The ratio of leveraged long to short funds has doubled over the past eight weeks, surpassing the previous record high set in December 2021. Recent reports indicate that US leveraged ETF assets under management reached approximately $120 billion in November 2024, a record level, and have doubled since 2022. This growth in leveraged ETFs is accompanied by a notable increase in trading volume, with $84 billion recorded in single-stock leveraged ETFs last month, the highest on record. The current market sentiment reflects a mix of fear and euphoria, as investors appear heavily invested in leveraged products, raising concerns about potential market volatility.
