The brief
Bank of America has warned that the rally in AI‑related stocks is approaching a painful snapback, and that the broader S&P 500 could lose much of the gains recorded this year as speculation reaches extreme levels. Coverage from Startup Fortune, Bloomberg.com, Yahoo Finance, Fortune, Investopedia and Chinese outlet 富途牛牛 highlights the bank’s technical view of a ‘three‑wave correction’ and urges investors to monitor two key market levels that could signal a summer turning point.
Analysts will be watching those two levels, the progression of the three‑wave correction, and the performance of the S&P 500 through the third quarter for signs that the warned‑about pullback is materializing.
