On Wednesday, the S&P 500 traded 13% above its 200-day moving average, the highest since July 2024, just before the market sold off. On Friday, the index finished at 6,840, or 12% above its 200-day moving average of 6,111 points.

This century, the market has reached such extreme levels only a few times.

But what can you actually DO about the proclaimed ‘AI bubble’? Billionaires know an alternative…

Sure, if you held your stocks since the dotcom bubble, you would’ve been up—eventually. But three years after the dot-com bust the S&P 500 was still far down from its peak. So, how else can you invest when almost every market is tied to stocks?

Lo and behold, billionaires have an alternative way to diversify: allocate to a physical asset class that outpaced the S&P by 15% from 1995 to 2025, with almost no correlation to equities. It’s part of a massive global market, long leveraged by the ultra-wealthy (Bezos, Gates, Rockefellers etc).

In other words, the technical analysis suggests there is not much further upside, at least in the short term.

This can resolve in only two ways over the next few weeks: either the market will go sideways or we will see a pullback or correction.
