EPISODE 14 | The Market’s Weak Zebra
June 5, 2026 In the latest episode of Protect the Pile, RPK and Sam break down a volatile market setup: strong U.S. growth data, tightening dollar liquidity, tech factor reversals, and continued strength in semiconductors despite a sharp pullback. Patrick and Sam debate whether current conditions remain Quad 2 or are drifting toward Quad 1 or Quad 3, with health care showing early relative strength. They also dig into the oil supply shock, China’s inventory drawdowns, fuel-shortage risks, Bitcoin’s weakening use case, and how stablecoins could reshape payments and challenge legacy financial rails.
