Stocked Investors Warn: US Equity Market Overpriced, Reveals Latest Bank of America Polling Data, As Asserted in Recent Article
In the ever-evolving world of finance, recent surveys and reports have shed light on the current sentiments of investors, revealing a mix of optimism and caution.
According to a Bank of America survey conducted in late July to early August 2025, a staggering 91% of fund managers believe U.S. stocks are overvalued, marking the highest level of concern about stock valuations among professional investors since 2001 [1][3][4]. Despite this, 16% remain underweight in U.S. stocks, signaling a cautious approach to the market.
The survey, which covered 169 fund managers managing $413 billion in assets, also revealed that market optimism endures, with many expecting a global economic soft landing and following the "Magnificent Seven" stocks as the most crowded long trade [1][2][4]. However, this optimism is accompanied by fears of potential bubbles and risks such as inflation, recession triggered by trade wars, and a possible correction in stocks post Federal Reserve events.
On the other hand, the crypto market is showing signs of bullish momentum. Bitcoin is on the cusp of entering the Euphoria phase, according to an on-chain analyst, as the bull market expands [5]. Meanwhile, MultiBank Group has reported record H1 results with $209 million revenue, and MBG Token has delivered 7x returns since its launch [6].
However, analysts warn of a potential Bitcoin meltdown as a Black Swan risk looms, and altcoins face a big shakeout [7]. This warning comes amid partnerships such as the one between NODO and Momentum, which aim to deploy AI-driven vault strategies on the Sui Network [8].
Elsewhere, the crypto landscape is seeing innovation with the launch of SwaggyX.com, the first AI-powered Web 3.0 prediction platform for crypto, sports, and global events [9]. FLOKI's Valhalla MMORPG has also been featured in a 60-day national commercial blitz on US television [10].
However, incidents such as the UK ban of Coinbase commercial [11] and a JPMorgan Chase employee accidentally unfreezing scammer's stolen money, resulting in a $20,000 loss for an Arizona couple [12], serve as reminders of the challenges and risks in the crypto space.
As the market continues to evolve, it's crucial for investors to stay informed and make decisions based on a balanced understanding of the current sentiment and potential risks.

In the realm of business, the crypto market stands in contrast to the stock market, showing signs of bullish momentum, with Bitcoin potentially entering the Euphoria phase. However, analysts warn of potential risks such as a Bitcoin meltdown and a big shakeout among altcoins. It's essential for investors to stay informed and make balanced decisions, taking into account both the current sentiments and potential risks.
