A Reddit thread (timestamped

) debated whether the U.S. stock market is experiencing a broad sell-off or a concentrated correction in non-Mag7 speculative stocks. Key arguments included:

• Bullish
  : Speculative stocks are down 30-40% from October highs without business changes, presenting rebound opportunities.
• Bearish
  : Listed stocks are mostly unprofitable meme assets, not legitimate investments.
• Index Performance
  : SPY/QQQ are performing well, suggesting the sell-off is overstated.

Tool data confirms a stark contrast between speculative stocks and major indices from

:

• Speculative Stocks
  : CRWV (-47.55%), NBIS (-20.44%), ACHR (-22.15%) saw sharp declines; ASTS was an outlier (+3.74%) [0].
• Indices
  : SPY (+1.79%) and QQQ (+1.96%) posted modest gains [0].

This divergence supports the claim that the sell-off is concentrated in non-index speculative stocks, not the broader market.

• Technology
  : Up 0.78% (CRWV, ASTS) [3].
• Communication Services
  : Down 0.15% (NBIS) [3].
• Industrials
  : Up1.24% (ACHR) [3].
