17:01 11/07 UTC — Bearish
Major US stock indexes closed out a sharply negative week, highlighted by a 2.7% decline in the S&P 500 and double-digit drops in key tech leaders like TSLA. While Friday provided a brief digestion session, high volatility levels and scrutinated AI capital expenditures keep overall sentiment leaning cautious.
US equity benchmark indices experienced severe pressure, with the S&P 500 shedding 2.7% in its worst week since April 2025. Following a sharp Thursday dump accompanied by a VIX surge over 50%, Friday acted primarily as a digestion day with modest technical bounces. Investors are expressing growing anxiety regarding elevated mega-cap tech CapEx, potential margin calls among leveraged funds, and broader market valuation reset.
