AI Summary
Summary
The market is experiencing a massive, low-volume rally (10 consecutive up days) despite the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and ongoing geopolitical conflicts.
Cooler-than-expected PPI inflation data and massive short-covering by hedge funds are fueling the bullish momentum.
Bears and cash-holders are being heavily mocked by the community, though some users warn that the market is acting irrationally and ignoring the reality of oil supply chain disruptions.

[+6] u/Choice_Potato_6279: New ATH by the end of this week on S&P, thanks r/stocks for the buy signals :)
[+6] u/gummi_eater: I'm just here to laugh at the losers who are mad that the stock market isn't crashing.
[+18] u/FarrisAT: We might as well blockade the Hormuz permanently if it’s gonna pump my stocks this much.
[+12] u/_hiddenscout: PPI 0.5% MoM, Exp. 1.1%
PPI Core 0.1% MoM, Exp 0.4%
PPI 4.0% YoY, Exp. 4.6%
PPI Core 3.8% YoY, Exp. 4.1%
[+9] u/turnjet: 1. Timing the market is gambling; do it enough times and you will get burned.
2. Invest long-term in index funds and forget about it.
3. Focus on more important things with the extra life you get from not being stressed out every day.
Seriously, too many stupid people who can't follow something so simple.
[+9] u/zooka19: Bruh, why do people keep whining about manipulation? Just DCA and shut up.
Always screaming DCA until it's time to DCA.
[+9] u/Itchy_Document_5843: Many experts expect the sp500 to go above 7000 this year. Bullish.
Bears sound smart, and bulls make money long run.
[+9] u/_hiddenscout: Not sure how true this is, but interesting tidbit.
> Hedge funds covered their short positions last week at "fastest pace" in 10+ years
[+8] u/wearahat03: Keeping it simple works. All you had to do was buy stocks that were undervalued 3 weeks to a month ago
[+7] u/SportsGuru4714: Another reminder to think long term. Markets won't make sense half the time.
Invest long term, and sell options for additional compounding/income.
[+7] u/TipsyPeanuts: I understand the argument that the market is “forward looking” and that gas prices have less of an effect on large companies. But that argument ignores how the market reacted for the first month of this war.
It seems either the market reacted extremely irrationally to the start of the war, or it is acting irrationally now. Nothing has changed between now and then other than the worst case predictions regarding the strait coming true. I’d love to hear a well thought out argument for why the market could react so negatively to uncertainty but when the worst fears of that uncertainty come true, it begins to rip
[+7] u/IvoryTowerResident: [https://www.iea.org/reports/oil-market-report-april-2026](https://www.iea.org/reports/oil-market-report-april-2026)
Here is the IEA ( International Energy Agency) report on Oil since the strait has been closed. Just released today for those resident oil experts here.
[+7] u/NotGucci: Wow, going break 700 sometime this week. Just unstoppable bullsm
[+6] u/freshoffdablock69: 10th up day in a row. Market seems like it will go through all time high, but completely ignoring the risk of the strait being closed for a significant time. I think that we may not see the market pull back until earnings season when guidance is clearly going to be weaker than projected before March. Imo, market is getting ahead of itself and is acting certain in an uncertain time. Also probably rallying because we will likely get some more rate cuts. But 10 days in a row just feels weird.
Edit: Also, I feel like the oil market hasn't fully captured the price of serious OPEC oil production cuts. It's like everything is geared for best case scenario right now
[+6] u/iXProject: So market said no more chop just up? I’m gonna buy more today so we’ll see a multi week decline
[+6] u/Apprehensive_Law7629: Elections are behind the corner. It’s bulls time my fellows 😎.
[+5] u/NickStonk: What happened to the bears who were predicting a Great Depression because of the Iran war. The oil supply chain experts who said prices would never be able to come down due to permanent damage. The ones who sold all their stocks and went to cash. Y’all still there?
[+5] u/t3ch1t: Why is the volume so low? Average volume for SPY is 90M. Today it’s only 10M. Same thing for every stock I check. Volume is a quarter or less than the average.
[+5] u/_hiddenscout: Funny to hear Mike Wilson on CNBC right now not being bearish.
[+5] u/_hiddenscout: Anyone else see that video of Zelenskyy talking about all their drone tech? It’s so rad.
I guess Ukraine just won a battle using their drones and unmanned battle robots.
We are now entering a new era modern warfare.
[+5] u/Ancient-Dust3077: these dumbasses at the gym were talking about how they are shorting stocks due to this strait iran stuff...wonder how that's going for them
[+5] u/ShootsnLadders: Gotta say I’m glad I’m kept buying Google
[+5] u/Charming_Raccoon4361: anyone still holding cash? alot of people that went full cash still are in denial .
[+5] u/JuneFernan: Back to that free money life, I guess.
[+5] u/themagicalpanda: I sure do love Amazon
Investors are expressing relief and satisfaction with holding Google through recent market volatility. As the broader market rallies on cooling inflation and tech continues to lead, mega-cap tech stocks like Google remain safe havens for capital deployment. Accumulating and holding Google remains a favored strategy among retail investors in this bull run. Broader market pullback if earnings guidance is negatively impacted by global supply chain/oil issues.
Community members are explicitly highlighting their bullishness and satisfaction with Amazon's performance. The "free money" environment hinted at by cooling PPI and potential rate cuts disproportionately benefits consumer discretionary and e-commerce giants. Amazon is viewed as a strong long-term hold in the current macroeconomic environment. Higher oil prices from the Hormuz blockade could eventually squeeze logistics and shipping margins.
The community is celebrating and anticipating a new All-Time High for the S&P 500 by the end of the current week, citing collective "buy signals." This indicates a strong, consensus-driven momentum play where the crowd sentiment itself is seen as a catalyst for continued upward movement in the broad index. Follow the crowd's bullish momentum on the primary U.S. index for a short-term gain targeting a new high. No counter-arguments are presented in the provided comments, representing a potential echo chamber risk. The thesis is purely sentiment-driven without fundamental analysis.
