STATE OF THE MARKET — June 2026

Market Clock Studio — Professor Clock

1. Where We’re Coming From 

Over the past year, the stock market has moved steadily higher, powered mainly by strong demand and leadership from technology stocks. Our data shows that prices have climbed to the highest levels of this entire bull run, while volatility (fear) has dropped to some of the lowest levels in years. This tells us investors have been confident, and the market has been running on strong momentum. But as we look deeper into the numbers, we can see that some parts of the market — like small caps and the Dow — have started to slow down or show early signs of weakness. This shift is important because it tells us the market is no longer rising evenly across all sectors.

2. Where We Are Now (Market Stage)

Today, the market is still strong, but the energy behind the move is no longer increasing. Technology is still leading, but other areas are losing strength. When price keeps rising but demand stops rising, it means the bull market is entering its late stage. According to the Stock Market Clock, we are now in Phase 3B, which is the point where confidence is high, volatility is low, and the market looks great on the surface — but the internal strength begins to fade. This is the stage right before the market enters Phase 3C, the exhaustion phase, where tops usually form.

3. Bottom Line (Conclusion & What’s Next)

The market is still moving up, but it is no longer getting stronger. We are in the late stage of the bull market, and the next 60 days may bring more volatility, slower gains, and the first signs of a market top. Technology is holding the market together, but other areas are weakening. Volatility is extremely low, which usually happens before bigger moves.

Bottom Line: We are in Phase 3B, moving toward Phase 3C — the final hour of the bull wave.
