The dot-com comparison on this chart raises a question: What does that strength tell us about risk?

Watch this chart - straight from our October Global Market Perspective: "Even as demand for AI tokens keeps soaring, token prices have collapsed. Silicon Data’s LLM Token Expenditure Index, which tracks what users pay per million tokens, is off 51% since its May 28 peak, and on August 31 it fell below $1 for the first time in its history. Meanwhile, Silicon Data’s H100 Rental Index appears to be topping after climbing 42% from December 1 to August 2. In addition, Nvidia just agreed to pay $12.9 billion for Hugging Face. In other words, demand is soaring, prices are collapsing, and the world’s most valuable company appears to be buying insurance against its best customers."

Mega-cap technology stocks are driving the S&P 500. There were more new one-year lows than highs for 12 straight days. That kind of narrowing can make an index look healthier than the market underneath it really is. The question is how long that can continue.

Junk is in a funk... The spread on CCC-rated junk bonds has widened sharply and is now at its widest level in nearly three years.

The market looks strong. But take out technology and the picture changes dramatically. The Nasdaq 100 Technology Index is up 48% this year, sitting just below its June high. The Nasdaq 100 Ex-Technology Index? Down 3% for the year and down 9% from its August 19 high. In other words, a relatively small group of mega-cap tech stocks is doing the heavy lifting.

How healthy is the rally? In 13 of the past 14 sessions, more S&P 500 stocks hit new 52-week lows than new 52-week highs. Yesterday, 8.55% of S&P 500 stocks hit new 52-week lows, even as the index remained within 1.5% of its all-time high. The index is holding near its highs. The breadth underneath it is weakening.

In 2020, interest rates reached the end of a 39-year decline. The Fed expected near-zero short-term rates to persist for years. We saw things differently: Rates had bottomed. The long decline was over. Six years later, that call has enormous implications. 🧵

Gold is down more than 9% from its August high. So why are traders still piling into bullish bets? Outstanding $GLD (the largest gold ETF) calls now outnumber puts by roughly 2.3 million contracts, showing that bullish sentiment has remained remarkably strong even as gold prices have fallen. That sentiment could shift if gold continues lower.

30-year yields hit a 22-year high. Was there a sign before the surge? Go back to December 17, 2024. That's when EWAVES published this chart showing the 30-Year Treasury yield and an Elliott wave count indicating that a fifth wave higher in rates had begun. But EWAVES wasn't looking at yields alone. As Elliott Prechter explains, "I like to have different looks at the same underlying market." A long-term Treasury ETF was sending a similar signal at the same time - both eerily similar to 2008.
