The S&P 500 is down ~9.1% from its record highs due to a rolling bear market and geopolitical shocks. Despite the significant sector-specific selloffs, the author notes that non-AI-adjacent parts of the market are holding up well, justifying holding long-term positions. Maintain long-term broad market exposure but expect continued near-term volatility. The rolling bear market could finally drag down the remaining resilient sectors.
TLDR
=== SUMMARY ===
- The author notes that major indices (Dow, NASDAQ, S&P 500) have entered correction territory, driven by a "rolling bear market" that began in late 2025.
- Various sectors (Software, Crypto, Big Tech, Banks, Precious Metals, Memory) have sequentially sold off by 20-50%, with the recent Iran conflict accelerating the broader market decline.
- Quality assessment: Well-researched market observation and historical context, though primarily retrospective rather than projecting specific future price targets.
