EVERYTHING’S BUBBLING
The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100, for example, have fallen by a lower -9.9% and -12.1%, respectively, from their own highs compared to the FAANGs. In fact, the recent stock rout has been led by the once-red-hot FAANG as tech-oriented ETFs saw “massive outflows” in November, reports Bloomberg.
“The conditions that have allowed these kinds of high-growth stocks to outperform have changed, if not reversed,” says David Lafferty, chief market strategist at Natixis Advisors. “I just don’t see much upside.”
Similar conditions may have also allowed for this exuberance to spillover to the nascent cryptocurrency industry earlier this year. Both Wall Street and retail investors began buying into the high-risk, high-reward casino world of crypto and novel ICOs pushing the price to record highs by the end of 2017.
At the time, newly launched Bitcoin futures marked Bitcoin’s entry into mainstream finance, boosting Bitcoin price to new heights. Today, BTC price $4003.83 -0.46% is down roughly 85% from its all-time high of almost $20,000.
