  • Erratic Moves in Bitcoin, Silver, and Memory Stocks Raise Concerns for Bull Market
    February 2, 2026, 9:46 AM EST. After a strong January, the S&P 500 posted a 1.4% gain that annualizes to an 18% advance, signaling potential for a fourth straight year of robust returns. Corporate earnings and economic data remain positive, supporting optimism. Yet, the market faces significant volatility. The S&P 500 has stalled since late October, pressured by major tech stocks. Meanwhile, silver and gold prices tumbled from multi-year highs alongside a dollar rebound, and memory-chip stocks, including Sandisk, saw sharp reversals after surging.
