The American Association of Individual Investors (AAII) recently reported a bearish sentiment of 60%, marking the highest level since the 2008 financial crisis when it peaked at 70%. This extreme sentiment is often associated with a potential market rebound, as historical data suggests that such bearish periods can lead to gains of approximately 13.6% within a year. The AAII survey indicates that bullish sentiment has fallen below 20% for the first time since September 2022, when it registered at 17.7%. Additionally, the Goldman Sachs (GS) US Equity Sentiment Indicator has reached its lowest point in nearly two years. Analysts note that current investor positioning is more bearish than expected given the decline in the S&P 500 index ($SPX). This trend may suggest that while market corrections are anticipated, the likelihood of a significant upward movement could also be on the horizon.
