Report came in that the US GDP shrank in the 1st quarter by -0.3%
It's an early indication that the 2nd quarter should see more negative growth which would mark the beginning of a recession in the United States. This should put downward pressure on the economy which will accelerate in the 3rd and 4th quarter of 2025.
And this in turn should cause the stock markets to decline.
However, this does not necessarily mean a crash, but it does seem to indicate at very least a market correction later this year, no later than October 2025.
