The biggest risk right now is not panic selling by humans, but machines quietly hitting sell buttons.

Goldman Sachs says systematic and algorithmic funds are still positioned to reduce exposure if markets stay weak. These strategies react to technical levels, volatility, and momentum, not headlines.

With liquidity still thin, even modest moves could trigger billions of dollars in additional selling, keeping pressure on major indices.

Goldman also notes that recent rebounds have not been strong enough to reset key signals, meaning downside risk remains if markets fail to stabilize.

The warning is clear: this pullback may be driven more by structure than sentiment, and that kind of selling rarely ends quickly.
