AI summary
The S&P 500 is trading just below its all-time high, but the excerpt notes that most individual stocks within the index are already in a bear market, indicating narrow market breadth. This divergence suggests that gains are concentrated in a small number of large-cap names rather than broad participation. For crypto traders, the story is macro context rather than a direct catalyst, since no specific digital assets or flows are mentioned.
