Being setup to fail?

I’ve been working for my current employer, a well funded startup, since day 1 for the last 6 years. I’ve always had great performance reviews, and have built a good team that recently shipped our first official consumer product.
Now, I’m being asked by my boss to relinquish all my teams and responsibilities. Instead, I’ll be asked to lead a new never-before-existing team. This team currently has no headcount, and no headcount was requested in this budget cycle. The roles and responsibilities of this team are ill-defined, and it comes with no promotion.
I feel like I’m being moved “off critical path” to a staging role until they can collect enough data to fire me. Of course, a team with no headcount isn’t going to perform well, so it won’t take long
Is there any recourse here?
