Recent analyses indicate that the S&P 500 is experiencing heightened exposure levels, reminiscent of conditions preceding significant market declines. According to Citi, this exposure has reached levels that historically foreshadowed a 10% market slide. Additionally, the current stock market is being characterized as one of the most expensive in over a century, surpassing valuations seen before the 1929 crash and nearing those of the Dot-Com bubble. Investors' allocation to stocks has surged to 61%, the highest in at least 40 years, reflecting a nearly doubled allocation since 2009. Furthermore, U.S. households have recorded a stock exposure of 48% in October, marking a new peak and aligning with levels seen during the Dot-Com bubble. The overall market is also noted to be at its most overvalued since the peak of the Dot-Com bubble, raising concerns about potential future downturns.
