SPY's social sentiment score dropped to 35 out of 100 earlier today, down from a neutral 57.3 just last week. That's a 39% collapse in sentiment in under seven days. Discussions on Reddit show growing pessimism about equity valuations, debt concerns, and a rotation into defensive assets like gold. Meanwhile, speculative options activity remains elevated, a classic warning sign before corrections."

The author laid out a comprehensive bear case centered on the 2026-2028 debt refinancing crisis, noting that $25.8 trillion in U.S. debt matures over those three years. The post warned: "We're not in an AI bubble, we're in an everything bubble. It is not normal for gold, bitcoin, and the S&P to all be at ATH.""
