  • Stock Market Flags Four Warning Signs Echoing 2008 and 2023 Crashes
    April 3, 2026, 9:22 AM EDT. The U.S. stock market is flashing four critical warning signs simultaneously, raising concerns about a potential downturn. The S&P 500 has dropped over 8% from January's peak, while consumer confidence recently hit one of its lowest levels since the University of Michigan began tracking. Valuations are nearing dot-com bubble heights, with the Shiller CAPE ratio at 39.7, second only to 1999. Oil prices surged over 50% following the Iran conflict, historically linked to recessions. Additionally, the S&P 500 closed below its 200-day moving average on March 19, a key technical signal of market weakness. These factors last aligned before the 2023 bear market wiped out $7 trillion and the 2008 crash slashed stocks by over half.
