.US)$Tesla(TSLA.US)$NVIDIA(NVDA.US)$Sandisk(SNDK.US)$Intel(INTC.US)$Micron Tech(MU.US)" datetime: "2026-04-20T07:14:42.000Z" locales: - [en](https://longbridge.com/en/topics/40033385.md) - [zh-CN](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/topics/40033385.md) - [zh-HK](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/topics/40033385.md) author: "[纳斯达克战士](https://longbridge.com/en/profiles/12201158.md)" --- # Goldman Sachs continues to cool down the US stock … ### Related Stocks - [SNDK.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SNDK.US.md) - [INTC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/INTC.US.md) - [NVDA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDA.US.md) - [04335.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/04335.HK.md) - [GS.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GS.US.md) - [QQQ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/QQQ.US.md) - [TSLA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLA.US.md) - [MU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MU.US.md) - [W4VR.SG](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/W4VR.SG.md) - [NVD.DE](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVD.DE.md) - [SNDKV.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SNDKV.US.md) ## Comments (11) - **Margaretss · 2026-04-20T10:59:56.000Z**: What's up?

Probably not many retail investors are shorting anymore. They're starting to get retail investors to short, and after a few more rounds of squeezing, it should be time for a pullback. - **上海长期坚持走科技创 · 2026-04-20T08:22:46.000Z**: When everyone says it's a pullback, that's the time to buy. - **jiafei等待计划执行 · 2026-04-20T08:08:23.000Z · 👍 1**: Last time Goldman Sachs said GTA would sell, and it really sold a lot, it just took a week or two to materialize. So what Goldman Sachs is saying this time can still be believed a little, they definitely missed the boat. - **I N money B Porsche · 2026-04-20T07:57:17.000Z · 👍 2**: He missed the boat🤣 - **每月10%就够了 · 2026-04-20T07:45:00.000Z · 👍 6**: Goldman Sachs saying this means they want us to sell, so they can go pick up the chips. This Goldman Sachs is the most shameless. - **躺平致富经** (2026-04-20T10:42:24.000Z): Hahaha, that's insane - **笨就交给大美利坚吧 · 2026-04-20T07:23:29.000Z · 👍 4**: He also missed the boat - **名为时间的荒野. · 2026-04-20T07:20:56.000Z · 👍 4**: Got it. I'll definitely make the most of this pullback.
